About this position

The Cognitive & Perceptual Development Lab at Washington University in St. Louis is seeking a postdoctoral research associate in psychiatry to join research on early brain and behavior development in infants at risk for autism.

Working under the direction of John R. Pruett, Jr., M.D., Ph.D. at WashU Medicine, the postdoc will focus on functional MRI (fcMRI) data from large developmental studies. The project centers on understanding brain-behavior relationships in autism, with emphasis on cognitive neuroscience and neurodevelopmental questions.

The position is based in a dry lab environment and involves data processing and analysis, hypothesis generation, presentation of findings, and preparation of scientific papers. The successful candidate may also contribute to grant preparation and reporting and may assist with supervision of students and research technicians.

The lab environment is collaborative and research intensive, with expectations for collegial conduct, ethical research practice, and close engagement with the mentor and research group. The role offers the chance to work in a setting that combines neuroimaging, developmental science, and psychiatry within WashU Medicine.
