We are open to a broad array of ideas and approaches in a variety of animal models and will also consider theorists with a strong interest in linking their ideas to experimental data. The workshop will focus on cognition broadly construed (e.g. navigation, learning, decision making, planning, social interactions, etc.), but sessions will be thematically tuned to the participants? research interests. Over the course of one week, attendees will present their work, engage in discussions on critical problems and obstacles in the field, and indulge in informed speculation about conceptual and technical approaches that might be useful for future progress ... MORE To be considered, applicants must provide: * Research Abstract * Answers to three Scientific Thought Questions * Current CV * PI Recommendation Application deadline: Oct 8, 2024 (11:59 p.m. ET) Meals, accommodations and travel support are provided for accepted participants. We especially encourage applications from females and those who identify with groups that are traditionally underrepresented in science, from around the world. Visit website to learn more and apply!

NIH MOSAIC K99 Program to Promote Faculty Diversity ? Please Spread the Word Dear Dr. Guerrero-Medina, We are writing to let you know about an upcoming webinar on Thursday, August 29 at 1 PM ET for the NIH MOSAIC Program to promote faculty diversity, and to ask for your help in spreading the word to postdocs who would be interested, for example postdocs at your institution including those affiliated with the IPERT award. The MOSAIC program is designed to facilitate the transition of promising postdoctoral researchers from diverse backgrounds into independent, research-intensive faculty careers. The program has two components: an individual career transition award for postdoctoral scholars (K99/R00) and a research education cooperative agreement (UE5) awarded to organizations to provide these scholars with additional mentoring, networking and professional development activities to support their transition to and success in independent faculty careers. The MOSAIC K99/R00 program supports researchers who have demonstrated meaningful contributions and proposed compelling future plans to promote broad participation in the biomedical research workforce. NIH accepts applications for the MOSAIC K99/R00 award three times per year, and the next application receipt date is October 12. Please note, the MOSAIC K99/R00 award is limited to US Citizens and Permanent Residents. Again, the informational webinar will be on Thursday, August 29 at 1 PM ET. You can read more about the MOSAIC program and find log in information in a recent post on the NIGMS Feedback Loop Blog, as well as answers see answers to Frequently Asked Questions. We plan to post the slides and video on the MOSAIC website shortly after the webinar. Please share information about the MOSAIC Postdoctoral Career Transition Award and webinar with current postdocs at your institution. We are happy to answer any questions you have. Thank you!

Invited fellows will present their research to the Johns Hopkins community in 2024-2025, and meet with individual faculty members and postdocs throughout the day. The cost of travel and accommodation will be covered by Kavli NDI. We are requesting self-nominations from postdocs, as well as nominations of postdocs from PIs. To (self-) nominate, please provide a CV and short description of the candidate?s research interests (< 300 words) to me (pauline.charbogne at yale.edu) by Monday, September 9th at 6 pm for consideration. The fellows? research should fall under the broad interests and mission of Kavli NDI. The Kavli NDI brings together researchers to investigate the function of the nervous system across broad spatial and temporal scales, from synapses to cognition, throughout development and aging. Their primary mission is: "To advance neuroscience discovery by uniting biology, engineering, and computational data science to understand the structure and function of the brain." They support diversity in their community and encourage nominations of women, LGBTQ, minorities, and international students. Our internal committee will select 2 fellows for consideration by the Kavli NDI committee. Their selection committee will then review and invite one fellow to be part of the speaker series.

Details [A person with a beard and mustache wearing glasses Description automatically generated] Speaker: Dr Becket Ebitz Assistant Professor and Canada Research Chair in the Dynamics of Cognition, Department of Neuroscience, Universit? de Montr?al Title: Neuroscience of Mistakes Date: Friday, September 6 Time: 11:35 ? 12:55 Place: Room 180A, 100 College Street The talk kicks off the Current Works in Behavior, Genetics, and Neuroscience at BrainWorks. This series will meet regularly on Fridays 11:35-12:55 in room 180A at 100 College. Nibbles will be available upon arrival. Abstract for Neuroscience of Mistakes Humans and other animals do not always choose the most rewarding course of action, even when we have ample time and computational resources. Why do we make mistakes? The noiseLab uses a combination of theoretical, behavioral, and neurobiological techniques to address this question. In this talk, Dr. Becket Ebitz will discuss converging evidence that mistakes are the product of representational and temporal nonlinearities in neural activity that constrain our ability to make good decisions. Some of these nonlinearities have long-term adaptive benefits, even when they fail to produce the best decision in the moment. We hope to see you there, Kia Nobre, Roeland Hancock, Kathy Shi, Hanna Hillman, Deborah Day (organizers) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
