[CogSci] Postdoc Position in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience (Angela Yu)

[Angela Yu]

Applications are invited from highly motivated researchers for a
postdoctoral position immediately available in the Computational &
Cognitive Neuroscience Lab, led by Prof. Angela Yu, at University of
California, San Diego. Initial appointment is for one year, renewable for
up to 2-3 years.

Dr. Yu’s lab applies modern machine learning and statistical tools to
extract computational principles that underlie cognitive processes that
enable intelligent behavior, in particular how humans and other intelligent
agents perform inference, learning, decision-making, and social
interactions under conditions of uncertainty and non-stationarity. Current
interests include perception, face processing, active sensing, judgement
and decision making, and social cognition.

Applicants should be committed to applying rigorous mathematical tools to
model cognitive functions and/or their neural underpinnings. Experience or
interest in carrying out human behavioral experiments (either in person or
on Amazon M-Turk) and/or collaborating with other
neuroimaging/neurophysiology laboratories is desirable.

Dr. Yu's lab is situated within the Cognitive Science department, and also
affiliated with the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute, the Computer Science
Department, the Neurosciences Graduate Program, and the Institute of
Neural Computation. There are ample opportunities for collaborations with
related groups across the UCSD main campus, the medical school, and the
Salk Institute.

Interested candidates should send a research statement, along with a CV
including publications, to Dr. Angela Yu (ajyu at ucsd.edu) with the subject
“Postdoc Application”. Two or more letters of references should be sent
directly by the recommenders to ajyu at ucsd.edu. More information about Dr.
Yu’s group can be found at http://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu .
