The individual will conduct postdoctoral-level research in all aspects of research including data collection, analysis, grant writing, Human Subjects Committee/Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocol submissions, preparing and publishing scientific manuscripts and other research duties as assigned.
The ideal candidate’s background will include a doctoral degree, in cognitive neuroscience, social neuroscience, clinical psychology, health psychology, or related field. We are looking for candidates with experience coordinating data analysis efforts in an active lab, including working with human research participants, experience writing scientific manuscripts. Preferred candidates will have knowledge of human neuroanatomy, experience with fMRI software packages such as AFNI, running statistical tests in programs such as SPSS and Excel, experiment presentation software such as E-Prime.
