Scotland’s University for Sporting Excellence
The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159
A postdoctoral researcher position is available at the Objects and
Knowledge Laboratory, headed by Dr. Olivia Cheung, at NYU Abu Dhabi (
https://www.oliviacheunglab.org). The postdoctoral researcher will carry
out experiments on high-level vision (e.g., object, face, letter, scene
recognition) in humans using behavioral, fMRI, and computational methods.
Potential research projects include, but are not limited to, investigations
of the influences of experience and conceptual knowledge on visual
recognition.
Apply here: https://apply.interfolio.com/145342
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience,
Cognitive Science, or a related field, and should possess strong
programming skills (e.g., R, Matlab or Python) and a strong publication
record in topics of high-level vision. Prior experience with fMRI,
computational, or psychophysical techniques is highly preferred. Initial
appointment is for two years, with the possibility of renewal. The start
date is flexible, and the position is available from August 15, 2024.
The Objects and Knowledge Laboratory is part of the rapidly growing
expertise in Cognitive Neuroscience at NYU Abu Dhabi. The lab has access to
the state-of-the-art neuroimaging and behavioral facilities (including MRI,
MEG, EEG, eyetracking).
For consideration, applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum
vita, statement of research interests, the expected date of availability,
and at least 2 letters of recommendation here
<https://apply.interfolio.com/145342>. Informal inquiries regarding the
position, university, or area, are encouraged. If you have any questions,
please email Dr. Olivia Cheung (olivia.cheung(a)nyu.edu). Applications will
be accepted immediately, and candidates will be considered until the
position is filled.
The terms of employment are very competitive, including relocation and
housing costs, and other benefits among which educational subsidies for
children. The NYU Abu Dhabi campus is located on Saadiyat Island (Abu
Dhabi’s cultural hub), minutes away from the white sand beaches as well as
