Times ************************************************************ RA Position in Cognitive Neuroscience and Brain Imaging Rochester University, NY ************************************************************ The laboratory of Brain and Vision at the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY is looking for a full-time research assistant. The lab focuses on questions of neural plasticity in the human brain. We are specifically interested in assessing how experience alters the functional organization of the brain. To address this question, we have been comparing populations with different sensory experience, such as congenitally deaf and hearing subjects using several different techniques, including functional magnetic resonance imaging, eye position monitoring and recording of behavioral measures such as reaction times or accuracy (see http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/~daphne). The position involves participating in the different stages of the experiments involving eye tracking, behavioral recordings. The Research Assistant will have primary responsibility for helping running the lab, preparing and running experiments (with undergraduates or deaf individuals as subjects), analyzing data, and cooperating with students on research projects. Minimum requirements for this position include a college degree, some computer expertise (familiarity with multi-platforms networks: Sun, MacIntosh, PCs, SGIs); basic knowledge of UNIX is necessary. Good organizational and communication skills expected. The ideal candidates would have some experience or a high interest for experimental research and a genuine curiosity for cognitive processes and their underlying brain events. Ideally, the assistant would begin work around Sept 1st (exact date flexible). The length of the appointments is flexible, up to two years (and possibly longer contingent upon funding). If interested, please send a CV and short statement of your interest, as well as the name and address of three references to Daphne Bavelier, daphne@bcs.rochester.edu.
