Applications are invited for a post-doctoral researcher to join the Social Neuroscience Laboratory and Center for the Future Mind at Florida Atlantic University. The postdoc will work directly with the Principal Investigators, Drs. Susan Schneider and Chad Forbes, on a large-scale project that examines how social media algorithms influences neural networks and various learning outcomes. The postdoc will assist in the collection and analysis of high density EEG and behavioral data collected at multiple time points in multiple samples.
The ideal candidate will have, or be in the final stages of obtaining, a Ph.D. in social neuroscience, social psychology, or computer science. Computer programming skills (e.g., MATLAB and/or Python) and experience with EEG/MEG signal processing techniques are preferred but not required. Knowledge of statistical approaches such as hierarchical linear modeling, dyadic analyses or Bayesian statistics would be desirable as well. Excellent writing skills are required above all else. We can teach you all the other cool stuff.
