Training and Job Opportunities

The Speech and Social Neuroscience Laboratory is always looking for highly talented and motivated research scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and research assistants to join our team. 


Post-doctoral fellow, Speech and communication neuroscience study in children with autism

The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University invites applications for post-doctoral positions in speech and communication neuroscience in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We seek candidates with strong research backgrounds to work on an exciting NIH-funded project examining speaker-listener brain coupling during naturalistic communication in children with ASD. Our research integrates multimodal brain imaging techniques (fMRI, MRI, EEG), behavioral measures of speech perception and comprehension, and social, cognitive, and clinical assays to identify brain mechanisms underlying social and communication function and dysfunction.


Autism Assistant and Neuroscience Research Coordinator

The Speech and Social Neuroscience Laboratory headed by Daniel Abrams, Ph.D., in collaboration with the Stanford Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience Laboratory (PI: Vinod Menon, Ph.D.) within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University is seeking a full-time and onsite Autism Assistant and Neuroscience Research Coordinator (ACRC). The ACRC will primarily focus efforts on current studies exploring brain function underlying social and language functioning in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and adults with Alzheimer’s Disease, in addition to brain changes after social skills intervention for adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
