Research Associate in Psychology

The DiNicola Lab at the University of Virginia Department of Psychology invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Position.

Our lab uses a precision neuroscience approach (i.e., repeated scanning of individuals) to explore: (1) how human brains are organized into large-scale networks, (2) how those networks support cool cognitive functions (like memory, social inference & cognitive control), and (3) how networks might change over time.

This position will specifically require working on an NIMH funded project to characterize the organization of brain networks within repeatedly-sampled adolescents and to examine how network metrics might change across this interesting developmental window. Through this project, the postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for studies analyzing a unique, recently-acquired dataset of densely-sampled adolescents.

Qualification Requirements:

• Candidates must have received their PhD in psychology, neuroscience or a closely related field by the appointment start date.

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience with functional magnetic resonance imaging data analysis, precision tools and/or developmental methods strongly preferred.
• The candidate must have strong leadership, organizational and project management skills.
• The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to develop their own research interests, write research papers, and help mentor students in the lab.

Estimated Salary range is $60,000 - $65,000, commensurate with experience.

This is a one-year appointment, with renewal contingent upon job performance and continuation of funding.
