Cognitive neuroscience of attention (Postdoctoral Position)
Woldorff Lab, Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, Duke University
We are currently accepting applications for NIH-funded postdoctoral positions to study the neural and cognitive mechanisms of visual, auditory, and multisensory attention, perception, and cognitive control. These studies employ fMRI, ERPs, and oscillatory EEG measures of brain activity in order to delineate both the brain areas involved and the timing and sequence of their activations, thereby enhancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
Excellent research resources and environment, including high-density ERP recording facilities, state-of-the-art 3T MRI scanners fully dedicated to neuroimaging research, and MR-compatible EEG equipment for simultaneous fMRI and EEG recordings. Nearby clinical resources include Duke Hospital and the adjacent Durham VA Hospital. International collaborative arrangements also allow for access to state-of-the-art MEG facilities.
Desirable candidates will have a background in attention, perception, and/or cognitive control research, expertise in either fMRI or EEG/ERP methods, and strong computer skills. Of particular interest would be candidates with fMRI experience who are interested in combined fMRI/EEG approaches. For additional information, contact Dr. Woldorff at [log in to unmask]
