POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN FACE PERCEPTION AND AGING
An NIH-funded postdoctoral research position is available in the Brandeis University Psychology Department Face Perception Laboratory, led by Dr. Leslie Zebrowitz. The successful applicant will work on studies investigating perceptual, neural, and motivational mechanisms for aging-related changes in the accuracy of trait impressions from faces, conducted in collaboration with Dr. Nouchine Hadjikhani at the MGH/MIT/Harvard Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging. The Brandeis psychology department has a strong interdisciplinary focus with NIH training grants focusing on aging in a social context and on the interplay of brain, body, and behavior. Opportunities are available for training in research labs involving lifespan development and aging, neuroimaging, eye-tracking, and neuroendocrine assessments.
Strong statistical and writing skills are essential, and familiarity with SPSS, media lab, E-prime software, and working with large data bases are desirable. This is a full-time, 1 year position with a preferred start date of August-September, 2011, although that date is flexible. The salary follows NIH guidelines, and renewal is possible for a second year based on satisfactory performance. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. To apply, please send a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and three letters of recommendation. Questions and/or application materials should be emailed to zebrowitz@brandeis.edu. Meeting could be arranged at APS.
Brandeis University is an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual community, and strongly encourages applications from women and minority candidates.
