PhD studentships are available for the doctoral program in Cognitive
Science at Central European University (CEU).

The Department of Cognitive Science at CEU invites applications for
doctoral student positions starting in September 2013. This is a
research-based training program in human cognition with social
cognition and learning as core themes. Research topics include
cooperation, communication, social learning, cultural transmission,
embodied cognition, joint action, cognitive development, strategic
decision-making, problem solving, visual cognition, sensory and
statistical learning, visual psychophysics, computational
neuroscience, and social cognitive neuroscience. Students will follow
courses in cognitive psychology, philosophy of mind, cognitive
anthropology, computational cognition and linguistics, and will
receive practical research training in the laboratories of the members
of this new department. Faculty includes

Gergely CSIBRA
(cognitive development, cognitive neuroscience)
József FISER
(visual perception and cognition, biological and statistical learning)
György GERGELY
(infant cognition, developmental psychopathology)
Christophe HEINTZ
(culture and cognition, scientific cognition, behavioral economics)
Guenther KNOBLICH

Natalie SEBANZ

Dan SPERBER

Applicants are expected to hold an internationally recognized Master’s
or comparable degree in the standard disciplines that constitute
cognitive science. A comparable degree in other Social Sciences,
Humanities, or other disciplines will also be considered in case of an
excellent academic record. We will consider the applications of
exceptional students who only hold a Bachelor degree, provided it is
in a discipline closely associated to cognitive science.

appropriate members of the faculty in advance in order to check the
suitability of their research plans.
