Applicants should have an interest in language as a culturally transmitted replicator (sensu Pagel, 2009, Nat. Reviews Genetics) and a genuine desire to use data to investigate models that describe how languages evolve. Although not essential requirements, preference will be given to candidates with a background in quantitative approaches to studying evolution or those with a facility with computers and computer modelling. Positions are for two years in the first instance with a possibility of extension to up to two more. The main responsibilities are to gather and analyse linguistic data, conduct statistical analyses, write research papers and make presentations at conferences. > > You will have: > > A PhD in a relevant discipline > > The ability to conduct statistical analyses > Some facility with computers > Some experience with research, writing research papers, giving conference presentations > Flexibilty, tolerance for ambiguity in data, creative, imaginative, self-motivated, looking for a career in research > The position provides excellent training for a career in research. > > Informal contact details > > Contact name: Mark Pagel phone: +44 (0)118 378 8900 email: m.pagel(a)reading.ac.uk > > Formal contact details > > To formally apply please visit www.reading.ac.uk/Jobs or contact Human Resources, University of Reading, Whiteknights, PO Box 217, Reading RG6 6AH.

One of the most important questions in neuroscience concerns the origin of this variability. In many models, it is attributed to noise within the brain, often in the form of independent Poisson variability in spike trains, or variations thereof. Here, we show that suboptimal inference caused by the deterministic approximations of the statistical structure of the sensory inputs provides another major cause of variability. Importantly, we argue that in most tasks of interest, and particularly complex ones, this cause of variability is likely to be the dominant component of behavioral variability. This perspective explains a variety of intriguing observations, including why variability appears to be larger on the sensory than on the motor side, and why our sensors are sometimes surprisingly unreliable.
