About

Dr. Matthew Apps is an Assistant Professor at the University of Birmingham, UK. His research primarily focuses on the neuropsychological aspects of motivation and decision-making, particularly in the context of prosocial behavior and social interactions. Recent articles include studies on dopamine's role in motivation for prosocial efforts, the impact of social influence across age groups, and the effects of neurological conditions such as Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease on motivation and effort.

Postdoctoral Position in Cognitive Computational Neuroscience, Apathy, Brain Imaging and Computational Modelling

Postdoctoral position in cognitive computational neuroscience at the University of Birmingham , advertised by Matthew Apps (Full Professor of Cognitive Computational Neuroscience). The project is funded by the Wellcome Trust Discovery Award and is being run in collaboration with Masud Husain , Catherine Harmer , and Simon Little . The research aims to understand the neural and computational mechanisms of apathy in healthy people. Core methods include large-scale online testing , brain imaging , and computational modelling . This is a research-intensive postdoctoral role suited to candidates with interests in neuroscience, psychology, and quantitative modelling. The post is initially for 2 years , with a possible extension. No deadline, salary, or formal eligibility details are stated in the post.
