Job opportunities at Tufts

by Pagano, Allie

Sent on behalf of the Department of Psychology at Tufts Dear Friends and Colleagues, We are writing to share with you two full-time job opportunities to come to the Department of Psychology at Tufts University (just outside of Boston, Massachusetts) to work with the three of us (Aerielle Allen, Lisa Shin, and Sam Sommers) on a recently funded, 5-year NIH grant. One position is for a post-doctoral fellow who would work closely with the co-PIs on the project. The other is for a research coordinator, a position that may be of interest to recent (or soon-to-be) college graduates looking for additional research experience before graduate school. The official job postings and instructions for applying can be found at these links: • post-doctoral fellow - https://tufts.box.com/s/1f4q4gxjp6vto4cxhn6s0aodkc75shty • research coordinator - https://jobs.tufts.edu/opportunities/jobs/19969 Our project, titled Effects of Racism on Brain and Physiological Pathways to Health Disparities<https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/10693643>, has been funded by an NIH Transformative Research Award project through 2028. The research seeks to examine the brain, physiological, and psychological responses to the recollection of specific personal experiences with racism among participants who identify as Black or African American. The project will also use smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) methods to measure the frequency and severity of experiences with racism as they occur in daily life in real time, permitting the investigation of how these measures associate with brain, physiological, and health outcomes. A primary objective of the funded proposal is to promote the professional development and career advancement of underrepresented research trainees at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels. For both positions, review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. We note that some research indicates that women, people of color, and individuals from less socially privileged backgrounds are less likely to apply for positions unless they are confident that they meet every one of the qualifications cited in a job ad. Individuals are encouraged to apply for one of these positions if they believe that they have the skills for it, meet most of the criteria outlined in the ad, and are passionate about joining a team conducting psychological research seeking to investigate and ameliorate the neural, physiological, and health-related consequences of anti-Black racism. Please feel free to share these positions with anyone in your networks who may be interested. Questions can be directed to any/all of the co-PIs (contact info below). Many thanks, Aerielle Allen (aerielle.allen(a)tufts.edu<mailto:aerielle.allen@tufts.edu>) Lisa Shin (lisa.shin(a)tufts.edu<mailto:lisa.shin@tufts.edu>) Sam Sommers (sam.sommers(a)tufts.edu<mailto:sam.sommers@tufts.edu>) Lisa M.

Postdoc opening at Northeastern University

by Pagano, Allie

Sent on behalf of Northeastern University Project Description This is a multi-site international collaboration funded by the Templeton World Charities Foundation through their Accelerating Research on Consciousness initiative. The overarching goal of the project is to arbitrate between four higher order theories: Higher-Order State Space model (HOSS; Fleming, 2020), Perceptual Reality Monitoring theory (PRM; Lau, 2019), Higher-Order Representation of a Representation (HOROR; Brown, 2015), and Self-Organising Meta-Representational theory (SOMA; Cleeremans, 2011; Cleeremans et al., 2020). The disagreement within Higher Order Theories of consciousness (HOTs) varies along two axes. One axis examines to what degree higher-order representations are rich or sparse. A second (related) axis of disagreement is on whether higher-order representations can “misrepresent” their first-order targets, and in what way. The two axes of disagreement will be tested in distinct experiments with a number of convergent methodologies. HOTs hypotheses cross-cut a number of different theories, with different theorists placing greater or lesser weight on the two axes. We seek to devise experiments that can identify whether the data are more consistent with one or other pole of these two axes. In particular, this project involves experiments designed to provide a critical test of 1) whether perceptual/imagery vividness is coded in a rich or sparse manner, and 2) whether the nature of perceptual experience (“seeing” vs. “imagining”) relies on a dedicated higher-order reality monitoring signal (PRM), or whether inference on reality depends on thresholding a unidimensional code for phenomenal magnitude (HOSS). Overall project personnel: Lead PIs: Stephen Fleming and Axel Cleeremans Project PIs: Jorge Morales, Megan Peters, Rachel Denison, Nadine Dijkstra, Zoltan Dienes, Guy Cheron Scientific steering committee: Hakwan Lau, Richard Brown, Stephen Fleming, Axel Cleeremans, Elisabeth Pacherie External advisory board: David Rosenthal, Matthias Michel, Joseph LeDoux, Lucie Charles Postdoctoral Research Associate Recruitment The Subjectivity Laboratory, directed by Jorge Morales, and located in the Department of Psychology at Northeastern University is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral Research Associate to work on-site in Boston, Massachusetts. This research position is for research on a neuroimaging (fMRI), psychophysics, modeling, and machine learning project to arbitrate among competing higher order theories of consciousness. The postdoctoral research associate will work under the supervision of PI Morales in conjunction with PI Megan Peters (UC Irvine) to design, implement, and interpret Experiment 2 of this study series. The complete team will include the above-named project personnel as well as graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at other sites including Boston University, UC Irvine, University College London, and other institutions. The postdoctoral research associate will receive direct mentorship from PI Morales and the other members of the team, and will have opportunities for professional development, mentoring, and conference attendance as they arise. Compensation will be $60,000-64,000 annual salary (depending on qualifications) and it includes benefits (e.g., medical insurance). The appointment is for 1 year to start with potential for annual reappointments for up to 2 more years. Ideal starting date is January 2024 but there is some flexibility. PhD must be already awarded by the time the position begins. Application deadline for preferential consideration is October 31, 2023; the position will remain open until the position is filled. Qualifications: Required: Must possess a Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Philosophy or similar disciplines at the time of appointment. Candidates should have a record of published work (including preprints). Proficiency in advanced neuroimaging (fMRI preferred) and statistical analyses as well as programing skills is required. Strong analytic skills for designing experiments and for analyzing empirical and theoretical results is required. Preferred: Familiarity with psychophysical methods, signal detection theory and theories of consciousness is a plus. An interest in studying metacognition and consciousness from neuroimaging, behavioral, and computational modeling perspectives is preferred. Application For official consideration, please submit your CV and some other required information to the Northeastern Job Portal. https://subjectivity.sites.northeastern.edu/research/hot-project/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__subjectivity.sites.nor…> Also, please feel free to get in touch with Jorge j.morales(a)northeastern.edu<mailto:j.morales@northeastern.edu>
