**The role**:
This ERC-funded project entitled “Generalisation in Mind and Machine” explores how well neural networks support human-like generalization across a range of tasks. In contrast with the large community of researchers focused on improving the performance of deep networks for applied reasons, the goal of this project is to explore what neural networks tell us about how the brain works. This is a full-time position with a proposed start date of 15 April 2023 and currently has funding secured until August 31st, 2023.

**What will you be doing?**:
You will have a PhD in psychology or related field. You should have extensive experience working with neural networks.

Applications should include curriculum vitae, list of publications, and a brief description of research interests.

We recently launched our strategy to 2030 tying together our mission, vision and values.
