Positions - join us!

PI: Jacob Miller

I am a new (starting January '25) Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Miami. Previously, I was a Wu Tsai Institute postdoctoral fellow at Yale University, working with Profs. John Murray and Amy Arnsten. I completed my Ph.D. in 2021 under the mentorship of Mark D’Esposito at the University of California, Berkeley. My research focuses on how prefrontal cortex circuitry supports successful working memory behavior and the remarkable flexibility of human cognition. I am also an avid mountain and road biker, often thinking about research problems while on two wheels. [Google Scholar] [cv]

Research Associate position

The lab is recruiting a research associate position starting in August 2025. Please see below for more information and the application portal! The position will involve responsibilities of recruiting and scheduling participants for research studies, data collection (MRI and behavioral), data analysis and processing using Python and fMRI software packages (FreeSurfer, fMRIprep, etc.), administrative duties, IRB management, and general management of lab operations. Individuals with an interest in the brain circuits supporting learning and memory, higher-order cognition, and their dysfunction in aging (and neuropsychiatric disorders) are particularly encouraged to apply. link: RA position webpage and application

Graduate student recruitment

Interested in studying the cognitive and neural architectures for memory and higher-cognition? We will be considering potential PhD student applications for Fall 2026. If you are interested, please contact me via email with your research interests and experience if you think you'd make a great fit. You can apply here by Dec. 1st (through Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience track)!
