We are seeking an outstanding researcher with expertise in computational or mathematical psychology to join the Complex Human Data Hub and contribute to the school’s research and teaching program. The CHDH has areas of strength in memory, perception, categorization, decision-making, language, cultural evolution, and social network analysis. We welcome applicants from all areas of mathematical psychology, computational cognitive science, computational behavioural science and computational social science and are especially interested in applicants who can build upon or complement our existing strengths. We particularly encourage applicants whose theoretical approaches and methodologies connect with social network processes and/or culture and cognition, or whose work links individual psychological processes to broader societal processes. We especially encourage women and other minorities to apply.

The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the Universities of Stuttgart and Tübingen collaborate to offer an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS). This doctoral program will accept its eighth generation of Ph.D. students in spring of 2024. This school is a key element of Baden-Württemberg’s Cyber Valley initiative to accelerate basic research and commercial development in artificial intelligence and robotics. We seek students who want to earn a doctorate while contributing to world-leading research in areas such as: Biomedical Technology, Computational Cognitive Science, Computer Vision and Graphics, Control Systems and Optimization, Data Science, Haptics and Human-Computer Interaction, Machine Learning, Micro- and Nano-Robotics, Neuroscience, Perceptual Inference, Robotics and Human-Robot Interaction, Soft Robotics and Materials.

The Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation (ILCC) at the University of Edinburgh invites applications for three-year PhD studentships starting in September 2024. ILCC is dedicated to the pursuit of basic and applied research on computational approaches to language, communication and cognition. Primary research areas include: Natural language processing and computational linguistics, Machine Translation, Speech technology, Dialogue, multimodal interaction, language and vision, Computational Cognitive Science, including language and speech, decision-making, learning and generalization, Social Media and Computational Social Science, Human-Computer interaction, design informatics, assistive and educational technology, Information retrieval and visualization. Approximately 10 studentships from a variety of sources are available, covering both maintenance at the research council rate of GBP 19,162 (2024/25 rates) per year and tuition fees. Awards increase every year, typically with inflation. Studentships are available for UK, EU, and non-EU nationals.

The Department of Computer Science invites applications for a postdoctoral or more senior research position in Computational Cognitive Science, under the direction of Tom Griffiths. The position requires a Ph.D. and is focused on using mathematical, computational, and behavioral methods to understand the nature of intelligence. Specific research areas of interest include applications of large language models in cognitive science and use of Bayesian methods and metalearning to understand human cognition and AI systems.

The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the Universities of Stuttgart and Tübingen collaborate to offer an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program, the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS). This doctoral program will accept its ninth generation of Ph.D. students in spring of 2025. We anticipate hiring over 60 doctoral researchers this recruitment round. We seek students who want to earn a doctorate while contributing to world-leading research in areas such as biomedical technology, computational cognitive science, computer vision, control systems and optimization, data science, haptics and human-computer interaction, machine learning, micro- and nano-robotics, neuroscience, perceptual inference, robotics and human-robot interaction, soft robotics, and other related fields. Admitted Ph.D. students can join our program in spring (or later) of 2025. You will be mentored by our internationally renowned faculty. You will conduct your research in either Stuttgart or Tübingen, Germany. IMPRS-IS offers a wide variety of scientific seminars, workshops, and social activities. All aspects of our program are in English. Your doctoral degree will be conferred when you successfully complete your Ph.D. project. Our dedicated staff members will assist you throughout your time as a doctoral student.
