The project is embedded in Dr Inti Brazil’s SAMBA research group, part of the Donders Centre for Cognition, which in turn is part of the Donders Institute. The main focus of the group’s research programme is on combining approaches from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience (e.g. neuroimaging), computational modelling and statistical modelling methods to study how impairments in neurobiological and psychological functioning underpin antisocial and maladaptive behaviours. The project targets individuals from the general community, psychiatric patient populations, incarcerated offenders, and forensic psychiatric populations. It will be conducted in close collaboration with the UICS group led by Dr Max Hinne.

This multifaceted position offers excellent possibilities for career development. You will be involved in the development of a novel toolkit for fusing cognitive performance and neuroimaging measures to capture individual differences, using advanced Bayesian statistical methods.

Profile
You have a Master’s degree in Mathematical Psychology, Human Cognitive Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence, Biology, Computer Science or a related field.
You have experience in quantitative analysis of cognitive performance data.
You have a demonstrable affinity with using mathematical models and/or machine learning methods.
You are experienced at programming in Python and R.
You have an excellent command of written and spoken English (C1 level).
You have a good command of written and spoken Dutch or the willingness to learn Dutch within a short period of time.
You have the capacity to work in an interdisciplinary and translational research environment.
You possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
You are proactive and have a goal-directed attitude, good organisational skills, and the ability to get things done.

**Non-essential but desirable skills**:
You are well acquainted with mathematical modelling (particularly Bayesian modelling).
You have experience with programming in MATLAB and/or Javascript.
You have experience with analysing large datasets with cognitive, behavioural and neuroimaging data.
