My lab is searching for a postdoctoral fellow who will contribute to an NSF project investigating eye movements and retinotopic face tuning in adults, children, and individuals with developmental prosopagnosia. 

If you're interested, please see the ad below or click here. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

Thanks,

Brad

The Social Perception Lab in Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow. We welcome applications from creative scientists who are eager to develop a research program involving psychophysics, neuropsychology, perceptual development, and individual differences. The postdoctoral fellow will play a central role in an NSF-funded project investigating eye movements and retinotopic face tuning. The project will examine preferred fixation locations and face tuning in children, adults at a variety of ages, and individuals with developmental prosopagnosia.

This is a collaborative project between Brad Duchaine at Dartmouth and Miguel Eckstein at UC-Santa Barbara. The postdoctoral fellow will be based at Dartmouth but will regularly interact with Professor Eckstein and will travel to Santa Barbara to collect data. Both supervisors are committed to the training and career development of the fellow. For more information on our work, please visit the Social Perception Lab and the Prosopagnosia Research Center.

The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth offers the best of a well-resourced, externally funded research university environment along with the integrative and cross-disciplinary nature of a liberal arts institution. In particular, our state-of-the-art research and teaching facility houses human cognitive/social neuroscience and small-animal behavioral/systems neuroscience in the same building. We have a concentration of laboratories working on vision, so the postdoctoral fellow will be part of a supportive community of vision researchers. Beyond the department, postdoctoral scholars are supported by the Guarini School for Graduate and Advanced Studies, including their diversity and inclusion initiatives. The broader neuroscience community includes research programs in the Department of Biological Sciences, Geisel School of Medicine, Thayer School of Engineering, and the cross-departmental Integrative Neuroscience at Dartmouth (IND) graduate program.

The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Dartmouth are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive population of students, faculty, and staff. Dartmouth recently launched a new initiative, Toward Equity, that embraces shared definitions of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging as a foundation for our success in institutional transformation. We are especially interested in applicants who are able to work effectively with students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds and with different identities and attributes. Our labs regularly host students participating in undergraduate diversity initiatives in STEM research, such as our Women in Science Program, E. E. Just STEM Scholars Program, and the Academic Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (ASURE).

Qualifications
Applicants should have a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, or a closely related field, or be ABD with a degree received before the start of the appointment. Qualified candidates should have experience with perception research, substantial programming experience, and an interest in individual differences and development. We also encourage enquiries from applicants with other backgrounds.

Application Instructions
Please submit all materials electronically via Interfolio:
Cover Letter that outlines your research interests and qualifications

CV, including contact information for two references.

Review of applications will begin on October 1, 2023 and continue until the position is filled. The anticipated start date is negotiable. For enquiries, please contact Professor Brad Duchaine, bradley.c.duchaine@dartmouth.edu.
