[Seiffert, A E]

FULL TIME RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITION:
Applications are invited for a full-time Research Analyst position available in the Perception, Attention and Control lab (PAC lab, http://www.psy.vanderbilt.edu/faculty/seiffert/) at Vanderbilt University Psychological Sciences (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/psychological_sciences/).  Research in the lab aims to understand how visual attention interacts with motion perception and visuo-motor systems to track objects.  We test healthy young adults following objects amidst distraction to determine how the brain calculates and tracks the motion of attended targets. The methods include human psychophysics, cognitive experiments, eye-tracking, virtual reality and human neuroimaging (fMRI). Training on any or all of these techniques will be offered. Responsibilities include helping to design experiments, screening and scheduling participants, collecting data, preparing, analyzing and archiving data, as well as writing research reports. The successful candidate should be able to work independently as well as function as a part of a multi-disciplined team. Organizational skills are important. The position requires a Bachelors degree.  A background in psychology, neuroscience or vision science is preferred.  New college graduates who are looking to spend a year or more gaining valuable research experience before going on to graduate or medical school are especially encouraged to apply.  Employee benefits are included as for all full-time staff appointments.  Starting date for the position is summer 2010 (flexible). A one-year commitment is required with, subject to the completion of a satisfactory probation period for new appointees, a possibility of reappointment for an additional year. Salary will be commensurate with experience.
