Ph.D. studentships for Cognitive Science at New Bulgarian University
The Central and East European Center for Cognitive Science at New Bulgarian
University invites applications for two-year studentships, starting in October
2003. The successful candidates will have or expect to attain this summer a
good
honours degree or equivalent in Psychology, Linguistics, Computer Science,
Philosophy, or an associated discipline, and to have research interests in an
area of cognitive science that complements the strengths of current faculty at
the Center. Preferred areas include:
-- Analogy Making: Computational Modeling and Experimental Research (Boicho
Kokinov, Maurice Grinberg)
-- Cognitive Architectures (DUAL) (Boicho Kokinov, Maurice Grinberg)
-- Constructive Memory: Computational Modeling and Experimental Research
(Boicho
Kokinov, Maurice Grinberg, Encho Gerganov, Lyudmil Mavlov,
-- David Popivanov, Elena Andonova)
-- Context and Context Sensitivity of Human Behavior (Boicho Kokinov, Maurice
Grinberg, Encho Gerganov, Elena Andonova, Stefan Mateeff, Angel Vassilev)
-- Cognitive Economics and Decision-Making (Boicho Kokinov, Maurice Grinberg,
Stefan Mateeff)
-- Human Conceptual System (Lilia Gurova, Encho Gerganov, Elena Andonova,
Maurice Grinberg, Boicho Kokinov)
-- Language Processing: Behavioral Experimental Research and Modeling (Elena
Andonova, Encho Gerganov, Lyudmil Mavlov, Maurice Grinberg, David Popivanov)
-- Visual Perception: Experimental Research and Modeling (Stefan Mateeff,
Angel
Vassilev, Maurice Grinberg, Naum Yakimoff)
The Ph.D. students are expected to follow the Ph.D. program in cognitive
science
at New Bulgarian University and to participate in research projects.
The available research facilities include an experimental
psychology lab, a neuroscience lab (EEG and eye-
tracking equipment), and a usability lab. As part of the application process,
applicants are strongly encouraged to contact one or more of the faculty
members
in the Center for Cognitive Science and discuss possible research
activities. More information on faculty, and the Center generally, is
available at: http://www.nbu.bg/cogs/center/index.html
Applications (application form, statement of purpose, CV, list of
publications,
2 letters of support) are welcome by the June 1st, 2003 to the following
