Employed | Episode 13 | Cognitive Neuroscience Maastricht University | Psychology and Neuroscience Podcast

Welcome to Employed! Today we are listening to Job van den Hurk and Giancarlo Valente. Job is an alumnus of the master Psychology specialisation Cognitive Neuroscience, and Giancarlo is the programme coordinator.

Job talks about his current position as scientific director of Scannexus, the ultra high field imaging centre in Maastricht, and his job as co-host of the children’s tv programme on the brain called BrainStorm. He talks about staying open and finding a position that fits you, even if it may stray a bit from your original path. Just because you’re specialised in your training, doesn’t mean you cannot be valuable outside of that field. And how difficult times in your life and career can be the best learning moments.
