Job Description
THIS POSITION IS ELIGIBLE FOR REMOTE WORK
The Postdoctoral Researcher position creates a bridge between a doctoral program and full-time employment as a faculty member or researcher and serves to prepare an individual who was recently awarded a doctorate with further training to undertake the responsibilities of a faculty member or researcher.
Dr. Graciela Muniz-Terrera is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Researcher. Her research focus is in the application and development of new analytical methods to improve knowledge about normative and pathological cognitive and physical declines experienced by older adults. She is particularly interested in understanding how individuals change relative to their previous level of functioning (within-person changes) as the manifestations of these changes are those that usually concern older adults. She is also interested in the development of analytical tools to predict the risk of developing dementia.
