Job Openings

We are seeking Project Researcher / Project Academic Support Specialist to work in Human fMRI Core, which will be involved in operation and support services for client MRI users.

We are seeking Postdoctoral Fellow to work in Cai Laboratory who is interested in any of the following areas of research: (1) the computational mechanism underlying human learning and decision making, especially in learning latent causal structure from noisy observations; (2) development and application of Bayesian and deep learning algorithms for brain imaging (primarily fMRI) data, especially for multi-echo fMRI and (natural) tasks data; (3) application of cognitive model and fMRI to understand psychiatric diseases (through collaboration); (4) developing deep learning model for learning interpretable generative model of environment.

We are seeking Postdoctoral Fellow who works in Nagai Laboratory where investigates how human infants acquire various cognitive abilities by means of computational approach and designing assistant systems for people with developmental disorders. This laboratory seeks Postdoctoral Fellow who will work in the fields of cognitive developmental robotics, human-robot interaction, machine learning, neural network, and relevant topics.

We are seeking Postdoctoral Fellow who works in Yazaki-Sugiyama laboratory where focuses on how early stage sensory experience shapes neural circuits in the brain, as well as how this time window is regulated, and guides the later development of higher cognitive functions using the bird song learning model. This laboratory seeks Postdoctoral Fellow who are interested in the following areas of research: ● Tracking early auditory memory for song learning and the neuronal mechanisms underlying critical periods of auditory memory formation and ● Tracking the social effects and social intelligence in song learning.

We are seeking Postdoctoral Fellow who works in Chao laboratory which is interested in brain networks that underlie predictive coding and creativity. This laboratory uses EEG in human and ECoG in marmoset to examine how the brain networks learn and predict statistical structures in multisensory sequences, and also EEG in human to study how brain networks support creative thinking and its incubation.

We are seeking Project Academic Support Specialist who will help recruit research participants and support EEG experiments in Chao laboratory where studies how the brain generates predictions and creative thinking.

We are seeking Part-time Project Academic Support Staff (Part-time) who will help recruit research participants and support EEG experiments in Chao laboratory where studies how the brain generates predictions and creative thinking.

We are seeking Postdoctoral Fellow (Project Researcher) who investigates neural and computational correlates of “creativity”, and device the neurofeedback system to guide their creativity (Cognitive Developmental Robotics Lab: Project Professor Yukie Nagai, Project Assistant Professor Tatsuya Daikoku).

We are seeking Project Academic Support Staff/Specialist (Research Assistant) who will work in Cai Laboratory where is conducting the following areas of research: (1) the computational mechanism underlying human learning and decision making, especially in how we form a mental model of the environment; (2) application of cognitive model, behavioral experiments and natural task fMRI to understanding psychiatric disorders (through collaboration with other labs); (3) developing deep learning model inspired by the brain, for learning interpretable generative model of environment and/or learning with intrinsic motivation; (4) development and application of advanced Bayesian and deep learning algorithms for brain imaging (primarily fMRI) data.

We are seeking Project Academic Support Staff in Administration Office who is in charge of financial planning.

We are seeking Postdoctoral Fellow (Project Resesarcher) who is highly motivated to contribute to the field of computational psychiatry, to work on team science project investigating the computational and neural mechanism of psychiatric disorders (primarily schizophrenia) under the framework of reinforcement learning (and utilizing other computational tools including deep learning). This postdoctoral fellow will be expected to develop computational model and behavioral experiments on patients to study the mechanism of psychiatric disorders, inspired by (but not limited to) recent findings on dopamine function (e.g., https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2115-1), with the possibility of extending to fMRI experiments.

We are seeking Project Academic Support Staff who will be responsible for all tasks related Human fMRI Core.
