All application materials should be submitted electronically to lnkd.in/ePAGrYYH. Any questions regarding the application process may be addressed to marcia.schwartz@yale.edu.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received until the position is filled. Review begins on Nov 1, 2025.

Applicants may work in one clinical area, across multiple areas, or in the development of novel methodologies that can be broadly applied through collaboration. They should be motivated toward generating impactful work that can improve human health.

We are seeking candidates who develop and/or apply AI methodologies within the context of clinically relevant neuroscience problems. Candidates may integrate, advance or develop approaches such as NLP, machine learning, computer vision, foundation models, LLMss, and other methods.

📣💥 Open rank position in AI & Brain/Mind Health at Yale!
Come join the highly collaborative Center for Brain & Mind Health (CBM) at Yale, which seeks to apply clinical and translational neuroscience to directly improve the quality of life of individuals with conditions affecting the mind and brain.

Thank you & miss you all!!

🎉Belated congrats to Dr. @xiaosigu.bsky.social on launching the Yale Computational Psychiatry Unit! Your vision continues to inspire, & we’re so grateful for the community you built at SinaiCCP. Proud to cheer you on & excited for continued collaborations!

Many psychiatric symptoms are inherently social. @xiaosigu.bsky.social, @joebarnby.com, & I call for cognitive models that reflect processes most relevant to our questions, esp. for those about social symptoms🧵

@cpsyjournal.bsky.social is switching to a paid peer reviewer system!!

Game changer for academic publishing 👏👏

cpsyjournal.org/articles/10....

A sustainable, fair, and efficient peer review system benefits affects us all and also depends on us all. We hope that this small step will help improve our current peer review system. Stay tuned with us and importantly, we hope you will contribute to the CPSY peer review process!

As such, introducing payments will not bias the outcome of the review – a concern raised by some in the past. We believe this change will enhance the fairness, efficiency, and equity of our peer review system.

Under CPSY's new model, reviewers’ compensation does not depend on the specific recommendation (accept/reject/revise) for the paper; instead, reviewers will be compensated per article as long as the peer review process for that article is complete.

However, this can no longer be justified when publishing companies are amassing huge profits and expanding their businesses by creating new journals. Meanwhile, the same scientists who review for journals for free get charged for reading papers and for publishing their papers.

Why aren't reviewers compensated, as is the case for any other type of labor? Traditionally, volunteering one's time to review manuscripts for the field is seen as part of scholarly citizenship – something you just do to support the field, not for personal gain.

Peer review is a cornerstone of the scientific publishing ecosystem. However, with the exponential growth of research, our current peer review model is clearly unsustainable. Reviewers are often overloaded with requests and editors often struggle to secure high quality reviews in a timely manner.

🔥💥📣 Excited to announce a new policy at the Computational Psychiatry (CPSY) journal @cpsyjournal.bsky.social. Starting from April 2025, CPSY will compensate reviewers for their time and effort invested in reviewing manuscripts. w/ @drrickadams.bsky.social

Spatial distribution and trend of the minimum potential distribution range of the Yantze finless porpoise during the Tang Dynasty.

Spatial distribution and trend of the minimum potential distribution range of the Yantze finless porpoise today.

Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis) habitat has shrunk by at least 65% over the past 1,400 years as evidenced by data extracted from 724 ancient Chinese poems! This finding highlights the vital link between conservation and cultural heritage! 🧪

*We are hiring* Closing soon but still time! Associate/Full Prof position in Cognitive Neuroscience. Amazing department, rated top in UK for research power in Psychology, Psychiatry & Neuroscience. Can hire internationally, flagging for USA colleagues (all countries welcome). Come join us in London

NIH study section that was *still* scheduled for Mon-Tue next week, including all reviews done etc... just got 'postponed' with no new date :(

NIH indirects case update:

Hearing ongoing now, and I'll try to live tweet some notable exchanges.

Prior to more detailed arguments, Judge Kelley starts off with a few point questions to both sides:

💥 Some POST DOC JOB news 👀... I'm very happy to say that @melgaby.bsky.social, @mattnour.bsky.social, @mariaeckstein.bsky.social and I have been awarded funding from @wellcometrust.bsky.social to look at how planning 📝and mental models of the world 🌍 are affected by psychosis...

So much for the grant I submitted last September, which was supposed to be reviewed next week.
Hardly the biggest tragedy on the current scale of things, but it will force me to severely downsize my already small lab.
