Connectionists: [jobs] Postdoc Position in Cognitive Computational Neuroscience at TU Dresden

[Kiebel, Stefan]

Dear colleagues,

We are hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Chair of Cognitive Computational Neuroscience, TU Dresden (Germany). The position is part of a DFG-funded project on neurocomputational mechanisms of decision-making through forward planning and state abstraction.

Project highlights:

  *   Modeling human learning and decision-making using probabilistic approaches
  *   Analyzing behavioral and fMRI data
  *   Collaborative work with experimentalists and theorists
  *   Opportunity to design and run experiments

We’re looking for:

  *   A strong background in physics, computer science, mathematics, or related fields
  *   Programming skills in Python
  *   Interest in cognitive neuroscience and modeling
  *   Experience with probabilistic programming (PyMC, Stan, Pyro) is a plus

🗓️ Start date: July 1, 2025 (or soon after)
📅 Application deadline: April 30, 2025
📍 Location: TU Dresden, Germany
💼 Duration: Until Oct 2027, with extension possible

This is a great opportunity for quantitatively strong researchers interested in cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience. Even applicants with limited neuroscience background are encouraged to apply if they have strong modeling skills.
