[MATHLINK] postdoc position in Brain and Cognitive Development Lab at University of Illinois

[Dan Hyde]

Dr. Dan Hyde is looking to hire a postdoctoral scholar to work on an
ongoing longitudinal study in the Brain and Cognitive Development Lab at
the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The project employs both
functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and event-related potentials
(ERPs) to examine the relationship between functional brain re-organization
and numeracy in children from 3-6 years with a multi-wave, longitudinal
design.

The postdoctoral scholar is anticipated to play a large role in
pre-registrations, data analyses, manuscript development, data
dissemination (e.g., conference presentation), and data curation. The
postdoctoral scholar will also help with data collection. Participation in
the project will also provide opportunities for novel project development
and continued future access to the resulting dataset.

More information about the lab can be found on the following website:
https://publish.illinois.edu/danielchyde/

This position requires a Ph.D. in psychology or a field related to the
project (e.g., neuroscience, cognitive science, human development) by the
start date, at least 2-3 years of research experience relevant to at least
one dimension of the project (e.g., brain measures, population of interest,
topic, etc.), and the ability to work rigorously and comfortably with
families and children to conduct research.

Although not necessary, the ideal candidate will also have demonstrated
expertise in developmental fNIRS and/or EEG, knowledge and a strong
interest in numerical cognition and/or developmental cognitive
neuroscience, a strong command of longitudinal statistical modeling, and
competency in working with multiple programming languages.

This position is for 1 year, with the possibility of renewal at the end of
the year based on funding availability and performance review. Pay/salary
is commensurate on experience and negotiable within constraints of funding.

The applicant must be available to start on or before 10/1/2025, with a
strong preference for earlier start date.

Interested applicants should email Dr. Hyde (dchyde at illinois.edu
<dchyde at illiinois.edu>) with questions. To apply, please send a CV, 1 page
statement of relevant research experience and interests, and a list of
three people who can serve as references.
