<p><span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",Times,serif;">A Postdoctoral position in the field of social decision-making is available with
</span><span style="font-family:

group </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",Times,serif;">at the Institute for Systems Neuroscience, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany. The funding for the position comes from the “Collaborative Research in
Computational Neuroscience” (CRCNS) Program, co-funded by the German Ministry of Science and Research (BMBF) and by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the United States.</span></span></p>

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman",Times,serif;">The project investigates social decision-making
</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">by developing explicit models of social reasoning in thinking about and acting on other partners’ decision processes during tasks seeking cooperative and mutual success. These
systems cannot be observed directly and will be estimated using computational approaches for multi-agent settings (i.e., interactive partially observable Markov decision processes). Underlying neural networks will be identified via dense array, dual/dyadic
EEG and analysis of functional connectivity patterns within and across brains. Network connectivity measures include the circular correlation coefficient and time-varying, adaptive multivariate autoregressive modeling, using independent components that covary
strongly with choice outcomes and/or cognitively modeled parameters.</span></p>
