This historical listing is retained for reference. It is not presented as an active vacancy.
A postdoctoral position is immediately available at the University of California, Riverside to work with a research team led by Dr. Weiwei Zhang (https://memory.ucr.edu). The postdoc will work on a NIMH-funded project (1R01MH117132-01) on the neural mechanisms for mnemonic precision using psychophysics, cognitive modeling, eye tracking, ERP, non-invasive brain stimulation, and neuroimaging methods in healthy and clinical populations. We are seeking an individual with a strong background in fMRI and interests in attention and memory research. Good quantitative and programming skills are essential as well. Experience with eye tracking and ERPs is preferred, but not required.
The position is an annual assignment, renewable contingent upon performance and funding. Salary will depend on experience, with a minimum set by the University of California postdoc salary scale (which is higher than NIH scale). Both U.S. and international applicants are welcome to apply.
Candidates should send a cover letter, CV, sample publications, statement of research interests, and the names of three references with phone numbers and email addresses to: Weiwei Zhang (Weiwei.zhang@ucr.edu). Review of materials will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
