The College of Nursing at The Ohio State University invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Scholar position working with Dr. Michelle Failla. Dr. Failla's research focuses on understanding the role of social communication in pain responses and management. The Failla lab is interested in studying pain in populations with differences in social communication, across the lifespan, from autism spectrum disorder to Alzheimer's Disease. We work to understand how altered neural processing of pain may contribute to differences in expression or experience of pain. We use a variety of techniques such as psychophysics, neuroimaging, behavioral testing, and big-data approaches to investigate responses to physical pain.
The Postdoctoral Scholar will contribute to ongoing projects in Dr. Failla's lab. Currently funded projects focus on autistic adults to characterize pain responses across adulthood using pain psychophysics and neuroimaging. The candidate will also be invited to design and implement new projects that are in line with both their own and Dr. Failla's research interests. Finally, they will have opportunities to analyze existing data, to author and co-author manuscripts, and to gain exposure to and mentorship on grant writing.
