Form of workPsychology: Trawick Postdoctoral Fellow (Cognitive Neuroscience) - 000669
The University of Richmond Department of Psychology invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Cognitive Neuroscience to begin in July 2024.
The fellowship is designed to enhance the candidate's scholarship and provide teaching experience for a career in academia. The candidate will work collaboratively with Dr. Cindy Bukach investigating how category specific effects (in particular face perception and other-race effects) emerge, generalize, and transform with changes in experience and context, using both behavioral and ERP techniques. Applicants should hold a PhD in a related field (e.g., psychology, cognitive science, or neuroscience) and have significant research experience with EEG including experiment design, programming, data collection, and statistical analysis. Proven skills in generating publication quality data, and scholarly writing will be an advantage. Programming skills and a background in face/object recognition or social neuroscience are desirable as well. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to mentoring undergraduates and will work independently and collaboratively on research with Dr. Cindy Bukach and her undergraduate research students and will teach two units per academic year.
The University of Richmond is a private university located just a short drive from downtown Richmond, Virginia. Through its five schools and wide array of campus programming, the University combines the best qualities of a small liberal arts college and a large university. With approximately 4,000 students, an 8:1 student-faculty ratio, and more than 90% of traditional undergraduate students living on campus, the University is remarkably student-centered, focused on preparing students "to live lives of purpose, thoughtful inquiry, and responsible leadership in a global and pluralistic society."
The University of Richmond is committed to developing a diverse workforce and student body, and to modeling an inclusive campus community which values the expression of difference in ways that promote excellence in teaching, learning, personal development, and institutional success. Our academic community strongly encourages applications that are in keeping with this commitment. For more information on the department and its programs, please see https://psychology.richmond.edu/.
Applicants should apply online at http://jobs.richmond.edu. Applicants will be asked to submit a curriculum vitae, cover letter and a research statement. The cover letter should include comments on and any evidence of a commitment to undergraduate education and inclusive pedagogy. Candidates for this position may be asked, at a later date, to provide the names and contact information for three references who will be asked to submit letters of recommendation. Review of applications will commence immediately and continue until the position is filled. Inquiries about the position may be sent to Cindy Bukach at cbukach@richmond.edu.
