Postdoctoral Position at Texas: The Multimethod Affect and Cognition Lab (MAClab), led by Dr. Annmarie MacNamara at Texas A&M University, is offering a postdoctoral research position. The MAClab employs a diverse array of methodologies, including EEG, fMRI, psychophysiology, experience sampling, and behavioral assessments, to explore the underlying mechanisms of anxiety and depression. Current research also delves into the neurobiology of comorbidity load, intervention development, and the impact of reproductive hormones on threat learning and extinction.
