Beginning August 15th, a two-year position is available for a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona.
The goal of this research program is to study the neural processes that support vision, perception and attention using functional neuoimaging (including ultra high resolution and time resolved fMRI) and behavioral (including eye-tracking) methods. Candidates will be expected to support the research goals of the PI, but will also be given the opportunity to develop more independent lines of research. The candidate will be encouraged to take advantage of the highly collaborative departmental environment. The Department of Psychology is part of the School of Mind, Brain, and Behavior (MBB), and is a member of the College of Science, in keeping with its strong research-oriented approach and scientifically-derived knowledge base. Its faculty and students interact and collaborate with those of other MBB programs and departments—Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, and Speech, Language and Hearing Science—as well as with other academic units across campus. The fMRI facilities at the University of Arizona includes a GE 3.0T Signa scanner that is fully available for research use 5 days per week. The University of Arizona is a premier (NSF ranking: # 16) public research university located in Tucson, Arizona. The sun shines nearly every day in Tucson, which is surrounded by four mountain ranges that include the southernmost downhill ski resort in the USA. Tucson also supports great opportunities for hiking and cycling, and is one of the most bicycle friendly cities in the US. Candidates must have a PhD in neuroscience or a related field and the capacity to make a substantive intellectual contribution to the research program. Candidates with previous neuroimaging experience and strong programming skills will will be preferred. Of particular interest are those candidates with experience using python-based programs such as the Vision Egg and SciPy. For more information, contact Dr. Paige Scalf (psc...@gmail.com).
