The Auditory Cognitive Development Lab in the department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at University of Nevada Las Vegas are offering a postdoctoral fellowship position for the Development of misophonia and other auditory affective experiences in children and adolescents project, sponsored by a grant from the Misophonia Research Fund. The position is for 2 years starting March 2024 or shortly after. The project examines high-level auditory affective experiences during development, by examining the relationship between misophonia and music and language skills in developing children, adolescents, and adults.

The position emphasizes an apprenticeship model where the postdoctoral fellow will work collaboratively and closely with three faculty mentors who have expertise in developmental science, cognitive neuroscience, and clinical psychology.
