[visionlist] Seeking full-time lab coordinator

[Steven Yantis]

Laboratory Coordinator at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore
Yantis Lab, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences

I seek a full-time laboratory coordinator, funded by ongoing NIH grants, to 
manage my laboratory and conduct research in studies of perception and 
attention using behavioral and fMRI methods.  We are currently 
investigating the neural mechanisms of cognitive control in attention and 
task switching. For information about the lab, please visit 
<http://psy.jhu.edu/~yantislab>http://psy.jhu.edu/~yantislab

This is a perfect position for someone who is planning to attend graduate 
school in cognitive neuroscience and who seeks valuable research experience 
and training to prepare for admission to a leading graduate 
program.  Opportunities for independent research and for participation in 
relevant seminars and journal clubs are available.

Duties include assisting in cognitive neuroscience research projects 
involving functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and behavioral 
methods.  The lab coordinator assists in all phases of the research, 
including designing and implementing experimental paradigms, recruiting, 
training, and testing subjects, running the MRI scanner during experiments, 
behavioral and fMRI data analysis, and manuscript preparation;  programming 
experimental paradigms and analyzing data using C++, Matlab, and 
BrainVoyager; assisting with the preparation of grant proposals and 
administration of funded grants and human subjects protocols; developing 
your own research projects in collaborations with graduate students, 
postdocs and me.

Qualifications include B.A. or equivalent with a background in psychology, 
cognitive neuroscience, or related fields. Previous research experience and 
knowledge of a programming language such as C++ or MatLab is desirable, but 
opportunites to develop programming skills will be provided as needed.  A 
highly motivated and energetic approach to research is essential. A minimum 
two-year commitment is required.  The start date is flexible between June 
and August 2005.  The position comes with health benefits.

Please send a letter of interest, vita with research experience, and names 
of two references to Steven Yantis <yantis at jhu.edu>.
