A postdoctoral position is available in this laboratory, funded by the NSF. The fellow would conduct a set of projects related to visual comparison and relational processing. The position will be available for one year with a flexible start date (approximately June), with a further extension possible pending funding availability.

We seek an individual with an excellent background in visual cognition and broader cognitive psychology. The following skills are highly desirable but not necessary: a strong programming background (e.g. Matlab; Psych Toolbox), experience with eye tracking and related analyses, experience with electrophysiology and ERP analysis.

As some of the projects deal with applications of visual comparison and relational processing to information visualization and educational materials (e.g. graphs/diagrams), an interest in such translation is also desirable.Preference will be given to U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents, but exceptionally well-qualified international applicants will also be considered. Northwestern University is committed to diversity, and members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
