Asking informally: does anyone know someone who might be interested in a postdoc focused on understanding changes in memory representations driven by attention using EEG? ⚡️Thanks!

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Cheating with an LLM is the easiest thing in the world for a student to do, but it creates a massive, laborious headache for a prof, if you intend to take it seriously. There’s meetings, emails, discussions, moral dilemmas. It’s just incredibly burdensome, on top of everything else right now.

A new permanent R&T position at Lecturer level was just advertised at my favourite department @rhulpsychology.bsky.social (yes, I am biased but for very good reasons). Consider applying if you are looking for an academic home. And please spread the word !

Billionaires are convinced AI is on the verge of making new scientific discoveries because they don't understand how AI chatbots work.

I am recruiting a postgraduate research assistant to work in the Cambridge Memory Lab, administering cognitive tasks and helping with lab administration. Would suit someone who's just finished their degree and wants to gain research experience before further study. Please apply!

Tip for PhD applicants reaching out to prospective advisors: Don’t use an LLM to write these emails. It’s not a great first impression to express your admiration for a recent paper the faculty member published if that paper does not exist.

Just over a week left to apply for these roles! Postdoc is for 3 years with a possible extension to 5. RA is for 2 years and ideal experience for securing a PhD studentship.

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully. You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers. Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.
