The Center of Brain and Health at New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to
recruit two postdoctoral associates for two projects: 1) a project on the
mechanisms underlying rapid perception and cognition, and 2) a project on
the neural mechanisms underlying interactions of visual and conceptual
systems.
*Project 1: Mechanisms underlying rapid perception and cognition*
*(PI: Prof. David Melcher, Perception and Active Cognition Laboratory)*
Attention, perception, working memory and other aspects of cognition are
limited by time constraints that are linked to the temporal scales of
neural activity. On the one hand, we can find general principles linking
ongoing brain rhythms to the temporal unfolding of thought, from the
sampling rate of sensory perception to the maintenance of active
representations in memory. However, there are also large individual
differences in processing speed within the healthy adult population, across
the developmental lifespan, and when considering clinical and neurological
patient groups. The successful applicant will drive a fascinating project
on the neural correlates of these individual and clinical differences in
speed of information processing.
*Project 2: Neural mechanisms underlying interactions of visual and
conceptual systems*
*(PI: Prof. Olivia Cheung, Objects And Knowledge Laboratory)*
High-level vision, which involves transforming visual inputs into
meaningful concepts such as faces, words, animals, human-made objects, and
scenes, is essential for humans to understand and interact with their
environment. This process relies on a cortical network that supports
perception, learning, memory, and prediction. The study of high-level
vision provides a window into how learning and experience impact the human
brain. The successful applicant will lead a project investigating the
complex nature of semantic associations and image statistics on category
selectivity, using machine learning and multivariate pattern analysis
techniques. To distinguish the cortical networks and behavioral markers
that are common across categories or unique to specific categories, the
project involves characterizing the similarities and differences in the
processing of multiple categories in healthy and clinical populations.
The positions are funded for two years with the possibility of renewal.
Required expertise includes strong knowledge of cognitive neuroscience and
expertise in at least one of the neuroimaging methodologies involved in the
project (fMRI, EEG or MEG). For a competitive application at the
postdoctoral level, candidates should demonstrate experience in leading
neuroimaging studies, as shown by publications in international scientific
journals. The successful candidates will work in a multidisciplinary Center
environment with world-class research infrastructure, consisting of
PhD-level scientists, graduate students and undergraduate students.
The terms of employment are extremely competitive and include housing and
educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted
immediately and candidates will be considered until the positions are
filled.

Hello,
The Social Perception Lab at Dartmouth has an open lab manager / RA
position. The position is funded by an NIH grant to investigate the
cognitive and neural basis of developmental prosopagnosia. It requires
strong programming skills and an interest in perception, neuroscience, and
neuropsychology. can provide a good springboard into a PhD program.

Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to you regarding the Society for Affective Science (SAS) and its annual meeting, which will be held in-person from Thursday, March 30 - Saturday, April 1, 2023 in Long Beach, California, USA.
On behalf of the SAS membership and outreach committee, I encourage you and your trainees to attend. SAS is an excellent venue for learning about what’s new in affective science and presenting research. The interdisciplinary nature of the program is also uniquely beneficial.
In the call for abstracts below, you will find highlights of the upcoming meeting and opportunities for you and your trainees to submit abstracts for presentation.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope you will join us in Long Beach, CA at the 2023 SAS meeting!
All the best,

SAS 2023 Call for Abstracts - Submissions Open
The Society for Affective Science (SAS) is delighted to open its call for abstracts to be considered for the 2023 Annual Conference. The conference will be held in an in-person format between Thursday, March 30 – Saturday, April 1, 2023 in Long Beach, California, USA. The conference will once again feature Preconference sessions and these will take place on Thursday, March 30th, 2023 prior to the opening of the Conference.
We encourage submissions from authors at all career stages.
There is no fee to submit an abstract. The conference registration fees will be announced soon.
Abstract Submissions – Main Conference
Four submission types:
Note: Each presenting author may submit a maximum of TWO abstracts, which have to be submitted to two different tracks (Poster: New Idea, Poster: New Results, Flash Talk, and Symposium). Abstracts submitted by the same presenter must reflect two different research projects. There is no abstract limit for non-presenting authors.
· Poster: New Idea - Showcasing a new research idea, complete with planned experimental design(s) and analysis approach(es). Data are not required, but pilot data for proof of concept are welcome. Work already pre-registered in another platform is admissible. New theoretical contributions are also welcome in this category.
· Poster: New Results - Showcasing the latest findings in affective science based on quantitative and/or qualitative data collected and analyzed. We welcome and encourage preliminary work!
· Flash Talk - Showcasing the latest findings based on quantitative and/or qualitative data already collected and analyzed or new theoretical contributions in affective science. Both junior and senior researchers are eligible to deliver a flash talk.
· Symposium - Set of talks providing an in-depth perspective on individual research areas/topics within affective science. Sessions can be comprised of 3 talks with a discussant or 4 talks. All symposia must be chaired.
Advancing Interdisciplinary Science
In line with our goal to facilitate interdisciplinarity, we welcome submissions from across all domains of affective science, including anthropology, business, computer science, cultural studies, economics, education, geography, history, integrative medicine, law, linguistics, literature, neuroscience, philosophy, political science, psychiatry, psychology, public health, sociology, theater, and more.

Abstract Submissions - Preconference
This year, SAS is hosting 3 preconferences: Positive Emotions, Intergroup Emotions, and Emotion Regulation on Thursday, March 30, 2023.
· Positive Emotions Preconference will feature the latest interdisciplinary research on positive affect. The day will explore a wide range of research related to positive emotions in educational, clinical, social, organizational, consumer, and cross-cultural contexts. Additionally, the preconference will include an interactive poster session and conclude with a final session on the future of positive emotion research. Flash talk and poster submission will be accepted.
· Intergroup Emotions Preconference will focus on the role of emotions in political processes, including political polarization, voting, collective action, political violence, and upholding democracy. With the political turmoil that has risen in the last decade across the world, understanding the impact that emotions have on political processes is paramount. Flash talk and poster submission will be accepted.
· Emotion Regulation Preconference will feature emotion regulation research from various disciplines and topics, consider emotion regulation from different perspectives, and share exciting new findings and methods. It will feature a range of formats from short talks to panel discussions to breakout groups. Our goal is to have fun, build connections among those interested in emotion regulation (faculty, post-docs, students), and share ideas about new directions in emotion regulation research. Invited talks only.
