Post-Doctoral Associate

Posting Summary A Post-Doctoral Associate position is available at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience, Rutgers University–Newark (). Applicants would join the Benasich lab (https://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).) that conducts studies on the early neural processes necessary for normative cognitive and language development as well as the impact of disordered processing on infant neurocognitive outcomes using converging paradigms and prospective longitudinal studies.
