We have an opportunity for a motivated postdoc to join the Learning, Memory, and Decision Lab at the Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry & Ageing Research (https://lmdlab.github.io/). The position is funded by the UK MRC for neuroimaging research in the area of memory and goal-directed decision making.
Expertise in neuroimaging of memory *or* decision-making is desirable.
For brief information, see ex-Twitter: https://x.com/gelliott_wimmer/status/1717562876368408820 (or Bluesky: @elliottwimmer.bsky.social)
The aim of the project is to better understand the role of memory in goal-directed decision-making. The postdoc would be designing and conducting neuroimaging experiments investigating the role of memory reactivation and replay using multivariate neuroimaging approaches to MEG data.
Using a transdiagnostic approach, the fellow can also investigate the influence of mood and depression on decision-making. We investigate these questions using large-scale online experiments and in-lab behavioral studies.
UCL job posting link will be available here after it is online: https://lmdlab.github.io/
Informal inquiries are welcome. Prior to submitting an application, please submit a current CV including publication list and a brief statement describing your experience and interests to Dr Elliott Wimmer ([log in to unmask]). Review is rolling, and the position will be available until filled.
