postdoc position in computational modeling - reading acquisition

[Stephane Dufau]

Computational modeling in the south of France

A two year postdoctoral position is open at the Laboratoire de Psychologie
Cognitive, a CNRS lab at the University of Provence, Marseille, France
(http://www.up.univmrs.fr/wlpc).

The person hired on this position will participate in a largescale project
on modeling reading acquisition, and will be specifically involved in
developing and testing both supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms
applied to the development of orthographic representations and spellingsound
correspondences during the process of learning to read. The ideal candidate
will have appropriate programming skills (C, Matlab) and experience in
developing neural network simulations of cognitive processes, with a Ph.D in
cognitive science or cognitive psychology.
