Connectionists: Postdoc Position at Computational Cognitive Neuroscience & Psychiatry Lab

[Yuqing Lei]

Postdoctoral Fellow
Department of Psychology
University of Maryland, College Park

The Computational Cognitive Neuroscience & Psychiatry Lab (
http://solwaylab.org/) is hiring a postdoctoral fellow with experience and
interest in computational modeling of behavior and neuroimaging to start in
Fall 2019/Spring 2020. Successful candidates will have at minimum:

   - Received a Ph.D. prior to the start date, completing their defense and
   all other degree requirements.
   - Strong leadership, management, and communication skills (both written
   and oral).
   - Established expertise in computational modeling of behavior and
   experimental design.
   - Experience with at least one neuroimaging modality (EEG, fMRI,
   invasive recordings in patients).
   - A strong publication record in cognitive/computational neuroscience
   and/or psychology.
   - Experience or an interest in using computational approaches to ask
   questions related to information processing differences in psychiatric
   disorders.

The department where you receive your Ph.D. does not matter so long as you
have worked on projects and published papers related to the type of work we
do. This position requires you to take a leadership role from day one,
helping to manage junior trainees and set the direction of the lab.

The University of Maryland, College Park is located five miles from
Washington, D.C. and is metro accessible, with access to world class
museums, restaurants, and entertainment. We are close to three large
international airports, have access to other destinations on the eastern
seaboard and beyond via Amtrak, and are a short drive away from beautiful
landscapes and mountains in rural Maryland and Virginia.

To apply, e-mail your CV, a cover letter, any pre-prints (to be handled in
confidence), and a list of references to Dr. Alec Solway (asolway at umd.edu).
Be sure these documents address how your experience and skill set meet the
above requirements. Also, briefly describe your long term goals and how you
think a postdoctoral fellowship in the lab will help you achieve them.
