Two postdoctoral positions are immediately available in Dr. Yu's Computational & Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at University of California San Diego. Initial appointment is for one year, renewable for up to 2-3 years. One position is primarily in computational modeling of human learning and decision making. A second position is primarily at the intersection of AI/ML and natural intelligence, with the goal of extracting representational and computational principles that support intelligent behavior. Other possible topics include computational modeling of perception, face processing, active learning/sensing, economic decision making, and social cognition.
Dr. Yu’s lab applies modern machine learning and statistical tools to extract information processing principles that enable intelligent behavior, in particular how humans and other intelligent systems perform inference, learning, decision-making, and social interactions under conditions of uncertainty and non-stationarity.
Applicants should be committed to applying rigorous mathematical tools to model cognitive functions and/or their neural underpinnings. Experience or interest in carrying out human behavioral experiments (either in person or on Amazon M-Turk) and/or collaborating with other neuroimaging/neurophysiology laboratories is desirable.
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, along with a CV including publications, to Dr. Angela Yu (ajyu(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:ajyu@ucsd.edu>) with the subject “Postdoc Application”. The research statement should indicate which postdoc position the candidate is applying for, as well as how the candidate fits into Dr. Yu’s group. Two or more letters of references should be sent directly by the recommenders to ajyu(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:ajyu@ucsd.edu>. More information about Dr. Yu’s group can be found at https://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu <https://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu> .

Dear Colleagues,
The annual meeting of the Society for Affective Science (SAS) will be held in an all-virtual format between March 30 - April 2, 2022.
On behalf of the SAS membership and outreach committee, we encourage you and your trainees to attend. SAS is an excellent venue for learning about what’s new in affective science and presenting research. The interdisciplinary nature of the program is uniquely beneficial.
Below are exciting highlights of the upcoming meeting and opportunities for you and your trainees to submit abstracts for a virtual presentation. We invite submissions of your research and ideas.
I hope you will join us at the 2022 SAS virtual meeting!
All the best,
Tony

The Society for Affective Science (SAS) is delighted to announce its call for abstracts to be considered for the 2022 Annual Conference, held in an all-virtual format between March 30th – April 2nd, 2022. This year’s extended format aims to facilitate international participation and account for schedule adjustments due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. Already confirmed speakers include Lisa Feldman Barrett, Wendy Berry Mendes, Batja Mesquita, Desmond Ong, and Amitai Shenhav.
Advancing Interdisciplinary Science
In line with our goal to facilitate interdisciplinarity, we welcome submissions from across the domain of affective science including anthropology, business, computer science, cultural studies, economics, education, geography, history, integrative medicine, law, linguistics, literature, neuroscience, philosophy, political science, psychiatry, psychology, public health, sociology, theater, and more.
Abstract Submissions
IMPORTANT: Abstracts are changing this year!
All single presenter submissions (posters and flash talks, described below) will require a 1600-character abstract for evaluation and a brief 400-character summary for the conference program.
Symposia submissions (described below) will require individual 1600-character abstracts of each talk for evaluation and brief 400-character summaries for the conference program, as well as a single symposium overview abstract of 1600-characters for evaluation and a brief 400-character summary of the session.
Note: All character counts include spaces and are indicate the maximum length. Detailed abstract submission instructions will be posted to the website <https://society-for-affective-science.org/conferences/2022-sas-annual-confe…>.
Authors of highly-ranked submissions may be invited to submit an optional extended abstract, to be considered for publication in a supplement of our journal Affective Science. IMPORTANT: This does NOT preclude the work from being submitted/published as a full paper in anotherany scientific outlet.
FOUR submission types:
Poster: New Idea - Showcasing a new research idea, complete with planned experimental designs and analysis approach(es). Data are not required, but pilot data for proof of concept are welcome. Work already pre-registered in another platform is admissible. New theoretical contributions are also welcome in this category.
Poster: New Results - Showcasing the latest new findings in affective science based on quantitative and/or qualitative data collected and analyzed. We welcome and encourage preliminary work!
Thematic Flash Talk - Showcasing the latest findings based on quantitative and/or qualitative data already collected and analyzed or new theoretical contributions in affective science.
Symposium - Set of talks providing an in-depth perspective on individual research areas/topics within affective science. Sessions can be comprised of 3 talks with a discussant or 4 talks without a discussant. All symposia must be chaired. Symposia will be part of SAS for the first time in 2022!
No fee to submit an abstract. The fee structure for conference registration will be announced on the website <https://society-for-affective-science.org/conferences/2022-sas-annual-confe…> by mid-October 2021.
We encourage submissions from authors at all career stages.
Submission Deadline
Abstracts must be submitted by Monday, November 22nd, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. Baker Island Time (BIT; UTC-12 — last time zone on earth) to be considered for inclusion in the program.
Submission Review Process
Abstracts will be evaluated based on scholarly merit by a double-blind peer review process with our Abstract Review Board. Notification of acceptance or rejection of abstracts will be e-mailed to the corresponding author by the end of January 2022. Presenters must be the corresponding author on the submitted abstract. All presenters must register and pay to attend the meeting.
Conference Awards
Poster and Flash Talk abstracts with trainees (i.e., postdoctoral fellow, graduate student, post-baccalaureate, undergraduate student) as the presenting author will be considered for an award, which will be announced at the conference during the closing ceremony.
Questions?
For abstract submissions, please contact the Abstracts Committee Communications Lead, Katherine Aumer at kaumer(a)hawaii.edu <mailto:kaumer@hawaii.edu>. For any other SAS 2022 conference related questions, please contact the Program Co-Chairs, Stephanie Carpenter at smcarpen(a)umich.edu <mailto:smcarpen@umich.edu> and Maria Gendron at maria.gendron(a)yale.edu <mailto:maria.gendron@yale.edu>.

Dear Colleagues,
We are conducting a meta-analysis on the body inversion effect, which reflects the difference in recognition between upright and inverted body stimuli. Our goal is to provide a summary of this effect, including the magnitude and moderating factors that influence the effect.We are seeking unpublished data from studies that meet the following criteria:
1. Neurotypical participants completed a visual body perception/recognition task that include upright and inverted conditions.
2. Body stimuli are human bodies (either computer generated or real images)
3. Outcome measures of perception/recognition were collected for both upright and inverted conditions. These may include behavioral accuracy (% correct, hit rate), electrophysiological data (e.g., N170 signal), or neuroimaging data.
If you have data that fit these criteria and you would like to share your data to be included in our synthesis, please contact Flora Oswald (feo5020(a)psu.edu<mailto:feo5020@psu.edu>) by October 18, 2021.
Thank you and best wishes,
Flora Oswald
