The Melcher Perception and Active Cognition Laboratory in the Division of Science, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a Research Associate who will lead cutting-edge research investigating how temporal factors in neural processing play a critical role in perception and cognition. These studies will use eyetracking, EEG/MEG and behavioral measures. This research builds on work in the Melcher Lab showing how the brain?s time frames, as measured by neural oscillations, play a role in organizing and aligning perception, attention, cognition and action. The Research Associate will lead both fundamental/basic research projects and also more applied projects that explore Individual and clinical differences in temporal processing.
Applicants must have a Master?s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychology or Neuroscience. Excellent experimental and neuroimaging skills relevant to the project are required, as demonstrated by publication in international scientific journals with a good ranking.
For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, statement of research interests,transcript, and the names of three referees who have agreed to provide a letter, all in PDF format. The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. If you have any questions, please email Prof. Melcher at david.melcher@nyu.edu .
