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...

The Department of Psychology at Wesleyan University seeks candidates for two tenure-track positions in neuroscience. We are searching for two broadly-trained cognitive neuroscientists with research programs focused on any area in cognitive neuroscience. The appointment is for the Assistant Professor level, and scheduled to begin on July 1, 2026. A Ph.D. in Psychology in hand by the time of appointment is required to be hired as an Assistant Professor; a successful candidate may be hired at the instructor level pending completion of the Ph.D. requirements within one year of hire. An ideal candidate will have a doctoral degree in psychology (with a specialization in neuroscience) or in neuroscience, and will be qualified for a secondary appointment in Wesleyan’s Neuroscience and Behavior Program. They will have a promising research program focused on human populations (healthy or clinical), that utilizes experimental and/or computational methods, and may, for example,...
