Job Description

The Department of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen is seeking a highly qualified Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team. As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will be part of the Selection in Cognition project, working closely with Professor Søren Kyllingsbæk and Associate Professor Thor Grünbaum.

We are looking for a researcher with a strong background in mathematical modelling and experience in developing computational models, model selection, and experimental paradigms. Your primary responsibility will be to contribute to the development of new theories of cognitive selection mechanisms by combining methods and perspectives from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, mathematical modelling, and philosophy.

You will work in close collaboration with cognitive psychologists and philosophers, other cognitive scientists, and should be interested in the development of new computational models, experimental paradigms, and theories. The successful candidate will be physically located at the Cognition and Neuropsychology research cluster at the Department of Psychology, University of Copenhagen.

Responsibilities
  • Develop computational models of cognition and selection mechanisms
  • Contribute to the design and implementation of experiments to test these models
  • Collaborate with the research team to develop new theories and approaches

About the Project

The Selection in Cognition project aims to develop and test a new theory of basic cognitive selection mechanisms. This project combines methods and perspectives from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, mathematical modelling, and philosophy to better understand how we select information and make decisions. As a Postdoctoral Researcher on this project, you will have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research and collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of researchers.
