We are thrilled 🥳 to share that we’re joining forces with @neuroprinciplist.bsky.social to establish a joint research unit, @cmc-unit.bsky.social integrating natural and embodied decision making across species!

We also have open PhD and postdoc positions (check below for more info) 🎉

Re-post 🔁 is appreciated!
#neurojobs: we’re looking for new team members to join us @cmc-unit.bsky.social!
If you’d like to study decision-making in naturalistic & embodied contexts (integrating RL, RNNs & cross-species data analysis) in a cool & collaborative research environment 😎, check 👇

CMC unit really packed all the best elements into one opportunity—RL, RNNs, and cross-species analysis 🫰

If you’re attending #BernsteinConference, don’t miss our contributed talk today on how considering embodied constraints (motor control + homeostasis) affects decision making during foraging!

If you’re interested in how to identify behaviorally relevant dynamic modes in continuous time naturalistic tasks without any pre-defined trial structure make sure to check @maxschwabe.bsky.social’s poster today at #BernsteinConference.

IV-74 (Wed, Sep. 30, 14:00): @maxschwabe.bsky.social will present how decomposing neural dynamics to intrinsic and input-driven modes can tell us how naturalistic decision computations are realized in the RNNs.

Would be really happy to see you there! We’ll be presenting new findings from UNITE, along with some exciting methodological advances. #BernsteinConference

Curious what happens when we apply fastDSA across a pool of RNNs and IBL brain-wide data?

Could a new perspective on how underlying neural dynamics change help us better understand neural data?

Join me and find out.

The projects in our unit combine methods from reinforcement learning, dynamical systems, and AI with analyses of neural and behavioral data to investigate how different species adapt their decisions to the dynamics of their natural environments, while accommodating their embodied constraints.

We now have open positions in both of our research hubs: a postdoc position at MPI for Biological Cybernetics (Tübingen) and a PhD position at TU Dresden (Dresden), co-supervised by @neuroprinciplist.bsky.social and @roxana-zeraati.bsky.social. See below for more information 👇

We, the Natural Decision Making Group and the Embodied Decision Making Group, are joining forces to establish the CMC Unit, a joint research unit to uncover computational, biological, and ecological principles underlying adaptive decision-making.
