[AUDITORY] postdoc in autobiographical memory

[Caroline Palmer <caroline.palmer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleagues, please share this postdoc ad with any interested 
candidates:

The Sheldon Memory Lab (https://www.sheldonmemorylabatmcgill.com/) at 
McGill University is looking for a post-doctoral fellow to join our 
team! The Sheldon Lab investigates the cognitive and neural processes 
that support autobiographical memory, how these processes extend into 
non-memory scenarios like problem solving and how they are recruited 
differently across individual and populations (e.g., aging, patient 
populations). We are looking for a post-doc who is highly motivated, 
curious and knowledgeable about the cognitive neuroscience of memory and 
interested in working with a wonderful team of young researchers. The 
successful candidate will have a PhD in cognitive psychology or in a 
related field and will have experience with neuroimaging analysis, 
preferably fMRI. We are recruiting for a one-year term, however there 
may be the opportunity to renew the position based on grant funding and 
performance.

In this position, the post-doc will collaborate on a research project 
with Signy Sheldon and Caroline Palmer that uses fMRI to understand how 
auditory and visual details are recalled from complex 
autobiographical-like memories. This project will also assess how 
individual differences (musical training, imagery) affect the neural 
mechanisms underlying recollections of these types of details. In 
addition, the post-doc will have the opportunity to further explore the 
topic of individual differences in memory and imagery as well as study 
topics ranging from the memory mechanisms are affected in aging and  the 
neural link between memory and other cognitive tasks (i.e., decision 
making). The post-doc will be encouraged to collaborate with 
researchers, take advantage of workshops on neuroimaging analysis, 
attend talk and conferences and apply for grants.

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the 
position is filled. For more information about this position, please 
contact Dr. Signy Sheldon at signy.sheldon@xxxxxxxxx

McGill University is located in Montreal (Quebec Canada), a diverse and 
vibrant city, and is a wonderful place to learn and live. There are 
several research centers devoted to neuroscience that use innovative 
techniques and tools to answer important questions about topics like 
memory.
