Job Information

The Neural Dynamics of Control Laboratory (NDCLab), along with the Child Anxiety and Phobia Program (CAPP), both housed within Florida International University’s Center for Children and Families (CCF) and Department of Psychology are seeking a talented postdoctoral scholar with prior expertise in EEG and an interest in conducting cutting-edge research at the intersection of clinical psychology and developmental neuroscience. The primary focus of this position is to collaborate on multiple projects investigating anxiety and EEG/eye-tracking markers of attention and cognitive control in adolescents. Located within an international, multicultural urban setting, the Center for Children and Families, a Preeminent Program at FIU and the Department of Psychology, ranked 2nd in the country for research funding, offers a stimulating research environment full of collaborative and networking opportunities.

The position involves implementing high-density EEG, eye-tracking, managing data collection, analysis, and preparing manuscripts. Opportunities to engage, or train, in time-frequency and/or source localization EEG methods are also readily available as part of this position. The candidate will be mentored in leading independent research projects including grant applications and publishing with a highly productive research team. The breadth of training experiences will be useful for a variety of academic career paths. The position is currently open and the initial position duration is for at least 2 years.

Desired Qualifications: The applicant must have a PhD in a relevant domain of Psychology (e.g., Developmental, Clinical), Neuroscience, or related field by the time the position begins (strong applicants who are ABD, but close to defense may be considered). Prior expertise in EEG data collection and ERP-based analyses, or eye-tracking data collection and analyses,  are a requirement for this position. Experience implementing EEG in the context of clinical/developmental research is not a requirement, although preference will be given to candidates with a background in these areas. Similarly, prior experience in one or more relevant programming languages (MATLAB, R, and/or Python) is strongly preferred but is not a requirement for this position.

Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply to Job Opening ID 529663 at facultycareers.fiu.edu and attach a cover letter and CV. Candidates will be requested to provide names and contact information for three (3) references who will be contacted as determined by the search committee.
