[CogSci] Postdoc in computational cognitive science at the University of Melbourne

[Charles Kemp]

The Complex Human Data Hub (CHDH) at the University of Melbourne is seeking
a postdoctoral research associate to collaborate with Charles Kemp on the
mathematical and computational study of human cognition. Applicants from
Australia and elsewhere are both welcome. Start date is flexible and
funding is available for up to three years.

This position is not tied to a particular project so the postdoc will play
a key role in developing the research agenda. Some background in cognitive
science is essential and researchers with an interest in computational
approaches to language are especially encouraged. Representative topics
include cross-linguistic semantics, cultural and linguistic evolution,
categorization, learning, decision-making and inductive reasoning.
Representative approaches include probabilistic modeling,
information-theoretic analyses, and the analysis of large naturally
occurring data sets (e.g. linguistic corpora, dictionaries, twitter posts,
and image collections). We are looking for an excellent early career
researcher with experience and interest in any subset of these topics and
approaches.

The principal supervisor for this position will be Charles Kemp. The
postdoc will also have the chance to interact with Simon Dennis, Daniel
Little, Amy Perfors and other members of the Complex Human Data Hub.

Applications submitted before July 31 will receive full consideration, and
applications after this date may also be considered.  For more information
please contact Charles Kemp at charles.kemp at unimelb.edu.au. Formal
applications should be submitted at
