A postdoctoral Senior Research Associate position in Cognitive Computational Neuroscience is available to work with Dr Fraser Smith at the University of East Anglia. The position will focus on conducting neuroimaging and computational modeling studies investigating the multimodal basis of material perception (our ability to determine how a specific material will feel to touch). The project is funded by a three-year award from the Leverhulme Trust and will determine the computational benefits of combining information across vision and touch in the service of material perception.
You will be based within Dr Fraser Smith's research group in the School of Psychology. You will carry out neuroimaging experiments (fMRI & EEG) and computational modeling studies using Deep Neural Networks. You will work together closely with a PhD student and other members of the project team: Prof Tim Kietzmann (University Osnabruck) and Dr Stephanie Rossit (UEA). Application deadline is May 19, 2025.
