Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Psychology McGill University, Montreal, Canada The McGill Intergroup Cognition Laboratory at McGill University in Montreal [miclab.ca], directed by Jordan Axt, is seeking applications for a Post-Doctoral Researcher, beginning Fall 2021. The contract is for one year, with option of renewal pending satisfactory performance. POSITION DESCRIPTION : The ideal candidate will be interested in contributing to on-going research in the lab. One trajectory broadly examines the methods, validity, interpretation, and application of measures of implicit social cognition. The other examines the development and impact of social biases in judgment, and how such biases can be reduced. The post-doc could be interested in either, or both, of these areas of research.  The lab uses a wide variety of methodological techniques and focuses on a broad range of intergroup contexts, such as race, gender identity, religion, age, and physical attractiveness. Lab...

POSTGRADUATE ASSOCIATE – Emotion Regulation Project Team The Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, part of the Child Study Center at the Yale University School of Medicine, conducts research and teaches people of all ages how to develop their emotional intelligence. Our work focuses on (1) the development and impact of social and emotional skills among diverse populations, including education settings and organizations, and (2) the mechanisms by which social and emotional skills and training impact significant life outcomes. We are looking for a  Postgraduate Associate (PGA) to join the Emotion Regulation Team. This team is working on an innovative, multi-year initiative funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The goal of this project is to develop novel tools for assessing emotion regulation knowledge and  emotion regulation ability in working adults based on leading theories in the field. These new emotional intelligence assessments will incorporate rigorous...

The Department of Psychology at Murray State University seeks to fill a tenure-track assistant professor position beginning August 2021.  Candidates must be able to teach courses in biopsychology and must provide evidence of excellence in teaching, the ability to establish an active research program, and the interest and ability to involve undergraduate and master’s level graduate students in their research as well as direct undergraduate research projects and graduate theses.  Candidates must have a PhD in Psychology.  The PhD must be completed by time of appointment.  ABDs with a documented plan of completion by appointment date will be considered.

Postdoctoral Position Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment Department of Psychiatry Dr. Jennifer Foss-Feig, Assistant Professor at the Seaver Autism Center at Mount Sinai, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to assist with EEG, MRI, and eye tracking studies of neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr. Foss-Feig’s lab investigates neural mechanisms associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), with an emphasis on sensory and perceptual processing abnormalities that are linked to specific mechanistic hypotheses (e.g., excitatory/inhibitory imbalance). The lab also emphasizes a cross-diagnostic approach, with a focus on exploring the overlap between ASD and schizophrenia. Additional work in the lab takes a genetics-first approach, exploring neural profiles in monogenic syndromes (i.e., Phelan- McDermid syndrome, Fragile X syndrome) that are associated with ASD. Methods in the lab include EEG, MRI, eye tracking, and psychophysics-based approaches. Studies are conducted...
