Job Details

We are seeking two highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associates to work on an international collaborative project that is developing novel frameworks for humans and AI agents to work as effective, collaborative teammates. The project brings together cutting-edge research from cognitive neuroscience, brain-computer interfaces, neural engineering and machine learning.

The post holders will join Prof Nick Yeung’s Attention and Cognitive Control lab. The work on this project focuses on the role of metacognition in effective group decision making, including multivariate decoding of EEG activity. The team also work with partners including the Brain-Computer Interfaces and Neural Engineering Laboratory at the University of Essex and the Neural Systems Engineering & Information Processing Lab at the University of Southern California.
