  • Postdoc in Brazil with the Mograbi Lab : Psychoactive Substances and Self-Awareness

    1 March 2025 - 28 February 2026

    Many of you may remember a lecture we recently hosted given by Dr Daniel Mograbi from Brazil: Exploring self-awareness through neuroscience: studies with clinical groups and psychoactive substances.

    The Mograbi Lab, based in Rio, Brazil have a postdoc position available to focus on psychoactive substances and self-awareness.

    The fellowship is for one year.

    It pays R$5200 monthly (roughly R200 000 for the full year), sufficient to live in Rio as a single student. Although the fellowship does not include travel costs, Dr Mograbi has kindly offered to cover the SA-Brazil-SA airfare with some of his other funding.

    The ideal start date would be in March, but they can be flexible in terms of the arrival date, with the possibility of starting work remotely for the first few months.

    No previous research experience with psychoactive substances is needed, but ideally someone with a solid methods background and experience in studies with humans. 

    Candidates should send a CV and information on previous research work to danielmograbi@puc-rio.br.

    Please share widely with anyone that may be interested.
