From: Julia Verhoef [j.verhoef at donders.ru.nl]
Subject: Cognitive Science: Post Doc, Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging, Gelderland, Netherlands

 University or Organization: Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging 
Job Location: Gelderland, Netherlands 
Web Address: https://www.languageininteraction.nl/
Job Title: Theory and computational modelling of perceptual inference in language & action planning
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science 


Description:

This sub-project functions within BQ5 to develop a formal theory and implement
in a computational model with the goal of understanding the neural
transformations that underlie structure generation in language and in action
planning. A strong emphasis will be placed on operationalizing and formalizing
the research questions of BQ5 into an overarching theoretical framework. In
addition to your designing and implementing computational models to run your
own simulations, you will also have the opportunity to collaborate with other
members of the highly interdisciplinary Big Question 5 team and quite closely
with the electrophysiology sub-project 2 of BQ5.

Requirements: 
- You are a creative and academically well-trained individual as evidenced by
high-quality publications in top-ranked scientific journals. 
- You should have obtained or are close to obtaining a PhD degree (or
equivalent) in cognitive science, computer science, formal linguistics,
mathematics, mathematical psychology, or computational cognitive neuroscience.
- A strong background in logic and rhetoric, and in theoretical work, is
necessary.0
- Experience with contemporary and traditional neural network modelling is
highly desirable. 
- Good programming skills (e.g., C, Python), and prior experience with
computational modelling or formal models is required. 
- You should have active interest in complex human cognitive functions, such
as language, conceptual reasoning, artificial intelligence, computational
cognitive neuroscience, and in bridging experimental and theoretical
approaches via formalization. 
- Previous experience with multidisciplinary research is desirable and a
collaborative, open attitude with well-developed communication skills and a
team-science interdisciplinary spirit are necessary.

Applications from excellent candidates with a less than ideal profile will be
equally considered.

Embedding and Terms of employment: 
This position will be held at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and
Behaviour, Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging, Radboud University, Nijmegen,
The Netherlands. The position will be embedded in, and enriched by contact
with, the research groups of Andrea Martin and Iris van Rooij.
