hire a post-doctoral research fellow to conduct research on
emotion-attention links and aging. The position would be for one year,
with the possibility of renewal for a second year, and could start as

studies investigating the attentional mechanisms underlying age
differences in emotion regulation and emotion recognition, using

measurement. There is also the opportunity to conduct analyses of
already-collected data, as well as to mentor graduate and undergraduate
students in the lab.

experience with any of the following is desirable but not required: eye
tracking, psychophysiology research, multi-level modeling, Matlab
programming.
