[visionlist] Two Research Assistant Positions in Action and Motor Control, Philadelphia, PA.

[Steve Jax]

Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI), a division of the Albert 
Einstein Healthcare Network and Thomas Jefferson University, has two 
openings for BA/BS- or Master’s-level research assistants. The first 
position, in the Cognition and Action Laboratory directed by Laurel Buxbaum, 
involves assisting on studies of hemispatial neglect and other disorders of 
space and action, comprising cognitive experiments, state-of-the art lesion 
analysis, and kinematic/virtual reality applications. The second position, 
in the Laboratory for Neural Control of Movement under the direction of 
Steven Jax, primarily involves assisting on studies of motor learning and 
motor control in stroke patients,  and also includes behavioral and 
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies of neurologically intact 
individuals.

For both positions, applicants should have a strong academic background in 
cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, motor control, or a related 
field. Coursework in statistics and research methods, prior research 
experience, and computer programming skills (C++, Matlab) are strongly 
preferred.  Experience working with patient populations is desireable. Both 
positions offer competitive salary and benefits (medical, dental, vision, 
tuition reimbursement). The first position  is available  as early as May 
(but can begin any time thereafter), and the second position will begin on 
or after July 1. Preference will be given to applicants who can commit at 
least 2 years to the position.  Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute is a 
stimulating, productive environment offering many training opportunities. To 
apply for either or both of the positions, please email a cover letter and 
CV to Steven Jax at jaxs at einstein.edu, and  provide the names and email 
address of  2-3  professional references.
