Dear All, The Department of Cognitive Science at Central European University announces an opening for postdoctoral fellows for one year (extendable), starting no later than September 2017, to work on a project in computational cognitive science. The aim of the project is to track changes in human subjects' structured, task-general internal models over time as a result of decay, interference, and learning. For this, a set of novel 'doubly Bayesian' data analytical methods will need to be developed, using state-of-the-art Bayesian statistical and machine learning techniques which can be used to infer humans' internal models formalised as prior distributions in Bayesian models of cognition. The project will also involve a set of stringent, quantifiable criteria which will be systematically applied at each step of the work to rigorously assess the success of the approach. These analyses will be applied to a variety of experimental data sets, collected by our collaborators, in paradigms ranging from perceptual learning, through visual and motor structure learning, to social and concept learning. Position for: Faculty Detailed Job Ad is available here: https://hro.ceu.edu/vacancies/postdoctoral-research-position-in-computation… We very much appreciate if you could spread this news to your colleagues, collaborators and PhD students. Thank you!
