RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITION AVAILABLE
in
VISION/COGNITIVE SCIENCE
START DATE: Summer '01
This position is in a lab that conducts psychophysical/behavioral research
primarily in the area of visual attention. What is vision like
without attention? How is attention deployed? What does it do?
What happens after it is deployed away from a previously attended
object? What is "conscious" visual perception. Most experiments
test healthy young adults. The position involves all stages of the research
process from planning experiments to helping to write up results for
publication, but the main focus is data collection and analysis. RA's usually
attend and present at one scientific meeting each year.
This position requires a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science
degree. A major in Psychology or related field would be plus, but
is not necessary. Some research experience would also be useful.
The position is not appropriate for those with advanced degrees.
A candidate should have experience with personal computers and/or
workstations and should be willing to learn how to use our statistics,
graphics, and word processing packages. Programming experience is not
necessary, but familiarity with C and/or MatLab would be a plus.
A candidate must be able to work independently and should be able
to interact with subjects in a tactful and pleasant manner.
This is an excellent position for a new college graduate who wants
to spend two or more years in a research setting before going on to
graduate or medical school. NOTE: A two year commitment is required.
