establish the computational and neuropharmacological mechanisms of human
(mal)adaptive decision-making. The focus of this PhD position will be to
investigate in both healthy and psychiatric populations how disparate decision
systems may act both synergistically and competitively, depending on
environmental demands. You will investigate the neurobiological basis of
decision-making, using a combination of psychopharmacology, experimental
psychology, neuroimaging and computational modeling. There will be a strong
focus on the role of dopamine and/or serotonin and fronto-striatal circuitry.
You will have the following tools at your disposal: fMRI, psychopharmacology
and large-scale web-based behavioural testing, potentially combined with
EEG/MEG and patient research. You will also participate in conceptually
developing the framework for understanding the neurochemistry of the adaptive
mind. </span></span></p>
