I am hiring a postdoc for a DFF-funded project on social influence, and the decision processes that fuel rich-get-richer dynamics in the online/offline world. The position is for up to a year, competitive Danish salary, remote work possible. Interested or know somebody? DM me or share!

Over the moon to announce that, as of last Friday, I’m officially #PhDone! I’d like to thank everyone who supported me along the way, including, but not limited to, my amazing supervisor @thecharleywu.bsky.social, and all members (past or present) of the HMC lab and the @velezcolab.bsky.social 🎓

My Lab at the University of Edinburgh🇬🇧 has funded PhD positions for this cycle! We study the computational principles of how people learn, reason, and communicate. It's a new lab, and you will be playing a big role in shaping its culture and foundations. Spread the words!

Don't miss it! Submit your abstract for our Satellite Symposium on Computational Neuroscience to celebrate 20 years Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Göttingen! Deadline for your abstracts is August 17! Participation is free! Join us in Göttingen on Oct 15!

Happening today after lunch! Stop by W-213 (conveniently placed at the very entrance of the salon, near fresh air!) to hear about positivity biases across individual and social learning #cogsci2025

Proud of the work from hmc-lab.com & collaborators @ #CogSci2025 this year, but sad I cant be there myself @hanqizhou.bsky.social @davidnagy.bsky.social @alexthewitty.bsky.social @stepalminteri.bsky.social @brendenlake.bsky.social @kefang.bsky.social @rdhawkins.bsky.social @meanwhileina.bsky.social

The CoLab is headed to #CogSci2025!! 🥳 Here's where to find us!

Thrilled that our paper on the mechanisms underlying social learning strategies is out! First big paper from my @erc.europa.eu & @kawresearch.bsky.social funded group. More to come! I'm currently looking to recruit two post docs, get in touch if you find this line of research interesting.

This was so fun! Thanks to everyone for coming, presenting, and exchanging ideas! :)

Delighted to announce our CogSci '25 workshop at the interface between cognitive science and design 🧠🖌️! We're calling it: 🏺Minds in the Making🏺 🔗 minds-making.github.io June – July 2024, free & open to the public (all career stages, all disciplines)

🚨CogSci preprint alert🚨 When you look at reviews, do you like to focus on positive or negative ones? @stepalminteri.bsky.social, @thecharleywu.bsky.social and I set out to investigate how learning rate biases differ between individual and social learning in our new study. osf.io/bcrw9_v2 🧵 below!

👨‍🎤COSMOS strikes back🌠! This time in Tokyo 🇯🇵 with a fantastic new program designed to teach computational modeling of social phenomena. As always, it's free to attend & we will offer travel stipends to ensure diverse attendance. For details visit 👉 cosmossummerschool.github.io/application/ pls share🙏

How do we integrate social information from others with similar, but distinct, preferences? Find the answer in the first publication of my PhD, now out in PNAS! (pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Or get the quick rundown in the thread below 🧵

Ever had to go through the gruelling process of finding a good restaurant based on Google reviews? 🍝 Come check out my poster today to learn how humans use social information from others with similar, but nonidentical, tastes! #CogSci2024 (P1-LL-178!)

We're looking for a new PhD student to come and work with us on the topics of cognitive control and reinforcement learning! Deadline April 26th. For more information, please see users.ugent.be/~sbraem/

Happy to share that I recently started a research visit at the @velezcolab.bsky.social - looking forward to collaborating with the experts on collaboration, and to delve back into neuroscience 🥳 🧠

Super stoked to announce that the preprint for my first PhD project is out! 🥳 In everyday life, we often rely on other people's opinions, despite them not sharing our exact preferences. But how do we do this adaptively? Find out in this 🧵 (1/7) or here: osf.io/e4g3q

Our fearless inaugural lab manager @bellafascendini.bsky.social is going to grad school (🥳🎉), so the CoLab is hiring a lab manager!! Please share with anyone who wants to deepen their experience in cog sci before grad school. Review starts on 3/15! research-princeton.icims.com/jobs/18575/r...

📣 We are hiring!! 📣 A postdoc position in the Computational Group Dynamics (COGNAC) lab, RIKEN CBS, Tokyo (Wako). Starting in April 2024 or soon after. Interested in experimenting human collective behaviour? See full details 👉 cbs.riken.jp/en/careers/2... Please Repost 🙏

Been saving this for my first post here. As part of a new Research Training Group on Curiosity to be established at Göttingen (www.uni-goettingen.de/de/681631.html), we advertise a PhD position in developmental curiosity research in my group. More details here: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/document/...

New paper alert: a mini meta analysis of human studies related to exploration and exploitation. Hopefully the start of a great collab with this team! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Out today! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

We are hiring! cbs.riken.jp/en/careers/2...
