Neuroscience, Psychology and Economics

Participation in the research activities of the Project “Neuroscience research on new models of communication and emotional engagement” related to the investigation of managerial decision-making and to the design of interventions aimed at reducing the stress-related behavior.

Collaboration with a multidisciplinary team to apply behavioral science and effectively investigate specific mental and cognitive skills. The analysis will allow designing a type of intervention to improve concentration and attention, performance awareness, anxiety, and emotional management, with the ultimate goal to control manager-customer interactions and implement communication.

Typical tasks include conducting literature searches and reviews, assessing managers' behavior, brainstorming and contributing to the design of behavioral-change interventions, analyzing quantitative behavioral data, and communicating about behavioral science with individuals inside and outside of the business in a dual-research and consulting role.

The research projects will engage the use of brain imaging methodologies, biometrics (skin conductance, heart rate) and other technologies (EEG, bio- and neuro-feedback) in assessing how each manager performs in the organization. The candidate will take part in insightful research processes, both qualitative and quantitative.

In particular, research activities regard:

• Work on behavioral research projects, with a focus on evaluating and influencing consumer behavior;
• Synthesizing and applying primary behavioral science research within a commercial context;
• Collaborating closely with insurance professionals and clients.

• Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Psychology or similar field (acquired in the last 24 months);
• Candidates must have an excellent track record of academic research, or experience in consulting, and in using eye trackers, GSR sensors, neuro- and bio-feedback;
• An excellent knowledge of both written and spoken English is required.
