The UCI Department of Language Science will be hosting a Summer School on Computational Cognitive Modeling for Language, August 1-5. langsci.uci.edu/summerschool.p… This was originally going to be in 2020 but now it’s this year. More info below!

Cognitive modeling job opening! PhD candidate (4 years) at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam: Cognitive modeling of neuropsychological test performance to disentangle impaired memory processes in cancer patients nki.nl/careers-study/… Deadline Sunday 22nd May!

Looking forward to this after a two-year COVID break. Lots of new content in this offering of the course, as we fine-tune material for a planned second version of the coursebook.

Congrats to Holly Westfall, UC Irvine UCI Cognitive Sciences grad student and 2022 recipient of the School of Social Sciences Outstanding Scholar award! The honor recognizes Holly for impressive research work in human memory. #zotzotzot #ucipride socsci.uci.edu/newsevents/new…

We are so excited: One month until our Annual JAGS and Stan Workshop with Michael Lee and @EJWagenmakers (22.-26.8.)! Interested in Bayesian modeling for cognitive science? Don‘t forget to register! jasp-stats.org/jags-workshop/

I will be recruiting PhD students this upcoming cycle, so if you have motivated students interested in modeling memory and the brain, please send them my way (email: [email protected])! Lab information: sites.rutgers.edu/memory-optimiz…

The Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) invites applications for an assistant professor (tenure-track) position with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2023. Details here: Assistant Professor in Human Vision recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF07912

We're hosting MathPsych / ICCM /EMPG! We will welcome abstract contributions related to research into mathematical and computational theories of human cognition. The call for abstracts will be in February 2023. Come join us in Amsterdam this summer!
