Two postdoc positions with Prof. Angela Yu
by Angela Yu 22 Oct '21

22 Oct '21

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> . -------------------------------------------- Angela Yu Associate Professor Dept. of Cognitive Science & Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute UC San Diego 858-822-3317 http://www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/~ajyu ---------------------------------------------

Call for Unpublished Data on Human Visual Body Perception
by Oswald, Flora Everest 03 Oct '21

03 Oct '21

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 Flora Oswald, M.S (she/her) SSHRC Doctoral Fellow Underrepresented Perspectives Lab<https://jmatsick.wixsite.com/uplab>, Social Vision & Interpersonal Perception Lab<https://sites.google.com/site/socialviplab/> Departments of Psychology & Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies The Pennsylvania State University
