Cognitive and Computational Neuroscientist

Postdoctoral position to understand the function of long range
connectivity in human cognition

We are seeking a new colleague to work on a collaborative project
studying human cognition between the laboratories of Professor Linda
Richards<https://neuroscience.wustl.edu/people/linda-richards-phd/> at
Washington University in St. Louis and Professor Peter
Dayan<https://www.mpg.de/12309370/biological-cybernetics-dayan> at Max
Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tubingen. The position
will be based at Washington University in St. Louis.

We are studying how people with corpus callosum dysgenesis, a major
change in their global brain wiring connectivity, are able to process
and integrate information during tasks involving decision making, social
intelligence and memory.

We are seeking a creative scientist with a background in cognitive
neuroscience and computational neuroscience to develop analysis tools
and pipelines and new models of cognitive function that will help guide
our experimental approaches.

Applicants should submit their CV and a cover letter explaining their
background and interest in the position and working in both laboratories
by April 4th, 2022. Please see job
