The Research Assistant Professor (RAP) will oversee and coordinate all aspects of active data collection projects under the direction of Dr. Timothy Nelson in the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience (DCN) Lab and the Center for Brain, Biology, and Behavior (CB3). This will entail supervising a team of project staff and students to ensure high-quality data collection and management on NIH-funded projects, as well as monitoring project compliance protocols and completing required reporting (e.g., IRB, NIH annual reporting). The RAP will contribute to dissemination activities, including preparing manuscripts and presentations using data from the lab. The RAP will also contribute to the preparation of external grant applications with Dr. Nelson and lab collaborators. Finally, the RAP will also have the opportunity to leverage lab resources to develop their own research program that is synergistic with Dr. Nelson's.

About Us:

The Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience (DCN) Lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a dynamic, interdisciplinary team of faculty, staff, and students conducting research broadly focused on the interplay between development and health. The lab’s work integrates developmental, neuroscience, health, and systems perspectives to better understand key health behaviors (e.g., diet, sleep, physical activity, substance use) and outcomes (e.g., obesity, psychopathology) during critical periods of development, with a particular emphasis on the role of regulation processes. Current research in the lab is funded by NIH (R01DK125651, 2R01DK116693) and involves a variety of data collection modalities including fMRI, bioimpedance, actigraphy, multiple 24-hour dietary recall, questionnaires, and environmental geocoding. The DCN Lab is affiliated with the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior, a hub for interdisciplinary neuroscience research, which features a new 3 Tesla Cima.X MRI scanner.
