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 Open-Rank Faculty and Senior Postdoctoral Fellows who works in Neural Computation, Neural-Inspired Computation, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Neuromorphic Engineering.

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 Postdoctoral Fellow (Project Researcher) for the transdisciplinary project “The Development of Social Intelligence” (Nagai Laboratory, Yazaki-Sugiyama Laboratory and Tsuji Laboratory). The goals of this project are to identify the neuronal and biological basis of social effects on learning. The successful candidate will be involved in developing experiments in songbirds and human infants in interaction with robots, including the recording and analysis of behavioral, auditory, and physiological measures.

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 Postdoctoral Fellow (Project Resesarcher) who will work in IRCN Babylab (Tsuji laboratory) for the transdisciplinary project “Tracking developing sensitivity to dyadic interactions” in collaboration with the Softbank Beyond AI Institute and Tom Froese (Embodied Cognitive Science unit, OIST).
