POSITION SPECIFICS The Cognition, Affect, and Temperament Laboratory at The Pennsylvania State University , headed by Dr. Koraly Pérez-Edgar, seeks a Postdoctoral Scholar ( http://www.catlabpsu.com ). Ideal start date would be early fall. The postdoctoral scholar will have the opportunity to work on NIH-funded studies investigating a number of complex biological, cognitive, and social mechanisms that shape early trajectories. The primary studies will be: P-CAT, an NIMH-funded longitudinal study that will examine parental transmission of anxiety to preschool children. This project includes fNIRS (parent-child interpersonal neural synchronization), EEG, and behavioral coding and will focus on parent-child interaction and socialization of anxious behaviors through child observation. A sub-aim of the study focuses on anxiety transmission in fathers. HBCD, a consortium study linking 25 sites across the country. The HEALthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study will create a representative sample of families, recruited in pregnancy, and then followed in the first decade of life. Findings from this cohort study will provide a template of normative neurodevelopment in infants and young children and help untangle the impacts of perinatal exposures to substances and childhood environments on developmental trajectories. Data from this comprehensive study will include infant MRI, EEG, neurodevelopmental testing, biospecimens, observed behavior, and parental report. The post-doctoral scholar will also have the opportunity to contribute to and work with data from a number of studies. One example includes: LAnT, a completed NIMH-funded longitudinal study that examined the role of attention and temperament in the early emergence of social behavior and anxiety symptoms in the first two years of life. We completed data collection with 357 families, providing rich data for follow up analyses and publications. Data from this study include EEG, eye-tracking, observed social behavior, and parental report The postdoctoral scholar will have his or her main hub at PSU University Park, but will interact extensively with collaborators at multiple sites, including Washington University in St. Louis and the Penn State College of Medicine. Depending on the scholars focus, the work will incorporate a number of techniques, including electrophysiology (EEG & ERP), psychophysiology (RSA), neuroimaging (fNIRS, MRI), eye-tracking (mobile & stationary), direct behavioral observation, and questionnaires. This work will take advantage of the University’s broad resources, including the Child Study Center ( http://csc.psych.psu.edu/ ). The postdoctoral scholar will primarily be responsible for collecting and analyzing data and writing scientific papers and presentations. Other duties will include working with research staff and graduate and undergraduate students. A Ph.D. in Psychology, Human Development, Neuroscience or related field is required by the appointment date. This is a non-tenure-track position. Position qualifications include experience with neuroimaging (fMRI, fNIRS, or EEG) acquisition and analysis; strong experimental and statistical skills; ability to work independently and in a team environment on multiple tasks and projects and to share one’s expertise with others. Experience with data collection platforms (e.g., BrainVision, Mindware, SMI), programming tasks (E-prime, Presentation), statistical analysis (R, SPSS, SAS) and general computing (MATLAB, Unix, Python) is highly desired. Excellent scientific writing skills are also desired. Interested candidates must submit an online application, and should upload the following application materials: a letter of interest, CV or resume, and a list of three references with contact information.
