FOR POTENTIAL postdoctoral FELLOWS

We are currently seeking an NIH grant-funded postdoctoral scholar for academic year ‘24-’25. We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on a joint project with Drs. Eva Telzer and Kristen Lindquist in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at UNC Chapel Hill. We specifically are looking for PhD-level researchers with excellent study management and analytic skills who are interested in gaining training using a unique dataset that combines theories and methods in developmental neuroscience (longitudinal fMRI data), social affective neuroscience (emotional processing, social interactions), and health behaviors (substance use, health risk behaviors, internalizing and externalizing disorders). The ideal applicant will have experience analyzing fMRI data with a focus on multivariate or network approaches, a strong publication record, experience with social or developmental neuroscience methods, and an interest in adolescent interpersonal experiences, socio-emotional processing, or risk behaviors. The applicant must have a PhD in Psychology (Developmental, Clinical, or Social Psychology, for instance), Neuroscience, or related field by the time the position begins. Start date is negotiable but ideally would be in July-September, 2024.  The position also includes opportunities for professional development and unique interdisciplinary training that will be useful for a variety of academic career paths. 

Applicants should submit a cover letter and CV for initial review to Fatima Jangana at fjangana@email.unc.edu.
