[visionlist] Postdoctoral Fellowship on social learning in Collective Decision-making

[Bahador Bahrami]

Job Description:

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at the
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London. The postdoc
will be jointly supervised by Bahador Bahrami (Institute of Cognitive
Neuroscience) and Peter Latham (Gatsby Unit). The goal of the project is to
develop and test (via behavioural experiments) computational models of
social learning and collective decision-making. This will build on our
previous work in collective decision-making (Bahrami et al: Science
329:1081-1085, 2010; J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 38:3–8, 2012; Phil
Trans R Soc B 367:1350-1365, 2012), and will form the basis of model-based
fMRI analysis.

Essential:
•PhD in Computer Science or Computational and/or Cognitive Neuroscience, or
very near to obtaining a PhD
•Knowledge or strong interest in computational neuroscience, collective
decision-making, and machine learning
•Strong programming skills in MATLAB or similar languages

Desirable:
•Experience in web-based programming (e.g. Java) for setting up online
experiments with multi-user interactions
•Experience in model-based fMRI data analysis.
