Post and pre-doctoral Positions, and Technical Assistant Positions
in Experimental and Computational Psychology
Perceptual Dynamics Laboratory
RIKEN BSI
Several pre and postdoctoral research positions, and technical assistant positions are
available immediately in the newly established Perceptual Dynamics Laboratory (head:
Cees van Leeuwen) at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, Japan. The RIKEN BSI is the
primary government-funded basic research institute in Japan. The working language is
English.
The researchers will be working on interdisciplinary projects relating to perceptual
integration and the perception of visual objects and scenes. Focus of the laboratory is the
application of complex (i.e. nonlinear, nonstationary) dynamical systems to visual
perception. We are looking for candidates who are interested in computational and
experimental approaches. Candidates should have a strong background in one or more of
the following: computational or mathematical modeling of neural information processes,
cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, psychophysiology, psychophyics, or
related disciplines.
Technical assistant positions include: a software engineer to further develop an
interactive research environment for the numerical simulation of complex dynamical
systems. The preferred computer languages are Matlab and C++. We will also consider
those who are interested in developing applications for running and analyzing
experiments, including multi-channel EEG and eye-movement recording. Candidates
should have an M.Sc. or equivalent. Those interested to qualify for a higher degree will
be considered.
The laboratory offers excellent research facilities for conducting computer simulations
and experiments, travel support for conferences, an attractive international academic
environment, and is located within the Tokyo metropolitan area. Housing facilities are
available for an initial period. Competitive salaries are offered. The initial appointment
will be for one year, and will be renewable on an annual basis. Recruitment continues
until the applications are filled. Applicants should send curriculum vitae, statement of
research interests, two letters of reference, and representative publications to:
