Dear CogSci community,

The Bowdoin College Psychology Department invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow to join Assistant Professor, Abhilasha Kumar on a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded grant. The project, Modeling Search within the Mental Lexicon (NSF #2235362) will investigate the cognitive mechanisms underlying memory search and retrieval.

The postdoctoral scholar will also collaboratively work with colleagues from Indiana University.

Prior experience with computational modeling, proficiency in Python and/or R, and familiarity with version control (Git/Github) and project management are required for this position.

This is a two-year appointment, starting as soon as September 1, 2023. The annual stipend for this benefits-eligible position is $63,000.
