Join the Perceptual Neuroscience Lab
Applicants with a background in psychology, neuroscience, engineering, or related disciplines are encouraged to apply. We welcome applications from individuals interested in visual perception, attention, decision-making, computational modeling, and neuroimaging research.
Lab members contribute to ongoing research projects involving behavioral experiments, programming, data collection, data analysis, and scientific writing. We especially value curiosity, responsibility, careful work habits, and a genuine interest in research.
General Requirements
Our research requires strong programming skills, especially in MATLAB-PsychToolbox and/or Python-PsychoPy. Candidates who already possess these skills or demonstrate strong potential to develop them are encouraged to apply.
Please note that lab members are expected to make a commitment for at least two semesters.
