Post Doctoral Position - Available Now
Applications are invited for a funded postdoctoral position in the Yantis Lab. We investigate the cognitive and neural basis of attention and cognitive control by measuring the speed and accuracy of hand and eye movements, and patterns of brain activity using functional MRI. We are located on JHU’s beautiful Homewood Campus, and we collect fMRI data at the Kirby Center for Functional Neuroimaging. My lab is a member of the JHU Vision Sciences Group which includes labs from several JHU departments with related interests in visual perception and cognition.
Candidates who have completed or will soon complete a PhD in psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, or a related field, who have demonstrated experience with both behavioral and neuroimaging methods, and who have extensive experience with MATLAB and related software are invited to apply.
Applicants should email a CV, a brief statement of research experience and interests, links to relevant publications, the expected date of availability, and the names and email addresses of at least two referees to <yantis@jhu.edu>.
