Connectionists: [Postdoc Position]: Neuro-cognitive computational modeling of learning and decision making

[Mark A. Gluck]

[Please post or forward to potential candidates]

Postdoctoral position available at Rutgers University-Newark for a postdoctoral fellow with strong prior computational modeling and computer programming skills to work on neural-network models of the brain systems for learning and decision making.

   ** Applicants must be US Citizens or Green Card holders.  **

We seek a postdoctoral fellow in our lab who has:

* Prior experience and training in neural network modeling, especially computational neuroscience modeling of brain and behavior.

* Strong computer  programming skills.

* Familiarity with the literature on systems-level and cognitive neuroscience research on human learning, memory, and decision making. Modeling will focus on integration of systems-level and physiology-level models of cortex, basal ganglia, hippocampus, and other brain structures.  Emphasis will be on liking brain function to behavior, especially higher-level cognitive functioning in humans.

* Excellent people skills, self-motivation, first-rate English-language verbal and written communication skills.

* Able to start work by summer (preferred) or fall 2010.
