Dear colleagues,
We are currently recruiting for multiple positions in the Ecological and Collective Cognition Lab (Kano Lab) at Kyushu University (Institute for Advanced Study, Japan):
- Postdoctoral Researcher (funded position available)
- Technical Staff / Research Assistant (funded position)
- Postdoctoral Researchers (external funding encouraged)
- Prospective PhD and Master’s students (external funding required)
Our lab aims to establish a new quantitative science of social cognition grounded in naturalistic observation. We combine behavioral experiments, fieldwork, eye-tracking, and computer vision to study how cognition shapes interaction and collective behavior across humans, nonhuman primates, and birds, with a particular focus on eye-gaze.
