Desirable qualifications include: (1) excellent academic training in the area of spatial cognition and more broadly neuroscience and/or psychology; (2) experience with neuroscience methods, such as those listed above; (3) good computing and programming skills; (4) quantitative and/or statistics experience; and (5) the independent scientific writing, e.g., a promising publication record.
