Postdoctoral Associate Mnemology Lab / Dr. Simon Davis Department of Psychology & Brain Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington Overview : The Mnemology Lab (PI: Simon Davis) at IUB uses behavioral and neuroimaging methods to investigate the cognitive and neural mechanisms of episodic memory and how they change in healthy and pathological aging. Our lab investigates cognitive and neural mechanisms of memory for personally experienced past events or episodic memory (EM) using a combination of behavioral neuroimaging (fMRI) neurophysiology ( EEG ) and neuromodulation ( TMS ) methods. Traditional imaging studies focused on identifying the brain regions associated with different cognitive processes but more recent studies seek to understand the nature of the information stored in various brain regions or representations and how multiple brain regions interact with each other or networks . Furthermore we are focused on identifying factors affecting the plasticity of these representational networks and the degree to which they can be affected by neuromodulation tools and paradigms. At present we are pursuing three main lines of research: EM representations EM networks and the effects of healthy and pathological aging on EM representations and networks. Essential Duties: Research topics include episodic memory representations and networks and the interactions between episodic memory and attention/control processes. Some studies include healthy older adults and individuals with mild cognitive impairment. The studies employ behavioral and fMRI methods and the analyses include cutting-edge representational similarity analyses and graph theory. Qualifications Candidates with a Ph.D. in any area of cognitive neuroscience broadly defined (e.g. Psychology Neuroscience Computer Science or a related field) are welcome to apply. Expertise in statistics and data management Strong communication and interpersonal skills Ideal candidates have Experience in fMRI research Strong computer skills Promising publication record The anticipated start date is September 1 2025. Start date is negotiable. Interested individuals should apply at by submitting their CV a statement of research interests and contact information for at least 2 references. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until the position is filled. For best consideration apply by August 11 2025. Please contact Jalyn Medley at if you have any questions.
