    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 address:

    Dr Elena Andonova Central and East European Center for Cognitive Science New Bulgarian University 21, Montevideo St., Sofia 1618 Bulgaria

    Interviews are expected to take place in Sofia during the International Summer School in Cognitive Science in July of 2003. Enquiries can be made by email to Dr. Elena Andonova at New Bulgarian University, (Email: eandonovanbu.bg)
