Research Associate x 2 (Fixed Term) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge.
Two Postdoctoral Scholar Positions at Washington University in St. Louis
We are looking for two highly motivated postdoctoral scholars to work on NSF and DoD funded projects. One postdoctoral scholar will use human single-neuron recordings to study the neural circuits underlying social attention, and the other postdoctoral scholar will use multimodal neuroimaging techniques to study social behavior and brain networks in people with autism. The research will be conducted in a highly collaborative environment using state-of-the-art equipment, facilities, and analytical methods. The postdoctoral scholars will collaborate with an established team of investigators within and outside WashU and have ample opportunity to learn new techniques and methods.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in systems, cognitive, or computational neuroscience, or in physics, electrical engineering, or computer science, with relevant research expertise in neuroscience. Applicants must also have strong programming (Matlab or similar) skills. Individuals with previous human intracranial EEG expertise and/or macaque single-neuron recordings that wish to expand into human single-unit recordings are encouraged to apply.
Our lab combines multimodal and advanced measurement techniques with sophisticated computational approaches to understand the neural mechanisms and neural computations underlying social attention, face processing, emotion, memory, and decision making. Overarching questions involve how the brain figures out what is important in the environment, how socially relevant stimuli pop out and attract attention, how faces are processed and represented in general, and how memory is modulated by attention. We are particularly interested in the neural computations underlying these cognitive processes: multimodal approaches allow us to investigate these questions from the microscopic single-neuron and neural circuit level using our state-of-the-art human single-neuron recordings as well as macroscopic level using fMRI, EEG, and intracranial EEG (sEEG and ECoG). These multimodal experimental approaches are powered by sophisticated computational approaches that can deal with complex and large datasets.
The Wang Neuroscience Lab is housed in the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR) at the Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM) in St Louis. WUSM is a world class research intensive academic health center that is consistently ranked among the nation’s research-oriented medical schools. Additionally, it is nationally known for its attractive campus, which borders residential neighborhoods and one of the nation’s largest urban parks. St. Louis is consistently rated a Forbes most affordable city with vibrant music, food and park scene, and has one of the fastest growing start-up communities with impressive accelerator and incubator services available through the Biogenerator, Cambridge Innovation Center, and Cortex Innovation District.

Wang Neuroscience Lab
Neuroscience lab by Shuo Wang
Postdoctoral Associate for the Morality Lab at Boston College
Position category: Post-doctoral
Name of lab: Morality Lab
Supervisor: Liane Young
Open until filled
Denoscription:
The Morality Lab at Boston College, led by Liane Young, is seeking a postdoctoral associate. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position has been filled, with the position starting as early as January 2022 and no later than July 2022.
Boston College is a research university with a strong and growing psychology department, located in an academic hub city with many opportunities for cross-lab collaboration. Members of the Morality Lab research diverse topics related to social and moral cognition; for example, the impact of social norms on virtuous behavior, social learning and prediction error, the tradeoff between principles of moral obligation and impartiality, perceptions of reputation signaling and norm signaling, and judgments of others’ actions vs. words. The lab uses behavioral methods (e.g., online data collection), fMRI, TMS, and computational modeling, in both typical and atypical populations, adults and children. Learn more by visiting https://moralitylab.bc.edu/.
This position is fully funded for one year and is renewable for two additional years, contingent on performance. Salary is competitive and follows NIH stipend guidelines. Candidates of any background are encouraged to apply, but ideal candidates will have experience with neuroimaging techniques and analysis (SPM, FSL, etc.), as well as strong quantitative and programming skills (e.g., MATLAB, Python, R). Candidates whose work bridges disciplines (e.g., between developmental and moral psychology, or cognitive and social neuroscience), as in the case of our former postdoctoral associates, may also be particularly suited for this position.
To apply, please email Aditi Kodipady (kodipady@bc.edu) and Liane Young (liane.young@bc.edu) with a CV (noscriptd ‘LastName_CV’) and a statement of your current and future research interests. Please also provide contact information for three references and include “Morality Lab Postdoc Application 2022” in the subject line of any correspondence.
Review of applications will start immediately and proceed until the position is filled. Women, LGBTQ and under-represented minority applicants are encouraged to apply. Boston College is An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. In addition to comprehensive health and dental insurance plans, Boston College offers many other benefits, including various types of insurance coverage, tuition remission opportunities, a 401(k) plan match, and a significant number of paid holidays and vacation days.
