Job Description

Multiple PhD and postdoctoral positions are immediately available in Prof. Angela Yu's research group at TU Darmstadt. The group investigates the intersection of natural and artificial intelligence using mathematically rigorous approaches to understand the representations and computations underlying intelligent behavior. The research particularly addresses challenges of inferential uncertainty and opportunities of volitional control. The group employs diverse methodological tools including Bayesian statistical modeling, control theory, reinforcement learning, and information theory to develop theoretical frameworks explaining key aspects of cognition: perception, attention, decision-making, learning, cognitive control, active sensing, economic behavior, and social interactions.

Requirements

  • Interested candidates should email their CV
  • undergraduate and master's transcripts (unofficial versions acceptable)
  • contact information for 2-4 references
  • and a research statement explaining specifically why they and Prof. Yu's research group would be a good mutual fit. English fluency is required
  • German proficiency is not necessary.
