Preprint alert! After 4 years, I’m super excited to share work with Charley Wu (@thecharleywu.bsky.social) Sam Gershman Helmholtz Institute for Human-Centered AI on the rise and fall of technological development in virtual communities in #OneHourOneLife #ohol 🧵👇 doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…

Very excited to share this preprint that's been a massive labor of love and provides a new "middle way" for studying multigenerational processes that compliment the control of a lab experiment 🔬 and the real-world validity of archaeological records🦴! osf.io/preprints/psya…

Updated ESLR Society jobs board! Highlights: 2 PhD positions with Tim Waring on cultural adaptation and cooperation, open call for group leaders at Max Planck Society, and (shameless plug) a postdoc on creativity and innovation w/my team at Stony Brook University! bit.ly/ESLR-Jobs

What's the only thing better than NASSLLI (North American Summer School for Logic, Language and Information)? Summer in Seattle! Luckily, you can have both: I'm hosting NASSLLI at UW this summer. nasslli25.shane.st Please share widely, submit proposals, and attend!

Graduating PhDs and postdocs in AI, ML, Cogsci, or related areas: apply to work with me and others on AI models of visual and multimodal reasoning. Two years of funding with possible extension to a third year. Application deadline November 22. santafe.edu/about/jobs/pos…

I'm recruiting PhD students this year with strong interest in NLP! If you are interested in understanding how we use language to effectively communicate, and how those insights translate to NLP models, apply to join the Coalas Lab at UCLA. Continue reading for details! (1/5)

35 years of studies argue that kids assume word meanings are mutually exclusive. In Association for Psychological Science, Gabor Brody, Athulya Aravind, and I argue kids aren't making an assumption. We show 2y.o. only think words are mutually exclusive when they're told so. 1/ osf.io/awtch

Want to grow your own social networks to study creativity, cultural evolution & decision-making? Now official! We're hiring a postdoc at Cornell in collaboration with UC Davis, CUNY, & Princeton, funded by the #NSF. Apply here: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28959

When we anticipate the future, the brain shows graded representations of the future & past. The scale of these representations increases systematically from lower- to higher-order regions. Proud of this work by Hannah Tarder-Stoll, a collab w/ Chris Baldassano! nature.com/articles/s4146…

‼️SAVE THE DATE‼️ We are excited to announce that the next Culture Conference will take place on the 27th & 28th of February 2025 in Utrecht, The Netherlands! The abstract submission will soon open! Stay tuned for future announcements on the website: culture-conference.com

In a paper just out, I refresh the environmental complexity hypothesis, clarifying the broad role of cognition from an evolutionary perspective: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Thanks Dhara Yu for sharing your fascinating work with us on "Interactive discovery of program-like social norms". Dhara builds and tests computational models of how people generate structured joint action plans that balance reward, fairness, and implementation complexity.

When I started my PhD in cognitive science it felt like we were becoming computer scientists. With LLMs it's flipped and everyone's using psychology to understand computers.

Still two weeks left to apply to the graduate program here UCBerkeley Psychology. My lab (ccs-ucb.github.io) is recruiting through the Cognition area this cycle. More information here: psychology.berkeley.edu/students/gradu…

We also have a postdoc position available in my lab, start date as early as January but flexible: aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04639

I'm extremely excited to launch the relational cognition lab at UC Irvine: relcoglab.org We study learning and memory in mind, brains and machines. I am open to collaborations and hiring a lab technician in January 2025 (job ad soon). Reach out to chat!

AISI's societal impacts team is looking for several research scientists / engineers. Backgrounds in machine learning, computational social science, data science, NLP, statistics / experimental design all welcome. boards.eu.greenhouse.io/aisi/jobs/4410… AISI is great. come and join us :)
