Drs. Teresa Wilcox (Florida Atlantic University) and Daniel Messinger (University of Miami) are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join an innovative project investigating infant-parent interbrain synchrony during social interaction using fNIRS hyperscanning. This research integrates developmental science, social neuroscience, and computational modeling to explore how neural coupling supports early social development.

Important: Internal funding (up to 2 years at NIH levels) requires first identifying the postdoc.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead fNIRS hyperscanning studies of infant-parent dyads
  • Process and analyze complex time-series data
  • Apply and develop methods for assessing directional influence and dynamic neural coupling

Required Qualifications:

  • Experience with fNIRS data collection and analysis
  • Familiarity with time-series analysis
  • Interest in developmental neuroscience and parent-infant interaction

Preferred:

  • Expertise in signal processing, machine learning, or computational modeling
  • Background in hyperscanning and social neuroscience methods
