Postdoctoral Research Opportunity: The George Washington University

We are excited to announce that we anticipate two postdoctoral positions becoming available to work with Drs. Stephen Mitroff and Dwight Kravitz in the Cognitive Neuroscience Program in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at The George Washington University. The project will be in collaboration with the US Army Research Laboratory. The research focus is on using big data to understand the intricacies of human variability and the impact of human complexity on research practices. The project aims to inform basic science questions about appropriate experimental procedures and underlying mechanisms of human performance in complex environments. There is also an interest in exploring how basic science research practices can be modernized to improve the speed and effectiveness of translation into real-world applications.

More information on the labs can be seen here: http://www.mitrofflab.org and https://psychology.columbian.gwu.edu/dwight-kravitz.

Knowledge of vision and attention research is preferred, and strong statistical modeling and programming abilities are required (e.g., Python/MATLAB). The start date is flexible.

A formal application process has not opened yet so interested applicants should email Steve Mitroff at mitroff at gwu.edu and Dwight Kravitz at kravitzd at gwu.edu. Please include a CV and the names and contact information for 2 references.
