[FieldTrip] Postdoctoral position in Computational Cognitive Science London (UK)

[Lei Zhang]

(apologize for cross-posting)

Applications are invited for a Wellcome Trust funded Research Fellow in the
Department of Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK. Please
follow this link
<https://jobs.royalholloway.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=0224-053> to apply by
29-Feb-2024.

The position is formally within the SoCCR Lab (Social Computation and
Cognitive Representation Lab <https://joebarnby.com/>) directed by Dr.
Joseph M Barnby, which develops and tests computational and formal theories
of social interaction in health and disorder. The fellow will also be
working closely with the three Co-Is: Drs Alex Pike
<https://www.york.ac.uk/psychology/staff/academicstaff/pike,-alex/> and
Catia Oliveira (University of York) and Dr Lei Zhang
<https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/psychology/zhang-lei>
(University of Birmingham).

The post holder will be a member of this lab with responsibility for the
provision of computational support for a Wellcome Trust-funded project,
“Hypatia: Health Modelling Made Simple”. The position offers an exciting
opportunity to develop and use state-of-the-art methods to build a free
browser-based solution to allow simulation and fitting of common
computational models, with the final milestone of 12 months to have a
working beta version. The role will primarily involve software
engineering/programming the Hypatia site, retaining a core knowledge of
computational modelling as it relates to health care, neuroscience, and
psychology, and liaising with project consultants to develop the UX/UI,
backend support, and aesthetics of the platform. There is significant
opportunity for skill development, including gaining experience of industry
liaison, translational neuroscience, and computational modelling expertise.

The project team will consist of a dedicated postdoctoral researcher and
research assistant. The team will also present to and be guided by an
advisory board, which includes Prof. Peter Dayan (Tuebingen), Dr Emma
Černis (University of Birmingham), Dr Rick Adams (UCL), Prof Eric-Jan
Wagenmakers (Amsterdam; JASP team), and Dr Jenny Murphy (Royal Holloway).
