[CogSci] Bocconi University Multiple Open-Rank Cluster Hiring

[Nicolas Brunel]

Bocconi University in Milan (Italy) is excited to announce the creation 
of a *new Department of Cognitive Science* and invites applications for 
*multiple positions* at all academic ranks *across all major areas of 
the field*. The Department will unite scholars in cognitive psychology, 
cognitive neuroscience, computational psychology and artificial 
intelligence, social psychology, and behavioral economics to advance an 
integrated science of the human mind. A central ambition is to foster 
collaboration across methodological traditions and to leverage Bocconi’s 
strength in economics, computational and social sciences to address 
questions at the intersection of cognition, markets, institutions, and 
public policy.

*Research Environment*

The Department will comprise approximately 25 faculty members conducting 
frontier research and teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels. The 
department will be equipped with the *Bocconi Cognition Lab. *In this 
interdisciplinary laboratory, researchers will explore the cognitive 
mechanisms that underlie decision making by using cutting edge 
techniques for behavioral measurements, non-invasive brain stimulation 
and activity recording, and computational modeling.
