PhD Candidate in Decision-Making / Computational Psychiatry

 

Apply before: May 15, 2019
Institute:
Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Job specification:

    • We invite applications for a fully funded 4-year PhD student in the field of cognitive/affective neuroscience. This position is embedded in the Learning & Decision lab (PI: Hanneke den Ouden) at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, as part of the Vidi project “Getting things done: Unravelling the neurocognitive mechanisms of adaptive decision-making”

    • The overarching aim of our research is to 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 work within the learning and decision-making lab at the Donders Centre for Cognition. We are a small and growing research group that emphasises close collaboration and a friendly atmosphere, strongly embedded within a larger decision-making and cognitive control research community.
