    Postdoctoral Fellowships in Cognitive Science at New Bulgarian University

    The Central and East European Center for Cognitive Science at New Bulgarian University invites applications for one-year post-doctoral fellowships for the 2003/2004 academic year (with a possible extension). The successful candidates will have an active research program in an area of cognitive science that complements thestrengths 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 Post-Doctoral Fellows are expected to interact with faculty and graduate students and to work on 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.
