[Comp-neuro] Postdoctoral position in computational modeling/fMRI - Ghent University

A postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Will Alexander at
Ghent University, Belgium. The position is part of a 5 year project
investigating reinforcement learning and cognitive control, funded
through the FWO-Flanders.

The ideal candidate will have experience and interests in one or more of
the following areas: 1) computational neural modeling, 2) fMRI, 3)
cognitive control and 4) reinforcement learning. Individuals with
experience in applying computational models to the analysis of fMRI data
are especially encouraged to apply. Experience with Matlab is a plus.

Depending on background and interests, the successful candidate will
have the opportunity to develop computational neural models of cognitive
control and decision making, as well as to contribute to the design,
execution, and analysis of behavioral and fMRI experiments intended to
