The Computing Religious Devotion project (CREDO; see https://www.levyna.cz/en/about-us/research/credo-project) is a five-year project (2024-2028) funded by the Czech Science Foundation and is based at Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic). The CREDO project develops a computational model of moral decision-making in which religious belief, consolidated through practice and institutional enforcement, forms strong cognitive priors that bias evidence accumulation and action selection during normative decisions. The empirical backbone of the project is a large-scale cross-cultural study spanning 20 societies and two religious traditions per site designed to establish how the beliefs, practices, and orthodoxy of distinct religious traditions translate into measurable differences in cognitive computations (to be launched in 2026). Specifically, the project aims to determine how religious priors shape the strength of ingroup cooperation and outgroup harm biases, and how exposure to interreligious conflict modulates the updating of those priors from incoming experiential evidence. The goal is a theoretically grounded, empirically validated model of how religious traditions shape the mind. The successful candidate will lead experimental testing of the predictions from the computational model of religious decision-making in cooperation with the Principal Investigator, Dr. Martin Lang and another postdoctoral researcher with skills in cognitive science of religion and cultural evolution. The main responsibility of the successful candidate will be to work with large-scale behavioural datasets from 20 field sites, coordinating data quality and model fitting across a highly diverse sample, analyse the data and report them in a scientific paper. The successful candidate will also work in a fully equipped lab (EEG, fNIRS, BIOPAC) where they can design and test their own studies on the topic of normative decision-making. The candidate will be given significant responsibility and autonomy while also benefiting from the mentorship of the PI, playing a crucial role in forming the CREDO project as well as future research areas for the whole lab. MAIN JOB CONTENT Framework Collaborating with the project team (PI, 2 postdocs, 2 Phd students) to design and execute laboratory studies and especially a cross cultural study investigating computations underlying moral decision-making. Fitting computational models (e.g., drift-diffusion, reinforcement learning) to empirical data. Statistical analysis. Writing research articles for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
