I am seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to join a project that uses fMRI, behavioral psychophysics, and eye-tracking to investigate the neural basis of real-world object perception. This role offers opportunities to work with adults,
children, and patient populations with unique perceptual profiles. The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with Dr. Walsh-Snow and collaborators, including Dr. Marlene Behrmann (University of Pittsburgh), and will travel to Pittsburgh for portions of the
fMRI data collection.</div>
