The Computational Cognitive Science Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, led by Dr. Bill Thompson, seeks a Postdoctoral Scholar in computational models of social reasoning. The Postdoctoral Scholar will be expected to contribute to the development of new models of social reasoning and to conduct large-scale online behavioral experiments that examine the predictions of these models. The broader project investigates how groups of people discover solutions to complex problems. The successful candidate will work with the principal investigator as well as collaborators at the computational cognitive science lab to help achieve the laboratory-s goals.
Responsibilities include:
â Developing software infrastructure to conduct online experiments
â Conducting large-scale online behavioral experiments with human participants
â Developing formal cognitive models of reasoning about and learning from social interactions
â Analyzing and visualizing experimental data
â Plan and write scientific publications
The position also includes scope to pursue the postdoctoral scholar-s own research interests within this subject areas:
Project management: Working on research protocol design, grant writing, and reporting progress to funding organizations. Coordinating work of research assistants.
