Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research post in the Cognitive Neural systems lab (https://cogneusys.com/)
led by Simon Kelly, to study computational and neural mechanisms of
value-biased sensorimotor decision making under time pressure. This
position is part of a project funded by Science Foundation Ireland,
which involves a combination of psychophysics, computational
modelling, non-invasive electrophysiology of human brain and muscle,
and analyses of existing single-cell neurophysiological data. Though
involvement is expected in all of these aspects, the most critical role
of the postdoctoral researcher will be in computational
modelling. Candidates must thus have strong analytic and programming
skills, and specific experience in the computational modelling of
cognitive processes. Candidates must also be highly motivated and have
excellent communication skills.
Dr. Kelly's electrophysiology/psychophysic s lab is situated within
the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in University
College Dublin, Ireland, and has strong collaborative links to cognitive
and clinical neuroscience research groups both
locally (e.g. Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience) and
internationally (e.g. City College and Columbia University in New York).
The successful applicant will have ample opportunities for wider
collaborations and the learning of new skills.
Interested candidates should submit a brief research statement and CV
including publications through the UCD job vacancies site (http://www.ucd.ie/hr/jobvacan cies/ -
search for keyword 'kelly', or job ref 008870). Informal enquiries can be directed to Simon (simon.kelly@ucd.edu).
Candidates should explain in their statement how their
own research interests fit with those of the Kelly lab. The deadline
for submitting applications is Jan 8th 2017, and shortlisting and
interviews will take place shortly after that.
