Connectionists: RA / postdoc / PhD opportunities in computational psychiatry

[Alec Solway]

The Computational Cognitive Neuroscience & Psychiatry Lab (Solway Lab) at
the University of Maryland-College Park is hiring a full time research
assistant and postdoctoral fellow, and is planning to recruit up to two
graduate students in the upcoming application round. More information about
these positions can be found at http://solwaylab.org.

The lab’s research focuses on understanding information processing in human
learning, decision making, and episodic memory, and how it is disrupted in
psychiatric disorders (anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and
depression) – an area recently dubbed *computational psychiatry*. In
carrying out this work, we leverage tools from cognitive neuroscience,
experimental and mathematical psychology, computer science, and statistics.
We work at the intersection of theory and experiment, building
computational models of information processing and testing them using both
behavioral data and noninvasive neuroimaging (fMRI and EEG).
