> Applications are invited for a one-year post-doctoral position at the
> University of Provence (Marseille) & CNRS. My research looks at cognitive
> aging and development. I focus on high-level cognitive tasks (e.g.,
> numerical cognition) and use a variety of techniques, from standard
> behavioral approaches (e.g., verbal protocols, video-tape recordings,
> eye-movements, and performance measures like reaction times and percent
> errors) to more recent brain-imaging techniques (e.g., ERP and fMRI). I
also
> conduct computational modelling of strategic aspects of cognitive
> performance and age-related differences in these aspects.
>
> During this one year post-doc, several projects may be carried out,
> including projects prolonging works previously carried out by candidates.
> Two examples of the type of works that may be carried out are: (a)
empirical
> studies of age-related differences in strategic aspects of numerical
> processing tasks. These aspects will be investigated in children and
adults
> of varying age, using eye-movement recordings and/or brain-imagining
> techniques. (b) computational modelling of strategic aspects of numerical
> processing tasks and strategic effects in these tasks.
>
> Necessary qualifications include a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, or
> Computer Sciences, and experience with Behavioral studies. Appreciated is
> also experience with either eye-movements or fMRI/ERP (or both) studies
(for
> empirical projects) or computational modelling (for theoretical projects).

> People from the following countries are elligible: United States, Canada,
