This position is based in New York and the selected candidate will be expected to work onsite as of their effective start date.

The laboratory of Weiji Ma at New York University ( http://www.cns.nyu.edu/malab ) is looking for a postdoc to study the cognitive and neural mechanisms of multi-step planning across species. Previous work in the lab has developed game-based experimental paradigms for studying multi-step planning and has laid the foundation for the cognitive modeling of human decisions, response times, and eye movements in a variety of planning tasks.

The postdoc will build on this work and a) design and run human behavioral experiments on adaptive multi-step planning; b) develop theoretical frameworks for understanding human choices, response times, and eye movements in lab experiments, and human choices and response times in large online data sets; b) perform data analysis and computational modeling for a collaboration with a non-human primate lab that...
