Two Full/Part Time Research Assistant Positions in:
---------------------------------------------------
COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY / NEURAL NETWORK MODELING
at
Rutgers University
Center for Molecular & Behavioral Neuroscience
195 University Avenue
Newark, NJ 07102
Two research positions are available for persons interested
in pursuing empirical and/or theoretical research in the
in cognitive and neural sciences.
The positions are ideal for someone who has just graduated with
an undergraduate degree and would like a year or two of "hands on"
experience in research before applying to graduate school in
one of the cognitive sciences (e.g., neuroscience, psychology,
computer science).
We are looking for two people:
1. RESEARCH PROGRAMMER:
A person with strong programming skills to work in the
development of computational theories of the neural & cognitive bases
of learning. Familiarity with current PDP/neural-network algorithms and
research would be helpful, as would experience with C/Unix and Sun
computer systems. Work would either focus on the development of
network models of human learning and/or biological-circuit models of the
neural bases of animal learning.
2. EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ASSISTANT:
A person with experience in running and designing human cognitive
psychology experiments to work in the design, execution, and data
analysis of behavioral studies of human categorization learning.
