[Jacqueline Gottlieb, PhD]

Research assistant in Cognitive Neuroscience (Neurophysiology)
Columbia University, New York City

We are looking for a motivated research assistant to participate in  
neurophysiological studies of attention and learning in monkeys. The  
responsibilities include the care and behavioral training of monkeys  
and assistance with daily lab operation. Depending on the skills and  
interest of the applicant, there is the opportunity to become active  
participant in research, including author on publications. The  
position is ideal for a recent undergraduate who wishes to experience  
neuroscience research prior to applying to graduate or medical school.

Candidates should have an undergraduate degree in Psychology,  
Neuroscience, Biology or related fields, familiarity and ease with  
computers and strong organizational and interpersonal skills.   
Expertise with programming, electronics and/or behavioral training is  
strongly desirable.

The laboratory is part of Keck-Mahoney Center for Brain and Behavior  
Research. We share a floor with 5 other groups also working in systems  
neuroscience and are particularly committed to maintaining a strongly  
interactive and collaborative atmosphere among the different  
laboratories.
