[visionlist] Research assistant in Cognitive Neuroscience

[Jason Scimeca]

Research assistant in Cognitive Neuroscience
Northwestern University, Evanston, IL

We seek a research assistant for a joint lab manager position across two
labs at the Department of Psychology at Northwestern University (Prof. Joan
Chiao and Prof. Steve Franconeri).   Studies involve behavioral, fMRI, and
ERP studies of social/cultural neuroscience and visual cognition.  The
responsibilities include assisting in subject recruitment and running,
performing maintenance on laboratory equipment, data analysis, and training
and supervising undergraduate students. Depending on the skills and interest
of the applicant, there is the ample opportunity to become an active
participant in research. The position is ideal for a recent undergraduate
who wishes to experience neuroscience research prior to applying to graduate
or medical school, and provides a unique opportunity to experience two broad
programs of research.

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, prior
independent research experience, and/or statistics is strongly desirable.

The laboratory is part of Northwestern University's Psychology Department.
We are particularly committed to maintaining a strongly interactive and
collaborative atmosphere among different laboratories. Laboratory websites
are available below.
