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...

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...
