Position Title: Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Cognitive Neuroscience – Casey Lab

Job Description Summary

Professor BJ Casey is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join her lab. Her lab is in the Department of Neuroscience & Behavior at Barnard College, a premier liberal arts college in Manhattan affiliated with Columbia University. Imaging facilities are available at Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute which is a few blocks away. Research focuses on situational and social influences on self control, changes in basic cognitive and emotional regulation with development, especially during the extended period of adolescence, and their implication for the treatment of young people in law and policy. This individual will have opportunities to publish independent and collaborative work using both original and public access behavioral and imaging data (e.g., ABCD, HBCD, HCP, UK Biobank) and to mentor and teach undergraduates.
The position is fully funded for at least three years. Ideally the position would start in the summer of 2023, but the start date is flexible. We are looking for a highly motivated and accomplished scientist interested in cognitive control, its disruption with disease and development.

Desired qualifications:

The ideal candidate will hold a PhD in the field of psychology, neuroscience, computer or data science, physics, or physiology with brain imaging experience, computational/analytic skills, and/or proficiency in python, R, and/or MatLab. However, all candidates with a track record of scientific accomplishment and a strong interest in cognitive neuroscience are encouraged to apply.

Please submit a CV and a cover letter explaining your research and career goals. Please also include the names and contact information for three professional references.
