Columbia University (Manhattan, New York City) is looking for a postdoc / research assistant with background in computational neuroscience or mathematical psychology

Our laboratory at Columbia University (Manhattan, New York City) is looking for a postdoc / research assistant with background in computational neuroscience or mathematical psychology, to help to develop models of attention and conscious perception that are driven by recent novel psychophysics findings in the laboratory. There will also be opportunity to develop experiments to directly test these models. The candidate should be interested in and familiar with some of the following topics, ideally as reflected by first-authored publications:
- perceptual decision making (mathematical models and physiological basis)
- the effects of noise and noise correlations in population coding and perception
- visual attention
- confidence ratings in psychophysical tasks
- peripheral vision
Interested candidates please send along a CV to Hakwan Lau (hakwan@gmail.com)
