Dear Moderator,
in my first submission there was a typo in the header of the email (see
below). It should say: Computational *Psychology* and not Computational
*Psychiatry*.
Can you send the job announcement with the correct header?
I am very sorry for the hassle!
All the best

*PhD Position in Computational **Psychology**(salary level TV-L E13 100%)*
*Visual Information Sampling Using Eye-movements and Overt Attention in
Dynamic Scenes***
*Reference number:*IV-790/23 (starting date: May 1st, 2024/ for up to
threeyears / closing date for applications for full consideration:
January 18th, 2024 / applications will be accepted until the position is
filled).
*Working field:*This position is part of an interdisciplinary project
between psychology, computational neuroscience, and computervision. The
successful candidate will conduct model-based data analyses of human
behavioral and eye-tracking data andwill perform the computational
modelling of eye-movement patterns with help of the ScanDy saccade
predictionframework(cf. Roth N., Rolfs M., Hellwich O., and Obermayer K.
(2023), Objects Guide Human Gaze Behavior in Dynamic Real-World Scenes,
PLoS Comput. Biol. 19, e1011512). Investigations will address the
relationship between task, gaze behavior, and scene memorization
wheninspecting dynamic scenes andthemechanisms and functional
consequences of inter-individual differences inhuman visual sampling
strategies. The candidate is supposed to join the PhD program of the
Cluster of Excellence “Science of Intelligence”
(https://www.scienceofintelligence.de/, specifically projects PJ 01 and
PJ 57) which this position is part of. Information about our research
group can also be found at https://www.tu.berlin/en/ni.
*Requirements:*Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom
or equivalent) in Computational Neuroscience, ComputerScience, Physics,
Mathematics, or related fields. Applicants should have very good
programming skills, a very good command of the Englishlanguage, a solid
mathematicalbackground, competence in machine learning, and a strong
interest in visual perception. Working experience in the fieldof
computational neuroscience and an additional background in psychology
and / or neuroscience is an advantage.
