Join Our Team

Post Doctoral Fellows

Funded by NIH grants, we are seeking 1-2 highly motivated Postdoctoral Researchers to join our multidisciplinary team for at least a two-year position. Our lab is committed to understanding the neural and computational mechanisms underlying perception and attention, with a unique focus on neurodiversity and autism.

Responsibilities:

Conducting research in line with the lab’s objectives using a combination of neuroimaging techniques, computational models, and psychophysics.
Collaborating with a diverse team of researchers and contributing to grant and manuscript writing.
Assisting with the supervision and mentorship of junior lab members.

Qualifications:

PhD in Neuroscience, Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
Strong background in cognitive neuroscience or computational neuroscience is highly desirable.
Experience with neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, EEG, etc.), programming (Python, Matlab, etc.), and/or computational modeling.
An interest in and/or experience with studying neurodiversity, specifically autism, would be a plus.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team.
Self-driven, creative thinker, with a demonstrated ability to design and conduct research independently.

This position offers a unique opportunity to conduct groundbreaking research in a dynamic, supportive, and collaborative environment. If you are passionate about the neuroscience of perception and attention and have a particular interest in exploring and promoting the understanding of neurodiversity, we'd love to hear from you.

Interested candidates should submit a CV, a cover letter detailing research interests and experiences, and the names and contact details of three references to Professor Murray (somurray@uw.edu).

The University of Washington is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer. The Murray Lab values diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We strongly encourage candidates from underrepresented backgrounds to apply.
