Interested authors should initially submit a proposal (including title, prospective author(s), affiliation(s), abstract with 200 words maximum) to bjop at wiley.com no later than 1 March 2021. We look forward to receiving your proposal.

One current project of particular interest is using machine learning, computer vision, and statistical techniques to model human face processing and representation, as well as face-based social cognition. More broadly, 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 face processing, attention, active sensing, judgement and decision making, and social cognition. Applicants should be committed to applying rigorous computational and mathematical tools to understand natural intelligence. Experience or interest in carrying out human behavioral experiments (either in person or on-line) and/or collaborating with neuroimaging/neurophysiology laboratories is desirable. Initial appointment is for one year, renewable for up to 2-3 years. 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 (in particular explaining why you think you would be a good fit for this position in my lab), along with a CV including publications, to Dr. Angela Yu (ajyu at ucsd.edu ) with the subject “Postdoc Application” (I may miss your application otherwise). 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 https://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu . ---------------------------------------------- Angela Yu Associate Professor Dept. of Cognitive Science Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute UC San Diego 858-822-3317 http://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu ---------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Two of these posts are for any area of Psychology with one available as a permanent appointment and the other as a fixed-term 3 year position. We also have a lectureship advertised in behavioural or cognitive neuroscience. This latter post is for a fixed term of 4 years. In addition to behavioural research facilities including a dedicated child development lab (BabyLab) we also have a new Brain Imaging Research Centre (https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/research/psychology/brain-research-and-imaging-centre) which is due to open next year with MRI, EEG and TMS facilities available. The lecturer in behavioural or cognitive neuroscience in particular is anticipated to be heavily involved in developing research at this new facility although the facilities will be available to all. Links to the adverts are given below.
