7. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We seek a postdoctoral research associate to work with Professor Christopher Kuzawa at Harvard University on a study that will validate and implement imaging-based proxies for brain energy expenditure, to be used to characterize the energetic costs of the brain across human development (recently shown to account for 66% of resting expenditure in childhood). Eventual uses include characterizing individual and population variation in brain energy use, the experiential drivers of that variation, and possible impacts on downstream traits including growth patterns, body composition and critical periods in cognitive development. The associate will work with and liaise between collaborators in the Departments of Human Evolutionary Biology (Harvard/Cambridge), the Department of Neuroscience (Harvard/Cambridge) and the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging (Harvard/MIT/Mass General). In parallel, there will be opportunities to analyze and publish existing data upon identifying areas of mutual interest.

15. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Dr. Ashwini Ashokkumar’s lab at the Department of Psychology at Harvard University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position to start in Fall 2025. The lab conducts research related to identity processes, language, group dynamics, and political psychology, using an array of methods including natural language processing and experiments. This is a two-year position (one-year contract renewable based on performance). The primary criterion for acceptance is research excellence and fit with the lab’s focus. Dr. Ashokkumar’s lab investigates questions such as: how do people’s identities get expressed in their language? What psychological processes shape public expression of opinions (versus self-censorship), and how do such behaviors (or lack thereof) shape identity? What social and psychological processes stifle heterogeneous perspectives in discourse? How do biased narratives in public discourse sustain intergroup conflict and inequality? How do large-scale upheavals shape our collective identities and narratives?
