We are still looking to hire a new postdoc this fall. This is an NIH-funded position investigating computational and neural mechanisms of regulating cognitive stability and flexibility. Details and application: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/24852 Please RT!

one of the unsung delights of PI life is that students can take the research totally outside your wheelhouse and that's how we ended up with a line of work inspired by a viral tweet giorgi shows that self-reported visual/verbal imagery tendencies may shape narrative memory

1/n JoCN Travel Fellowship to attend cogneurosociety.org/annual-meeting/, deadline approaching! Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience has teamed up with CNS News to create the JoCN Travel Fellowship, which provides a travel stipend for trainees from geographically underrepresented countries to attend

New paper alert! I offer some (idiosyncratic) musings on the conflict-control and task-switching literatures in this Perspective: "Principles of cognitive control over task focus and task switching". Hope it's useful/stimulating to some folks... rdcu.be/dnbaz

The Computational Cognitive and Neural Sciences lab at UC Riverside is recruiting at all levels! Grad school applications are due 12/1. You can learn about our research on goal-directed behavior and learning at ballardlab.org

We have some exciting WMS announcements! First, the *5th* Annual Working Memory Symposium is happening July 9-12, 2024! (Submissions will open May 1) Second, we're excited to welcome two new organizers: Anastasia Kiyonaga (Anastasia Kiyonaga) and Marlene Rösner (@MarleneRosner)!

If you're working in the working memory arena -- as a student, postdoc, RA, or other trainee -- don't forget to submit your WMS abstract It's a great venue for talk practice and feedback, among a friendly and enthusiastic crowd

We are hiring 2 RAs in the AML (now at University of Oregon) with an anticipated start date of late summer/early fall. I promise it will be a fun place to study motivation, affect, and memory! Find more info about the position in the ad below, and a link to apply in the thread.

If you are eligible, put your hat in the ring for a travel award for CNS 2025 (don't tell anyone, but it's my favorite meeting of the year!).

Check out our work on the circuitry of WM-action interplay, led by the amazing Anastasia Kiyonaga! Two distinct TMS protocols to lPFC differentially interfered with proactive vs. reactive control mechanisms between WM and action goals, suggesting multiple timescales of adaptive control

JoCNForum is officially live. See inaugural editorial by William Matchin and postlelab on the JoCNForum website: jocnf.pubpub.org, where you can also submit your posts and responses. This has been a long labor of love; we hope it will be beneficial to the cog neuro community!

New post by Nicole C Rust, PhD and @PhilCorlett1. As always, we encourage you to post your thoughts on all matters cognitive neuroscience at jocnf.pubpub.org What do you mean when you say "one versus two factors"? And how does it map onto "computation" doi.org/10.21428/8e6ba…

Special Focus recognizing the outsized influence on memory research of Sarah DuBrow doi.org/10.1162/jocn_a…

Leslie Ungerleider (1946 - 2020) was an extraordinary, pioneering neuroscientist. Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience's latest issue honors her legacy with articles authored by former colleagues & trainees that highlight critical aspects of her work and its influence. bit.ly/3VdFoGV #cogsci

The Working Memory Symposium will return in 2025 (Tentative date: July 8-11)! We are now seeking a new post-doc organizer to join our organizing team. To apply, fill out the google form linked on our home page (wmsymposium.org) by March 16!

Last day to join the team of WMS2025 organizers (July 8-11th)! If you are a postdoc who is passionate about WM research and empowering WM ECRs, don't forget to fill in a very short application (docs.google.com/forms/d/1dfC...) by the end of TODAY (March 16th, last time zone on earth)!

Interested in dopamine? Have fMRI data? We’ve found a temporal BOLD feature that carries rich information about dopamine. Measurable in resting-state and task fMRI, this feature opens new ways to indirectly probe dopamine’s role in cognition and disease. tinyurl.com/bddyz67b

I will be looking to hire 2-3 post-docs over the next few months to work on cognitive control in humans, using EEG, TMS, DBS, sEEG, fMRI, or related methods. If you know anybody, please tell them to email me. Formal ad to follow. Lab website: wessellab.org

Curious about the visual human brain, computation, and pursuing a PhD in a vibrant and collaborative lab located in the heart of Europe? My lab is offering a 3-year PhD position! More details: rademakerlab.com/job-add

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ONLINE CONFERENCE is less than a week away!!! If you are a working memory researchers, consider checking it out!!
