Post-doctoral Positions:

***Current as of January 12, 2026 and until otherwise updated***

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position related to gaze and movement decision-making. Our research explores how people decide to acquire and use visual information to guide movement. We ask questions related to how people decide where, when, and for how long to direct gaze to different locations, as well as how people decide where and how to move. Although the movement the lab predominantly focuses on is walking, we also study movements involving the arms.

Position details:

• There is flexibility in projects; research questions will relate to gaze and movement decision-making
• Experiments will involve mobile eye tracking, motion capture or virtual reality, and the potential for “in-the-wild” environments
• The successful applicant is expected to assist in the supervision of graduate and undergraduate students in the lab

Requirements:

• PhD and background in neuroscience, kinesiology, psychology, computer science, and/or an area closely related to the lab’s research
• Intermediate to advanced coding skills in one or more computer programming languages (ideally Matlab and/or Python, R)
• Advanced statistical analysis skills
• A record of scholarly publications as first or lead author in peer-reviewed journals, demonstrating excellent writing and research communications skills
• Proficient oral communication skills

Assets:

• Expertise in computational modeling, demonstrated through research publications
• Expertise in computer vision techniques
• Previous research experience related to decision-making
• Experience with eye tracking, motion capture, and/or virtual reality

Duration

• Term: 1 year, with possibility of extension to a 2^nd and 3^rd year based on performance and funding

Other Details

• Details on salary, start of reviewing applications, potential start dates, and how to apply will be announced shortly
• Feel free to contact Dr. Marigold in advance
