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

I seek a full-time laboratory manager, funded by ongoing NIH grants, to manage my laboratory and conduct research in studies of perception and cognition using behavior,  fMRI, EEG, and TMS.  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 

The lab manager assists in all phases of the research, including designing and implementing experimental paradigms, recruiting, training, and testing subjects, behavioral and fMRI data analysis, and manuscript preparation;  programming experimental paradigms and analyzing data using C++, MatLab, and BrainVoyager; recruiting human subjects; assisting with the preparation of grant proposals and administration of funded grants and human subjects protocols; developing research projects in collaboration with other lab members.

Qualifications include B.A. or equivalent with background in cognitive neuroscience or related fields. Previous research experience and knowledge of a programming language such as C++ or MatLab is desirable.  A highly motivated and energetic approach to research is essential. A minimum two-year commitment is required.  The preferred start date is July 1, 2007.  The position comes with health benefits.

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