The UNR Psychology Department also maintains a shared research space with additional tools, including fNIRS, tDCS/ACS, electroretinography, and adaptive optics. Opportunities for collaboration are many and supported by joint lab meetings, weekly research seminars, and interdepartmental colloquia.

The initial appointment is for two years, with the possibility of an extension pending funding. Salary and benefits are commensurate with NIH pay scales. Start date is flexible (on or after July 1st 2021).
