prediction, memory, and
attention in guiding goal-directed behavior, especially within
complex,
naturalistic environments. We are primarily interested in
candidates using neuroimaging,
computational (e.g., Bayesian decision theory, reinforcement
learning),
behavioral (including technology-driven approaches such as
virtual reality),
and/or developmental approaches. Both individuals and teams are
encouraged to
apply. Successful candidates will join a dynamic department with
interests in
the study of perception, motor control, learning, cognition,
language, and
development through combined neurobiological, computational, and
behavioral
research (<a href="http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/index.html"
