Description The Perception and Active Cognition laboratory in the Division of Science/ Center of Brain and Health. New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Associate to work on the mechanisms underlying rapid perception and cognition Attention, perception, working memory and other aspects of cognition are limited by time constraints that are linked to the temporal scales of neural activity. On the one hand, we can find general principles linking ongoing brain rhythms to the temporal unfolding of thought, from the sampling rate of sensory perception to the maintenance of active representations in memory. However, there are also large individual differences in processing speed within the healthy adult population, across the developmental lifespan, and when considering clinical and neurological patient groups.   The successful applicant will drive a fascinating project on the neural correlates of these individual and clinical differences in...

Description A Post-Doctoral Associate position is available at the Objects and Knowledge Laboratory, headed by Dr. Olivia Cheung, at NYU Abu Dhabi (https://www.oliviacheunglab.org). The postdoctoral associate will carry out experiments on high-level vision (e.g., object, face, letter, scene recognition) in humans using behavioral, fMRI, and computational methods. Potential research projects include, but are not limited to, investigations of the influences of experience and conceptual knowledge on visual recognition. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, or a related field, and should possess strong programming skills (e.g., Matlab or Python) and a strong publication record in topics of high-level vision. Prior experience with fMRI, computational, or psychophysical techniques is highly preferred. Initial appointment is for two years, with the possibility of renewal. The start date is flexible and preferably in Fall 2023...

Description The Division of Science at New York University Abu Dhabi is inviting applications for two fully-funded postdoctoral associate position in the area of developmental psychology. The position requires involvement in multiple longitudinal and experimental lab-based studies examining the development and impact of attachment bonds and/or autobiographical narrative and identity. The projects cover a diverse range of ages and levels of risk. Of major interest is the role of (1) attachment scripts (i.e. secure base script knowledge) and (2) the coherence of autobiographical narratives in behavior and psychological adjustment. Successful candidates are expected to develop a productive and collaborative research program addressing questions related to how early experiences with caregivers (or personally significant events more generally) are represented in memory, how those representations change over time, and how they may impact behavior, cognition, or...
