Cognitive Psychology jobs

Develop and analyse an integrate-and-fire neural-network model of visual perception using the LAMINART framework. The project studies multiple-object tracking, object segmentation and how model dynamics explain experimental behaviour. The appointment lasts up to 36 months in the Research Unit of Health and Cognitive Psychology at the Esbjerg campus, with…

PhD project in Prof. Karin Roelofs's Affective Neuroscience group, funded by the ERC Advanced Grant HEART2ADAPT, which studies how the body's autonomic stress state shapes approach–avoidance decisions under threat. The project tests causal mechanisms with transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), including offline TUS and the development of MR-compatible…

This CHEMCONTROL postdoctoral project studies human motivation, value-based decisions and cognitive control through experimental design, intracranial recordings, single-neuron and local-field-potential analyses, and computational behavioural models. The researcher joins Roshan Cools’s group at the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging and collaborates…

Create biologically informed computational models of cognition driven by experimental data, working closely with experimental and clinical researchers. The primary appointment is in Mathematics and Statistics, with potential secondary affiliations across neuroscience and engineering. The successful scholar leads independent research, teaches, mentors…

Develop a human cognitive neuroscience programme using quantitative and computational approaches, supported by knowledge of neuroanatomy and systems neuroscience. The appointment sits in the Brain, Behavior and Cognition programme and is expected to use the Cognitive Neuroimaging Center. The role includes research, teaching, mentoring and collaboration…

The Building Blocks of Cognition Laboratory, headed by Silvia Bunge in the UC Berkeley Department of Psychology, studies the cognitive and neural processes that support reasoning, memory and goal-directed behavior. The postdoctoral scholar works on the National Institute of Mental Health project "Narrowing the mechanistic gap for anterior prefrontal cortex…

This Radiology internship investigates expertise in screening mammography through simulation, eye tracking and psychometric testing, with additional AI projects in breast imaging. Work includes participant recruitment and testing, management and analysis of de-identified data, and scientific writing. The appointment requires at least one year and is on…

Investigate how sleep shapes human perception and cognition using MRI and EEG. The appointment includes development of methods for three-tesla and seven-tesla MRI and multimodal studies of the sleeping brain.

Study how people's cognitive shortcuts and moral judgments influence responses to climate adaptation. The doctoral project applies psychological research methods to environmental decision-making.

The Neuroscience Institute at Carnegie Mellon University is recruiting a tenure-track Assistant Professor working at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, with a substantive connection to neuroscience through data, theory or modelling. Example topics include generative models of brain data, AI-based analysis tools for neural activity…

Investigate how eye movements shape perception with Martina Poletti and Michele Rucci at the University of Rochester. Research spans spatial representations, foveal and peripheral processing, attention, retinal anatomy, emmetropization and myopia. The laboratory combines human psychophysics, controlled retinal stimulation, computational modelling, precise…

Tenure-track faculty appointment beginning in fall 2027. Research should examine neural mechanisms of cognition and behaviour, with particular interest in health-related questions. Responsibilities include a funded research programme, undergraduate and graduate teaching, supervision and service. Facilities include EEG, fNIRS and animal research resources.…

Study how people choose where and when to look and how visual information guides walking and arm movements. Projects use mobile eye tracking, motion capture, virtual reality and potentially natural environments. This position pays CAD 60,000 annually plus benefits for one year, with possible second and third years depending on performance and funding. Start…

Develop computational and robotic models of learning, development and social cognition in Jun Tani’s Cognitive Neurorobotics Research Unit. Topics include recurrent networks, predictive coding, active inference, generalisation during development, executive control and working memory. Duties include model and task design, simulation or robotics experiments,…

A 30% student assistant position supports virtual-reality experiments on embodied learning in physics and mathematics at the Professorship for Learning Sciences and Higher Education. Tasks include preparing VR equipment, running participant sessions according to study protocols, conducting interviews and managing research data. Training is provided, and…
