University of California, Riverside [https://psychology.ucr.edu/about-our-department/faculty/cognition-and-cognitive-neuroscience/] Multiple positions for Fall 2020 Ph.D. program for the Cognition & Cognitive Neuroscience Area in the Department of Psychology. Faculty (John Anderson, Ilana Bennett, Curt Burgess, Christine Chiarello, Steven Clark, David Rosenbaum, Lawrence Rosenblum, Aaron Seitz, Weiwei Zhang) in our interdisciplinary program conduct basic, applied, and translational research to study various mental processes and their neural substrates. Application deadline: 12/1/19.

  • Weiwei Zhang (Cognitive Neuroscience of Perception, Attention, & Memory, https://memory.ucr.edu/). The research program in CONPAM lab integrates behavioral, computational, cognitive neuroscience, and translational approaches to address fundamental questions of theoretical importance about perception, attention, and memory in healthy subjects and in various clinical populations. The lab employs state of the art techniques, including eye tracking, electroencephalography (EEG), non-invasive transcranial stimulation, and fMRI.
  • Ilana Bennett (Laboratory of Aging and Neurocognitive Imaging, http://lanilab.ucr.edu). We examine individual- and age-related differences in the way we acquire, retain, and retrieve information using a combination of neuropsychological, cognitive, and neuroimaging (DTI, fMRI) techniques in healthy adults across the lifespan.
  • Curt Burgess (Psycholinguistics & Computational Cognition Lab, http://locutus.ucr.edu). Primary research focus is semantic memory using both computational approaches and research with human subjects. Semantics is broadly construed in that it captures grammatical, syntactic, some higher-level cognition representations. We are also developing an app for iOS devices that will support cognitive reaction time experiments anywhere there is a connection to the internet.
  • Aaron Seitz (Perception and Learning Lab, https://faculty.ucr.edu/~aseitz/; UC Riverside Brain Game Center for Mental Fitness and Well-being, https://bgc.ucr.edu). Students can work in one or both of the Perception and Learning lab and the Brain Game Center. The Perception and Learning lab conducts basic research on perception, learning and memory using a variety of approaches including advanced Psychophysics, EEG, fMRI, and computational methodologies. The UCR Brain Game Center for Mental Fitness and Well-being is a unique research unit that focuses on translational psychology and neuroscience work where we exploit the potential of consumer technologies to conduct research at large scale. This involves running hundreds to many thousands of participants on research studies designed to develop better measurements of perceptual and cognitive abilities as well as new training tools for these skills. To date we have developed numerous approaches addressing vision, hearing, working memory, executive function, and fluid intelligence. In both labs we use computational modeling and machine learning as well as standard data analysis approaches.
