Several postdoctoral positions are currently available in the Princeton
Neuroscience Institute at Princeton University.
These positions are part of a multi-year research project using fMRI and
EEG to study the mechanisms of cognitive control in humans performing
high level cognitive tasks. The project is being led by a team of
Princeton faculty, including Jonathan Cohen, Matthew Botvinick, Yael
Niv, and Kenneth Norman. Specific topics of interest include
self-control over impulsive behavior, hierarchical reinforcement
learning of goals and subgoals, prospective memory and planning,
decision making under uncertainty and ambiguity, and the explore/exploit
tradeoff. The work will draw heavily on formal theoretical modeling,
including optimality analysis and neural network simulation, as well as
empirical studies. In addition, new brain imaging methods will be
developed to measure internal control representations, employing
model-based multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA), whole-brain
correlational data, and real-time fMRI feedback using online MVPA.
Appointments are for one year with possibility for renewal pending
satisfactory performance.
REQUIREMENTS: Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, or closely related
field; a strong background in one or more of the following is preferred:
fMRI, EEG, computational/mathematical modeling of psychological and/or
neural function. Candidates must be able to pass a standard MR safety
screening in order to work in the MR environment.
To apply, please visit the website https://jobs.princeton.edu
<https://jobs.princeton.edu/> (requisition 1200495) to create an online
application. Applications should include a cover letter, a CV, and
contact information for at least two letters of reference.

I would be really grateful if you could forward this on to any you know
in your labs who have recently finished or are nearing the end of their
doctoral studies. The add should officially go ‘live’ next week, and the
closing date is the 17^th of September (I think). Do suggest that they
get in touch if they are interested.
Many thanks,

*MRC CBSU Cambridge, UK*
*Career Development Fellow (Postdoctoral position)*
* *
The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (CBSU) is an internationally
renowned research institute with state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience
facilities, including a research dedicated 3T Siemens Trio MRI scanner
and 306-channel Elekta Neuromag MEG system.
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position to work within a
research programme exploring developmental changes in brain connectivity
in childhood (typically between 6 and 11 years of age) and how they
relate to aspects of cognitive development. The children involved in the
programme are either typically developing or have a significant working
memory or attention deficit. The research will use
Magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate changes in neural
connectivity as children perform various cognitive control tasks.
You will have, or be in the final stages of completing, a PhD in
Cognitive Neuroscience or a related field (including certain aspects of
Engineering or Physics). Training in MEG will be provided, but both
experience involving the use of neuroimaging methods (MRI, fMRI, EEG,
MEG) with human participants and a strong interest in the neural basis
of cognitive mechanisms are essential. Experience in using Matlab to
process and manipulate data is desirable. Experience or enthusiasm for
working with children as research participants is essential.
This is a three year training and development postdoctoral position. The
starting salary will be in the range of £26,022 - £31,758 per annum,
depending upon qualifications and experience. We offer a flexible pay
and reward policy, 30 days annual leave entitlement, and an optional MRC
final salary Pension Scheme. On site car and bicycle parking is available.
