Postdoctoral Associate in the Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience
Research Laboratory

Category: Professional

Department: Psychology

Locations: Binghamton, NY

Position ID: 202197

Budget Title: Postdoctoral Associate (SL-1)

Salary: $60,000 - $64,000

The Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience Research Laboratory at
Binghamton University (PI: Sung-Joo Lim; https://sites.google.com/binghamton.edu/limlab/) is
seeking a full-time postdoctoral researcher. Our lab studies how
humans perceive and learn speech sounds, aiming to understand the
brain and cognitive mechanisms that support speech communication
and learning. We use a broad range of empirical methods, including
behavioral experiments, multimodal neuroimaging (EEG/MRI),
noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS/tACS), and pupillometry.

The postdoctoral fellow will work on multimodal neuroimaging
projects investigating the neural bases of sound/speech learning.
The primary aims are to identify intrinsic and extrinsic factors
that promote learning, and to characterize the individual
differences in learning-related changes in brain networks. The core
methodologies will involve functional and structural neuroimaging
(fMRI, DWI), electrophysiology (EEG), non-invasive brain
stimulation, and cognitive-behavioral testing to explore the neural
mechanisms underlying auditory learning and neuroplasticity.

The ideal candidate will be able to work independently in a
self-organized manner, while also enjoy working collaboratively
with our team. They will have an interest and skill in scientific
communication and writing, and share research interests in research
methods as well as in topics of human cognition, speech
communication, and language.

Responsibilities include:

• Experiment conception, development, and implementation
• Data analysis and management
• Developing, modifying, and executing analytical protocols
• Preparing and disseminating results through peer-reviewed

scientific journals and presentations at major national and
international meetings

• Mentoring student researchers (graduate and undergraduate) and

junior staff

Job Requirements:

• A Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science,

speech/hearing sciences, linguistics, computer science, biomedical
engineering or related field, by August 31, 2026

• Experience in advanced neuroimaging (fMRI/MRI/DWI) and/or

electrophysiology (EEG/MEG) and computational analyses (i.e.,
machine learning methods, computational modeling)

• Research experience in human cognition
• Demonstrated strong quantitative skills and experience with

scientific computing, including computational methods (e.g.,
Python, MATLAB, Linux) and neuroimaging/statistical methods (e.g.,
AFNI, FSL, SPM, Freesurfer, R)

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Preferred:

• Experience in topics related to speech communication, auditory

processing, or language-related research

• Experience mentoring junior research assistants
