[visionlist] Post-Doc Position at Brown University for Perception, Cognition and Action

[Song, Joo-Hyun]

A postdoctoral position is open in the Perception, Action & Cognition (PAC)
lab led by Dr. Joo-Hyun Song, Department of Cognitive, Linguistic &
Psychological Sciences (CLPS) at Brown University (Providence, RI).


We investigate the underlying mechanisms involved in integrating
visually-guided action and higher-order cognitive and perceptual processes
such as time perception, visual memory, attention as well as visuomotor
learning, using techniques of psychophysics, behavioral measurements of eye
and arm movement trajectories, pupillometry, functional neuroimaging (fMRI)
and EEG. General information about the lab’s research at interests can be
found http://research.clps.brown.edu/songlab.


We are seeking highly qualified individuals with a Ph.D. in a relevant
field (e.g., Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science) and shared
interests in the core research area. In particular, we are looking for a
post-doc who can join the project, addressing mechanisms* of perceptual
enhancement by action preparation* in collaboration with Dr. Yaffa Yeshrun
(University of Haifa), supported by NSF.



Experience with rigorous psychophysics and time series analysis for
goal-directed action is highly desirable. Experience with online reaching
and eye movement tracking including pupilometry or other techniques such as
EEG is also welcome. Excellent programming skills are essential (e.g.
Matlab, Unix, R). Excellent communication and writing skills are critical.
Expertise in advanced statistics or computational methods is also
desirable.


To apply, please send a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and
the names of three references. Questions and/or application materials
should be emailed to joo-hyun_song at brown.edu.

This is a full-time, 1-year position with the possibility of renewal based
on satisfactory performance. A starting date is preferred to be July 1,
2024 but negotiable.
