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.

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).
