[Todd Braver]

Postdoctoral position at Washington University, St. Louis


Seeking post-doctoral fellow to contribute to studies of the 
computational and neural mechanisms of cognitive control.  The lab 
integrates neuroscience-based computational modeling with experimental 
cognitive neuroscience research (e.g., functional brain imaging using 
fMRI).    Current projects involve models of:  anterior cingulate 
cortex function in conflict detection; dopamine modulation of 
prefrontal cortex in working memory;   mechanisms of cognitive control 
in task-switching;  and neuromodulatory mechanisms of emotion-cognition 
interaction. Strong opportunities are available for researchers 
interested in testing model predictions in human subjects using a 
variety of experimental methods (behavioral, neuropsychological, 
psychopharmacological, neuroimaging). For more information about 
laboratory research and publications, see http://iac.wustl.edu/~ccpweb. 

    Applicants with a strong computational background and a Ph.D. in 
cognitive science, computer science / engineering, or neuroscience are 
encouraged to apply.     The position is available immediately, and 
will be supervised by Dr. Todd Braver at the Department of Psychology 
and Neuroscience Program at Washington University, St. Louis.    
Interested individuals should a statement of research interests and 
background, CV, and letters of recommendation via email to 
tbraver at artsci.wustl.edu,  or via snail mail to:  Dr. Todd Braver, 
Campus Box 1125, Washington University,  St. Louis 63130.
