2. Are you an internal candidate at Radboud University? If so, please fill in your U, S or E number. *

  •   No
  •   Yes
You are employed by Radboud university if you:
- Work at Radboud University (i.e. have an employment contract with Radboud University). You are not employed by Radboud University if you work at Radboudumc.
- Currently work as a student employee at Radboud University through the campus employment office.
- Work as a temporary employee at, or have been seconded to, Radboud University.
- Are a former Radboud University employee receiving unemployment (WW/BWNU) benefits paid by Radboud University (which started less than two years ago or resulted from the discontinuation of your job/redundancy).
If you are an internal candidate, please apply with your private email address.

3. Please add an analysis concept note (max. 2 pages) outlining how you would approach a hypothetical multimodal neuroimaging dataset investigating variability in language networks. The concept note should: 1) Formulate one clearly defined research question related to brain connectivity and language. 2) Outline the proposed preprocessing and analysis steps (e.g., structural, diffusion, or functional MRI processing). 3) Describe at least one modelling or statistical strategy you would apply (e.g., network analysis, dimensionality reduction, predictive modelling). 4) Identify potential methodological challenges or confounds and how you would address them. 5) Briefly explain how you would ensure reproducibility and transparency of the analysis. *
