The Infant Development Lab (PI: Lorraine Bahrick; infantlab.fiu.edu) in the Department of Psychology at Florida International University invites applications for a 2-3 year NIH-funded postdoc in infant/child perceptual/cognitive/social development to start as soon as possible or by January 2023. We seek an applicant with strong technical, methodological, and statistical skills with an interest in early development. The post-doc will work with the P.I., Dr. Lorraine Bahrick, and her lab team, to coordinate and participate in 2 NIH-funded research projects. One is a multisite project assessing individual differences in attention and intersensory processing and relations with social and language outcomes. Findings are designed to serve as a basis for identifying typical developmental trajectories with implications for identifying atypical trajectories. The other is a longitudinal study assessing attention and intersensory processing as predictors of language, social, and school readiness outcomes across 3 months through 6 years of age. Theoretical emphasis is on an ecological/developmental systems perspective. The post-doc will have ample opportunity for exploring both databases, participating in and generating collaborative research projects, developing an independent research program, and receiving training in manuscript writing and grantsmanship.Requirements
