Subject: [AUDITORY] postdoc in autobiographical memory From: Caroline Palmer <caroline.palmer@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2019 20:26:36 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>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@xxxxxxxx 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.
