Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at Department of Psychology/Brain and Mind, Western University, Canada. www.jessicagrahn.com/postdoctoral-position.html The post is based in the Music and Neuroscience lab (headed by Jessica Grahn). The lab explores the links between music, rhythm, and movement using neuroscientific methods and various populations (e.g., healthy adults, neurological patient populations, non-human animals). The lab is committed to best practices in Equity and Diversity. The post-holder will play a key role in neuroimaging and possibly neuropsychological patient investigations of rhythm, timing, and music. A background in cognitive neuroscience or experimental psychology and expertise in fMRI, EEG, TMS/tDCS/tACS, or neuropsychological patient testing is preferred, but not required. Comfort with computer programming (e.g., Matlab, Python, R) would be helpful. No musical background is necessary. The successful applicant will enjoy working as part of...

The MIDUS Affective Neuroscience Project team led by Dr. Stacey M. Schaefer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Institute on Aging is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to analyze and publish on data from the national longitudinal Midlife in the US study. MIDUS is an NIA-supported study on aging explicitly focused on all the adult years (25-100+) with multiple longitudinal timepoints over the past +20 years. This is an opportunity to become part of a scientific community that is actively engaged with MIDUS and play a key role in analyzing neuroimaging data in relation to affective, psychophysiological, sociodemographic, behavioral, cognitive, biomarker, and environmental data with an emphasis on understanding the factors that are important for emotional wellbeing, brain health, and brain aging.   This fully supported appointment provides a broad, interdisciplinary experience preparing postdoctoral researchers to generate new discoveries of what happens to people,...

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher position examining behaviour change in multiple contexts, including health behaviours, personal goals, and political polarization. The postdoctoral researcher will be splitting their time between different labs, working with Drs. Marina Milyavskaya ( https://carleton.ca/goallab/ ), Rachel Burns ( https://carleton.ca/healthpsychlab/ ) and Michael Wohl ( https://carleton.ca/bettermentlabs/ ) in the Department of Psychology at Carleton University, in Ottawa, Canada. The postdoctoral researcher will work on multiple projects, including analyzing data and writing papers for a project on behaviour goal change and habits led by Drs. Milyavskaya and Burns as well as projects on attitude and behaviour change as it related to intergroup relations (e.g., increased allyship and reduced political poloarization) with Dr. Wohl.  Candidates are also encouraged to bring their ideas and prior experience to help develop and...

Post-doctoral Research Associate in Emerging Adult Mental Health and Neurocognition Candidates are being considered for a full-time postdoctoral position to work on a NIMH funded multi-site study lead by Dr. Roselinde Kaiser in the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience at the University of Colorado Boulder and Dr. Hannah Snyder in the Department of Psychology at Brandeis University. The postdoc will work jointly with both PIs and will have the option of working either from CU Boulder or Brandeis (Boston metro area) based on their geographic preference. The position is renewable for up to four years on the current grant (depending on performance), the possibility of further renewal depending on funding availability. The person who fills this position will become part of a team working on a longitudinal study with emerging adult college students that investigates neurocognitive risk and resilience for internalizing psychopathology. The study takes a longitudinal,...
