Dear all,

I am happy to announce that I will start as a junior professor and Emmy Noether awardee at the University of Göttingen (Germany) this October.

I am recruiting several fully funded PhD students and postdocs to work at the intersection of cognitive science, computational neuroscience, and machine learning. For this hiring round, I am particularly interested in candidates who want to help us build a unified science of control in humans and machines. Projects may involve behavioral experiments, computational modeling, machine learning theory, or algorithm design.

The positions are:

* Fully funded at 100% TV-L E13

* Flexible in their start date, preferably before February 2027

* Open for applications on a rolling basis, with the first review round on September 15, 2026

We welcome candidates from cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, computer science, mathematics, physics, electrical or computer engineering, and related fields.
