[John Henderson]

****Two Postdoctoral Fellowships, Institute for Mind and Brain, 
University of South Carolina.?

Postdoctoral Fellow: Cognitive Neuroscience of Visual Cognition. A 
post-doctoral research position is available in John Henderson's Visual 
Cognition Lab. The lab focuses on eye movements, attention, and visual 
cognition in scene perception and reading using co-registration of eye 
movements with fMRI, EEG, TMS, and tDCS, along with computational modeling.

Postdoctoral Fellow: Cognitive Neuroscience of Language. A post-doctoral 
research position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Rutvik Desai at 
the University of South Carolina, Department of Psychology. The lab 
focuses on cognitive neuroscience of language, semantic memory, and 
embodiment using fMRI, TMS, patient studies, and computational modeling.

The Fellows will have an exciting opportunity to pursue collaborative 
and self-directed projects at the new Institute for Mind and Brain 
(mindandbrain.sc.edu). Successful candidates will have the opportunity 
to interact with a large and vibrant cognitive neuroimaging community of 
faculty, post-docs, and students. Excellent fMRI, TMS, tDCS, EEG, and 
eyetracking facilities are available.

Candidates with a PhD in any of the cognitive sciences broadly defined 
(e.g., Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science, or a related field) 
are welcome to apply. A research background in cognitive 
science/cognitive neuroscience of language (for the language position) 
or vision and attention (for the visual cognition position) is required. 
Experience with one or more of fMRI, eyetracking, lesion-symptom 
mapping, behavioral testing or imaging of patient populations or 
children, TMS, computational modeling, or machine learning is highly 
desirable. Salary will be at NIH post-doctoral rates and commensurate 
with experience. Initial appointments will be for two years with 
opportunity for extension to three years.

For the visual cognition position, applications should be sent to john 
dot henderson at sc dot edu. For the language position, applications 
should be sent to SCDeLab at gmail dot com. Applications should include 
CV, brief statement of research interests, relevant publications, and 
names of three referees (who will be asked for a reference letter if 
necessary). The starting date is flexible, but earlier is better. 
Applications will be assessed as they arrive.

The University of South Carolina is an affirmative action, equal 
opportunity employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. The 
University of South Carolina does not discriminate in educational or 
employment opportunities or decisions for qualified persons on the basis 
of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual 
orientation or veteran status.
