Fwd: Postdoctoral position available at Princeton University
by Gary Green 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

FYI ---------------------------- 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.

fyi ----------------------------------- 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, Duncan *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.
