About the Opportunity This job description is intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by people assigned to this classification. It is not intended to be construed as an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, duties and skills required of personnel so classified. About the Opportunity: The Department of Psychology and Center for Cognitive and Brain Health at Northeastern University
invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate or more senior position. The position is to begin Summer or Fall 2025 for a term of 2-3 years, with yearly renewals based upon funding and performance. This position will be based in the Social Development and Wellbeing Lab led by Dr. Alexandra Rodman. The Lab and offices are the heart of Boston, in the new, state-of-the-art ISEC building, which includes a
brand-new neuroimaging center. Our research examines the social lives of teens, including their social behavior and experiences, and how they process social information. We also examine how individual differences in these processes confer risk or resilience to mental health problems. As part of the Center for Cognitive and Brain Health, there is ample opportunity for collaboration with other faculty and researchers
of the Center. Responsibilities: This postdoctoral position will involve leading independent research, as well as conducting analysis of existing data, which can range broadly from behavioral (e.g., computerized task) to neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI) data from studies examining neurodevelopmental mechanisms of social information processing (e.g., learning, emotion, or motivational processes). Applicants can explore basic
characterization of adolescence and/or translational questions related to clinical risk and resilience factors. Though not required, we are particularly interested in applicants who use advanced quantitative methods, including computational modeling, machine learning, and/or analyzing structural and functional neuroimaging data. Specific activities may include managing/preprocessing/analyzing behavioral and
neuroimaging data, collecting new data (e.g., behavioral task, fMRI, digital phenotyping via mobile phone, wearables), presenting and disseminating research, formal supervision and mentoring of lab members at earlier career stages on independent research projects, grant writing, leading independent research and disseminating results via conferences, talks, and first-author manuscripts.
