Dear Moderator, in my first submission there was a typo in the header of the email (see below). It should say: Computational *Psychology* and not Computational *Psychiatry*. Can you send the job announcement with the correct header? I am very sorry for the hassle! All the best Klaus Obermayer -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: PhD position in computational psychiatry / computational neuroscience Datum: Thu, 21 Dec 2023 12:55:28 +0100 Von: Klaus Obermayer <klaus.obermayer@tu-berlin.de> An: comp-neuro@lists.cnsorg.org Kopie (CC): Obermayer, Klaus, Prof. Dr. <klaus.obermayer@tu-berlin.de> * * *Neural Information Processing Group @ Technische Universität Berlin (Berlin, Germany))* Faculty IV - Institute of Software Engineering and Theoretical Computer Science *PhD Position in Computational **Psychology**(salary level TV-L E13 100%)* *Visual Information Sampling Using Eye-movements and Overt Attention in Dynamic Scenes*** *Reference number:*IV-790/23 (starting date: May 1st, 2024/ for up to threeyears / closing date for applications for full consideration: January 18th, 2024 / applications will be accepted until the position is filled). *Working field:*This position is part of an interdisciplinary project between psychology, computational neuroscience, and computervision. The successful candidate will conduct model-based data analyses of human behavioral and eye-tracking data andwill perform the computational modelling of eye-movement patterns with help of the ScanDy saccade predictionframework(cf. Roth N., Rolfs M., Hellwich O., and Obermayer K. (2023), Objects Guide Human Gaze Behavior in Dynamic Real-World Scenes, PLoS Comput. Biol. 19, e1011512). Investigations will address the relationship between task, gaze behavior, and scene memorization wheninspecting dynamic scenes andthemechanisms and functional consequences of inter-individual differences inhuman visual sampling strategies. The candidate is supposed to join the PhD program of the Cluster of Excellence “Science of Intelligence” (https://www.scienceofintelligence.de/, specifically projects PJ 01 and PJ 57) which this position is part of. Information about our research group can also be found at https://www.tu.berlin/en/ni. *Requirements:*Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) in Computational Neuroscience, ComputerScience, Physics, Mathematics, or related fields. Applicants should have very good programming skills, a very good command of the Englishlanguage, a solid mathematicalbackground, competence in machine learning, and a strong interest in visual perception. Working experience in the fieldof computational neuroscience and an additional background in psychology and / or neuroscience is an advantage. Please send your application with the usual documents only by e-mail to Prof. Dr. Obermayer at*klaus.obermayer@tu-berlin.de*, quoting the *reference number*.
