Postdoctoral researchers
A postdoctoral position is currently available in the Perception, Attention & Memory Lab of Dr. Viola Störmer at Dartmouth College. This is a full-time position that lasts for two years with possible renewal for subsequent years. 

The specific research directions would be developed together with the postdoctoral scientist, but broad topics include: experience-based and voluntary attention in the visual and auditory domain, interactions between working memory and attention, and cross-modal perception, using psychophysics, large-scale online data collection, computational techniques, eye tracking and EEG and/or fMRI.

We are seeking highly qualified individuals who are eager to develop their own independent research program. Candidates should have  a recent or soon-to-be-acquired Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g. Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Computer Science), strong quantitative and technical skills, and an interest in perceptual cognition. Proficiency in programming is necessary (e.g., Matlab, Python, Javascript, R). Ideal postdoctoral scholars would have experience with psychophysical research AND either EEG, fMRI, or computational modeling techniques.

Interested candidates should send a CV, a brief statement of research interests, the expected date of availability, and the names and contact info of at least two references to viola.s.stoermer@dartmouth.edu

Applications will be considered as long as this posting is up. 

Salary is following the NIH guidelines. Applications from women, racial and ethnic minorities, and other individuals who are under-represented in the profession, are strongly encouraged to apply.

Graduate students
We are looking for qualified graduate students to start September 2024. To apply, send an application to the Graduate Program in Brain and Psychological Sciences at Dartmouth College and indicate Dr. Störmer as the advisor you are primarily interested in working with. Applications are due December 1st in order to start the following September. Before applying, we recommend emailing with Dr. Störmer to express your interest. Please include some information about your research interests, previous research experience, and your CV when doing do.

While a bachelors degree in Psychology, Neuroscience or related fields is required and programming skills (MATLAB/Python, C/C++, etc.) and experience with behavioral and/or EEG testing are desirable, we are also open to considering exceptional candidates from wider backgrounds. The psychology department offers support that is competitive and not restricted to U.S. citizens.
