Postdoctoral Associate at Indiana University
Date: 17 hours ago
City: Bloomington, IN
Contract type: Full time
Title Postdoctoral Associate Appointment Status Non-Tenure Track Department IU Bloomington Psychological & Brain Sciences Location Bloomington Position Summary
Postdoctoral Associate
Mnemology Lab / Dr. Simon Davis
Department of Psychology & Brain Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington
Overview:
The Mnemology Lab (PI: Simon Davis) at IUB uses behavioral and neuroimaging methods to investigate the cognitive and neural mechanisms of episodic memory and how they change in healthy and pathological aging. Our lab investigates cognitive and neural mechanisms of memory for personally experienced past events, or episodic memory (EM), using a combination of behavioral, neuroimaging (fMRI) neurophysiology (EEG), and neuromodulation (TMS) methods. Traditional imaging studies focused on identifying the brain regions associated with different cognitive processes, but more recent studies seek to understand the nature of the information stored in various brain regions, or representations, and how multiple brain regions interact with each other, or networks. Furthermore, we are focused on identifying factors affecting the plasticity of these representational networks, and the degree to which they can be affected by neuromodulation tools and paradigms. At present, we are pursuing three main lines of research: EM representations, EM networks, and the effects of healthy and pathological aging on EM representations and networks.
Essential Duties:
Research topics include episodic memory representations and networks and the interactions between episodic memory and attention/control processes. Some studies include healthy older adults and individuals with mild cognitive impairment. The studies employ behavioral and fMRI methods, and the analyses include cutting-edge representational similarity analyses and graph theory.
Qualifications
Interested individuals should apply at https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/30178 by submitting their CV, a statement of research interests, and contact information for at least 2 references. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the position is filled. For best consideration, apply by August 11, 2025.
