[CogSci] Postdoctoral position in cognitive science / cognitive neuroscience at UCLA (Idan A. Blank)

[Idan Blank]

The BlankLangLab in UCLA’s Psychology Department is recruiting a creative, self-motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to lead research on language comprehension and representation of meaning using functional neuroimaging and/or computational modeling methods, in combination with behavioral experiments. Depending on the interests and progress of the post-doc, they will also be mentored in developing their own research program in a domain that fits within the scope of the lab’s work.

QUALIFICATIONS. The successful candidate will have all of the following:
* A PhD in cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology / psycholinguistics, computer science, or a related field.
* Experience either in (1) fMRI experimental design, processing and analysis (TMS experience is encouraged); or (2) computational cognitive science (broadly defined).
* Strong quantitative statistical skills.
* Strong computer programming skills (Matlab/Python required; R highly desirable).
* Ability to productively contribute in a fast-paced, collaborative setting.
* Commitment to open science practices.
​
APPOINTMENT. The anticipated start date is fall 2019 or later (flexible). The initial appointment is for one year, with a strong possibility of reappointment for a second year pending progress review. Further renewals are dependent on securing external funding by the PI and/or candidate. Compensation and benefits are commensurate with UCLA’s guidelines.
​
APPLICATION. Please send a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and the names and contact information of two potential recommenders to Idan A. Blank (psych_iblank at ad.ucla.edu<mailto:psych_iblank at ad.ucla.edu>). I particularly welcome applications from members of traditionally underrepresented groups, as I am strongly committed to diversity in science. The position will remain open until filled.
