Excited and honoured to be promoted to full Professor of Decision Neuroscience. Extremely grateful to all the many many people who helped me do this (students, colleagues, collaborators, mentors) & @EP_UCL@OxExpPsy@TheCHBH@UoB_SoP for their training and support along the way.
Excited to announce I am joining @TheCHBH and @IMH_UoB at University of Birmingham as a Senior Research Fellow from summer 2020! I am looking for PhD students and a postdoc to work on social decision neuroscience. DM if you want to apply π @UoB_SoP@LES_UniBham
Thrilled and honoured to be selected for a Philip Leverhulme Prize in Psychology! @LeverhulmeTrust very grateful to my amazing lab, collaborators & supervisors across many wonderful places I have had the privilege to work and study @BristolUniPsych@UCLPALS@OxExpPsy@UoB_SoP
The Trust is delighted to announce the winners of the 2021 Philip Leverhulme Prizes. Thirty exceptional researchers awarded in these areas: Classics; Earth Sciences; Physics; Politics and International Relations; Psychology; Visual and Performing Arts. leverhulme.ac.uk/news/2021-philβ¦
Thrilled (and surprised!) to be awarded a Jacobs Foundation @Foundation_JF Research Fellowship. Looking forward to meeting the other fellows and learning more about learning! Applications for the next round now open (see below), deadline 11th January.
Happy to share the final version of our paper with @MKFlugge on using computational models of reinforcement learning in social neuroscience! academic.oup.com/scan/advance-aβ¦ available open access and has some useful tutorial links for applying RL models at the end π
Human ventromedial prefrontal cortex is necessary for prosocial motivation nature.com/articles/s4156β¦ with @DrJoCutler@BrainInTheMind + many others. We show multiple causal roles of vmPFC in prosocial motivation, effort and reward in a rare large cohort with focal vmPFC damage
Very honoured and excited to receive the APS Janet Taylor Spence Award! and to join a set of past and present award recipients whose work I really admire.
πI will soon be advertising for a postdoc in social learning and decision-making! sdn-lab.org πThe post is for 2 yrs (extension possible). We are looking for someone with experience and/or strong interest in comp modelling, brain imaging, lifespan studies.
ππ π New fully funded 3.5 year PhD in Decision Neuroscience πππ join us at sdn-lab.org to study the neurocomputational mechanisms of social behaviour findaphd.com/phds/project/pβ¦. Open to international students. Deadline 10th May. Please RT!
