Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to study 
neuroeconomics, decision making, motivation and reward processing using 
model-based fMRI in healthy subjects and intra-cranial recordings in 
patients with epilepsy. The Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience is 
located in Lyon, a thriving university city. The institute hosts an 
interdisciplinary community with access to several brain imaging 
facilities, such as one research-dedicated Siemens scanner, one MEG, one 
simultaneous TEP-fMRI, EEG, TMS and other useful resources. The current 
project seeks a better understanding of the neurocomputational basis of 
social decision-making in humans. We will adopt a combination of 
interdisciplinary perspective, combining Bayesian models and behavioural 
experiments in humans to investigate the mechanisms of decision making 
processes in social context. Our main hypothesis is that when we are in 
an interactive social setting, our brain performs Bayesian inferences 
using probabilistic representations of other individuals’ intentions and 
cooperativeness. The project will be supervised by Dr. Jean-Claude 
Dreher. Funding is available for an initial period of 2 years, up to 3 
years. Candidates, preferably with model-based fMRI experience and 
familiarity with computational models such as Bayesian inference and 
POMDP, should send their CV, statement of research interests and 
representative publications to: Jean-Claude Dreher, dreher at isc.cnrs.fr
