Dr. Marcelo Mattar is hiring two Postdoctoral Associates to develop and apply interpretable neural network models to understand the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying decision-making and learning. The successful candidates will use recurrent neural networks and dynamical systems analyses to discover computational principles of adaptive behavior in humans and animals, with potential applications to understanding individual differences and clinical populations.

In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $62,500-$90,000. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.

PhD in neuroscience, psychology, computer science, or a related field. Strong programming skills (Python preferred). Experience with computational modeling of behavior and/or neural networks. Interest in decision-making, learning, and cognitive science.
