A postdoctoral position is open in the Perception, Action & Cognition (PAC) lab led by Dr. Joo-Hyun Song, Department of Cognitive, Linguistic & Psychological Sciences (CLPS) at Brown University (Providence, RI).

We investigate the behavioral and neural mechanisms involved in integrating visually-guided action and higher-order cognitive processes such as decision-making, target selection, visual memory, and attention as well as visuomotor learning. We use the techniques of psychophysics, behavioral measurements of the eye and arm movement trajectories, functional neuroimaging (fMRI), and EEG. This is a full-time, 1-year position with the possibility of renewal based on satisfactory performance.
