Post-doc Recruitment
The Child Development and Cognitive Neuroscience (CDCN) Lab is currently seeking highly motivated postdoctoral candidates with a strong interest in child development and brain research. Our lab focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive, language, and social development in both typically developing children and those with developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
We welcome applicants with expertise in the analysis of neuroimaging data, including but not limited to functional MRI (fMRI), structural MRI, electroencephalography (EEG), and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Candidates should have a solid background in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, biomedical engineering, or related disciplines, and be proficient in data processing, statistical analysis, and programming (e.g., MATLAB, Python, R, or similar platforms).
The CDCN Lab offers a dynamic, interdisciplinary research environment, opportunities to collaborate with clinicians, and strong support for career development. Applicants with a track record of high-quality publications and a desire to pursue independent research initiatives will be given priority.
Application Requirements:
· Candidates should be about to obtain a doctoral degree or have obtained a doctoral degree within the last three years, and generally should not be older than 35 years.
· Candidates should have a high level of academic achievement and strong research capabilities, with the ability to conduct independent research.
· Candidates who have published relevant papers in international academic journals will be given priority.
· Strong English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills are required.
· Good academic ethics and a spirit of teamwork are essential.
· Candidates should be willing to engage full-time in postdoctoral research work.
Benefits and Subsidy:
The postdoctoral contract is for two years, offering an annual salary of 350,000 to 380,000 RMB (including a living subsidy of 180,000 RMB from Shenzhen). Benefits will be implemented according to the standards for equivalent faculty and staff at the university, including social insurance, housing fund, performance rewards, etc.
Research groups provide an excellent working environment and ample research support and fully support postdoctoral researchers in applying for the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, National Natural Science Foundation, and various provincial and municipal research projects. Research groups will assist postdoctoral researchers in applying for relevant talent programs in Shenzhen based on their qualifications. Outstanding postdoctoral researchers may apply directly for research assistant professor or other faculty positions after their postdoctoral tenure.
Candidates can apply for talent housing in Shenzhen through the university. They can settle in Shenzhen, and their spouse and minor children can also apply for household registration.
The university has high-quality affiliated educational institutions from kindergarten through high school, providing excellent educational resources for the children of faculty and staff. High-level medical insurance is provided, and after one year of employment, customized premium physical examinations can be enjoyed. (This is subject to policy adjustments based on actual regulations.)
Application Method:
Interested candidates should send the following materials to the corresponding research group, with the email subject and attachment title as “Postdoctoral Application - Name.”
(1) A personal resume (including a complete list of academic publications);
(2) Full text of representative papers;
