Overview The Meta-Cognition and Applied Memory Lab at Tufts University invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate to contribute to ongoing NSF Growing Convergence Research projects examining how students experience and respond to uncertainty during STEM learning. In this work, uncertainty refers to situations in which learners encounter information they cannot immediately interpret, resolve, or integrate. This includes moments of confusion during problem solving, conflicting interpretations of data, incomplete or ambiguous explanations, and breakdowns in understanding while learning new concepts. These experiences can lead to productive engagement and deeper learning, or to disengagement and avoidance, depending on how they are interpreted and regulated. What You'll Do The research focuses on identifying the cognitive, affective, and social processes that shape these responses. Current projects examine how students monitor and interpret...

Postdoctoral Fellow Opening   The Cognition and Affect Regulation Lab , directed by Dr. Jonathan Stange in the Department of Psychology at the University of Southern California (USC), is seeking a neuroimaging-focused postdoctoral fellow. This position will be funded by an NIH R01 and offers competitive salary and benefits.   Our lab seeks to identify cognitive and affective processes that are involved in the regulation of negative affect, in an effort to understand vulnerability factors for mood disorders and suicide. This work involves laboratory-based measures of brain activity (using fMRI), autonomic nervous system functioning (electrocardiogram and respiration), and behavior (executive functioning tasks and questionnaires). In addition, to understand behavior outside of the lab in the real world, we utilize ambulatory assessment to measure fluctuations in autonomic functioning (with wearables), sleep quality (with actigraphy), affect and regulation...
