Candidates have opportunities for research combining cognitive and neural modeling with new data from human behavioral experiments and existing data from monkey neurophysiological experiments. The project aims to link cognitive models of perceptual decision making, categorization, search, and control with neural measures and neural models. See the CatLab web site (<a href="http://catlab.psy.vanderbilt.edu/" class="">catlab.psy.vanderbilt.edu</a>) for descriptions of projects and links to recent publications. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Research facilities include computer workstations and servers, laboratory behavioral testing stations, eye trackers, and a shared 6000-core / 500TB compute cluster at Vanderbilt’s ACCRE. Postdoctoral fellows will also take advantage of the facilities and support provided by the Department of Psychology (<a href="http://www.vanderbilt.edu/psychological_sciences/" class="">www.vanderbilt.edu/psychological_sciences/</a>), the Vanderbilt Vision Research Center (<a href="http://my.vanderbilt.edu/vvrc/" class="">my.vanderbilt.edu/vvrc/</a>), and the Center for Integrative and Cognitive Neuroscience (<a href="http://cicn.vanderbilt.edu/" class="">cicn.vanderbilt.edu</a>).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Candidates can hold a Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering, or related disciplines. Candidates should have demonstrated skills in computer programming and statistical analyses; some background in computational modeling is strongly desired. Start date is negotiable, but preference will be given to candidates who can begin sometime within the next six months. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis as they arrive. Salary will be based on the NIH postdoctoral scale. Applicants should send a cover letter with a brief research statement, a CV, and names and email addresses of three references to <a href="mailto:thomas.j.palmeri@vanderbilt.edu" class="">thomas.j.palmeri@vanderbilt.edu</a>.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thomas Palmeri</div><div class="">Department of Psychology</div><div class="">Vanderbilt Vision Research Center</div><div class="">Vanderbilt University</div><div class="">Nashville, TN 37240</div><div class=""><a href="mailto:thomas.j.palmeri@vanderbilt.edu" class="">thomas.j.palmeri@vanderbilt.edu</a> <br class=""><a href="http://catlab.psy.vanderbilt.edu/" class="">catlab.psy.vanderbilt.edu</a></div></body></html>
