No Offer Description How do infants learn, and how does early learning influence later intelligence? Join our interdisciplinary research team to develop and empirically test innovative Bayesian cognitive models that reveal the hidden cognitive processes underlying early development. Are you interested in applying advanced computational modelling to understand human cognitive development? In this position, you will contribute to the development of the next generation of computational models of infant cognition. By integrating Bayesian cognitive modelling with longitudinal developmental data, you will help to identify the cognitive signatures of infant learning and understand how they shape later intelligence. You will join the BabyBRAIN (PIs: Hunnius & Meyer) and the Uncertainty in Complex Systems lab (PI: Hinne) as a junior postdoctoral researcher. You will develop, validate, and implement Bayesian cognitive models that capture latent cognitive processes in infancy and test them empirically in infants. In this role, you will work closely with Dr Sabine Hunnius and Dr Max Hinne .
