Researchers who develop and test computational models across levels of representations (from the brain to the mind) are particularly welcome to apply. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin: 0pt -11pt 0pt -11.25pt; text-indent: -0.25pt; text-align: justify; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0pt 0pt 15pt 0.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The department’s research in this area utilizes large-scale, high-resolution electrophysiology and neuroimaging of both individuals and groups, state-of-the-art augmented and virtual reality, and a wide range of methods to study behavior from active information seeking in the fovea, to interactive, naturalistic communication and the transmission of complex information across individuals, as well as the joint learning and coordination of group behavior and collective decision-making. Successful candidates are expected to develop a highly competitive research program that establishes collaborations within the department, especially within our cluster of cutting-edge experimentalists studying neural systems and behavior in naturalistic settings. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin: 0pt -11pt 0pt -11.25pt; text-indent: -0.25pt; text-align: justify; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0pt 0pt 15pt 0.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our department is vibrant and highly interdisciplinary, with strong ties to other departments across engineering, the arts and sciences, and the medical campus (incl. Neuroscience, Neurosurgery, Computer Science, Physics, Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Linguistics, the Eastman School of Music, and the Goergen Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence). The City of Rochester, NY is a diverse, LGBTQ+ friendly, and family-friendly community located on Lake Ontario adjacent to the Finger Lakes region with a metropolitan population of 1+ million. Rochester also boasts a thriving arts and music culture, substantial employment opportunities in various sectors, affordable housing, a rich history of social justice, and easy access to urban, suburban, and rural neighborhoods.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin: 0pt -11pt 0pt -11.25pt; text-indent: -0.25pt; text-align: justify; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0pt 0pt 15pt 0.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Questions concerning this position can be addressed to Prof. Florian Jaeger (</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(37, 119, 166); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="mailto:fjaeger@ur.rochester.edu">fjaeger@ur.rochester.edu</a></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">), chair of the search committee, or Prof. Dora Biro (</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(37, 119, 166); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="mailto:dbiro@ur.rochester.edu">dbiro@ur.rochester.edu</a></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">), chair of the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences.
