The MSU Clinical Neuroscience lab is seeking a research associate (postdoctoral fellow) to begin in 2021. The lab uses behavioral and neuroimaging techniques to study the mechanisms of psychotic disorders. We are particularly interested in characterizing abnormal sensory and motor processes and understanding their relevance for clinical symptoms. Many of our current projects focus on visual perception and eye movements. The laboratory is located within the Department of Psychology, which provides an excellent research and training environment. The postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to contribute to ongoing NIH-funded research and to develop independent studies within the broader aims of the lab. Main responsibilities will include experimental design, data analysis, data interpretation, and manuscript preparation. In addition, this position may involve some data collection and supervision of undergraduate students. Provided expertise in this area, this position will also involve conducting or supervising clinical interviews. We strongly believe that science is a team effort and that diversity within this team is integral to creativity and discovery. As such, we encourage applications from those individuals who identify as members of marginalized or historically disadvantaged groups. We strive towards creating an inclusive lab climate and a training environment that supports the needs of all individuals.
