Villanova University invites applications for a Mendel Science Experience Postdoctoral Fellowship within the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences<https://www1.villanova.edu/university/liberal-arts-sciences/programs/psychological-brain-sciences.html>, in the area of human cognition/cognitive neuroscience. The position has a starting date of August 2024. Review of applications will begin around February 19, 2024, and the search will remain open until the position is filled.

The Fellow position is 50:50 research and teaching and is designed to foster the professional development of recent Ph.D. recipients on a career path leading to faculty positions. The Fellow will conduct research in collaboration with the faculty mentor (Dr. Irene Kan<http://www05.homepage.villanova.edu/irene.kan>) and will have opportunities to participate in ongoing interdisciplinary collaborative projects on a range of topics, including driver performance, perceptions of disability, gait analysis in older adults, and health disparities. Finally, the Fellow will be provided with a research budget ($4,000/year) to supplement resources available in the lab and the department.

In addition, the Fellow will gain formal teaching experience, including teaching a laboratory science course on “Neuroscience of Sleep” and develop undergraduate courses in psychological science and/or cognitive neuroscience. Initial appointment is for two years, with a third year possible by mutual agreement between the fellow and faculty mentor.

Candidates with a Ph.D. in Psychology, Neuroscience, Neuropsychology, or a related field and research interest in human cognition and/or sleep are encouraged to apply. Applicants with expertise in human memory, sleep health and/or aging will be particularly well suited for this position.
