Postdoctoral Researcher (full job posting here)
We are currently searching for a new postdoctoral fellow. This is a grant-funded position for a minimum of two years. The position includes benefits and compensation is congruent with NIH stipend levels. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, but applications received by 15 May 2022 will be given full consideration and the search will remain open until suitable candidate is found. The earliest anticipated start date is 1 August 2022.
The focus of the NIH-funded project is the neural basis of multisensory and motor learning in the control of hand movement. The project comprises behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging experiments in healthy adults.
Responsibilities: The successful applicant will be expected to lead studies and generate new knowledge that is congruent with the overall goal of the funded project. This includes generating peer-reviewed publications. Resources are available for travel to scientific meetings and formal training is available with regards to grant writing, research ethics, rigor and reproducibility, and clinical trial management. There will also be opportunities to develop your own independent research interests and to gain expertise in transcranial magnetic stimulation and fMRI techniques.
Applications are invited from any relevant discipline including neuroscience, kinesiology, psychology, cognitive science, etc. Candidates must have received a doctoral degree from an accredited educational institution by the start of appointment. Experience with human subjects research is required, including data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Candidates should possess strong scientific writing skills and programming skills (MATLAB).

Graduate Students
We periodically have openings for motivated and enthusiastic graduate students to join the lab. Ideal applicants should have (or be close to having) a degree in kinesiology, psychology, neuroscience, or related field. Experience with MATLAB is desirable but not required. Students are funded by research/teaching assistantships. Travel support will be provided to attend professional meetings.
We strongly encourage potential PhD students to do a dual Kinesiology/Neuroscience program, which means you will need to apply to two separate graduate programs at IU:
To receive full consideration for funding by both programs, apply to both by December 1. Before applying, prospective students should contact Hannah Block with a CV or resume and unofficial transcript.

Undergraduates
Students interested in gaining experience in sensorimotor research are invited to contact Hannah Block. There are frequent opportunities for volunteering or independent/directed study in our lab. Part-time paid employment may also be available.
Female freshman and sophomores are encouraged to consider IU's Center of Excellence for Women in Technology (CEWiT) Research Experience for Undergraduate Women. This is an excellent way to gain some exposure to research and technology, and several of the undergraduates who work in our lab started out in this program.
