Question for UK academics, particularly those in cog neuro and related fields: Are “staff scientist” positions (lab manager, lab tech, analyst) relatively uncommon? Many labs in North America seem to have them, but I don’t recall this being the case in the UK, even in well-funded labs #academicsky

I want to know everyone's experiences publishing in:
* MDPI journals
* Hindawi journals
* Frontiers journals

Not stories about what you heard, please, but your literal experience. what happened to you.

Editors of said journals particularly welcome.

RT this. A lot.

The Learning, Understanding, Memory, & Neurodevelopment (LUMeN) Lab at Emory is seeking our first postdoc! ✨ Learn more about the position and apply here: faculty-emory.icims.com/jobs/123119/...
The Learning, Understanding, Memory, & Neurodevelopment Lab (LUMeN Lab, PI: Dr. Alexandra Cohen) in the Department of Psychology at Emory University (Atlanta, GA) is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Fellow to work on studies examining how motivation and emotion influence learning, memory, and brain function across development. Projects will include analysis of fMRI and ecological momentary assessment data from an NIH-funded study examining neurocognitive mechanisms of reward-motivated memory and behaviors across development. Candidates must have a PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, or a related field by the position start date. The start date is flexible. Fluency with at least one programming language (e.g., Python, R, Matlab) and experience with fMRI are required. Developmental cognitive neuroscience research experience is preferred, but not required. Application review will take place on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

The hippocampus is not usually thought of as a visual brain region. But it shows a systematic progression of pRF size from anterior to posterior, which matches a similar gradient in scene versus face preference. New paper by Charlotte Leferink now out in Cerebral Cortex.
