Openings and how to apply

• Prospective PhD students. Yes, I am recruiting. See how to apply below.
• Postdocs. Yes. Please write directly, with a CV and some detail on what you would want to work on or are interested in.
• Current Arizona undergraduates. Yes, if you are a current Arizona undergraduate and are interested in the work we do, you can write to me with your background and your interests.

You must apply through the Department of Psychology, in the Cognition and Neural Systems (CNS) area, naming me as the faculty member you would like to work with. The window is October 15 to December 1, for the following fall. See the department's advice to applicants.

Neither I nor the program requires it, though you certainly may reach out ahead of time.

In particularly, I am more than happy to answer questions about whether your interests line up with what the lab is actually doing, whether you would be a good fit for the lab, and any questions about the application process. If you do write, please include a CV and some detail on what you would want to work on or are interested in.

We approach planning and decision-making from a computational perspective.

Most students in this lab have strong coding experience and at least some quantitative background, though the exact nature of that background can vary. In addition, you should have a strong interest in cognitive science and/or neuroscience, as ultimately these methods are being used to understand how the brain implements complex behavior. Existing experience with neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI) is not required, but may be helpful depending on your research interests.
