New York University

Location

New York, NY

Open Date

Sep 29, 2026

Description

The Mattar Lab at New York University seeks a Postdoctoral Associate to conduct research on computational models of human learning and decision-making. The research will combine behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and machine learning to develop more general accounts of human cognition across diverse tasks.

We welcome applications from international candidates; however, please note that NYU is not an E-Verify employer and therefore unable to support STEM OPT extensions.

This position is based in New York and the selected candidate will be expected to work onsite as of their effective start date.

In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $62,500-$90,000. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.

Qualifications

Applicants should have a PhD in psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, computer science, or a related field by the start date, with strong quantitative and computational research skills.

NYU is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to a policy of equal treatment and opportunity in every aspect of its recruitment and hiring process without regard to age, alienage, caregiver status, childbirth, citizenship status, color, creed, disability, domestic violence victim status, ethnicity, familial status, gender and/or gender identity or expression, marital status, military status, national origin, parental status, partnership status, predisposing genetic characteristics, pregnancy, race, religion, reproductive health decision making, sex, sexual orientation, unemployment status, veteran status, or any other legally protected basis. All interested persons are encouraged to apply for vacant positions at all levels.
