The Psycholinguistics Laboratory at the University of Alabama, directed by Dr. Luca Campanelli, is seeking applications for two part-time research assistant positions. The starting date is flexible, although a sooner start is preferred. The number of hours per week is negotiable but is expected to be between 10 and 15 hours. The location is flexible: either Tuscaloosa, Alabama, or fully remote. Compensation will be determined based on the candidate's experience. The ideal candidate is a Master's or PhD student with some background knowledge and research interests in one or more of the following areas: Natural language processing and AI/computational models of language processing that are grounded in the principles of human language and cognition; Interplay between memory and prediction functions in language processing; Theoretical and computational models of memory; Individual differences in language processing. Depending on the project, responsibilities may...

The Georgetown Lab for Relational Cognition invites applications for a postdoctoral position focused on NSF- and foundation-funded projects related to creative cognition. The post-doc will help to lead projects that use computational methods to model and foster creative thinking abilities, and that employ neuromodulation (TMS, tES) in combination with neuroimaging toward enhancing creativity and executive function. There will be ample opportunity, dependent on the post-doc’s level of interest, to engage with many other ongoing projects in the lab related to learning in real-world educational contexts, reasoning, and human character strengths and virtues. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. or anticipate a Ph.D. by spring of 2024. The projected start date for the position is spring or summer of 2024, but other starting times are possible. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Favorable consideration will be given to applicants with a...

The Georgetown Laboratory for Relational Cognition , directed by Adam Green, anticipates hiring a research coordinator. The position will focus on an NSF-funded study of concept development and reasoning in real-world high school education, and will also involve contributions to lab-based studies on cognitive and neural mechanisms of creativity. Responsibilities will include outreach to students and families as well as teachers and school administrators. Depending on level of interest, the research coordinator will have substantial opportunity to engage with all aspects of the project, including collection and analysis of behavioral and brain-imaging data. This project seeks to contribute to bridging the gap between the real-world classroom and the cognitive neuroscience laboratory. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. The preferred start date is Summer 2024. Please follow the instructions at the provided link to apply for the...

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 to begin in spring or summer 2024 (flexible start date, earlier is possible). 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...
