[Anne Treisman]

Applications are invited for a research assistant to work on visual
perception, memory, and attention, using both behavioral tasks and fMRI
methods.

The person appointed would help in the daily running of a laboratory
directed by Anne Treisman, programming and running behavioral
experiments, running participants in fMRI studies, analyzing data,
taking part in lab meetings and discussions, helping in the preparation
of papers for publication, and doing some library searches.  Programming
skill essential (not just word-processing), and undergraduate degree
with courses in Psychology preferred.  Experience with functional
magnetic resonance imaging would also be an advantage, but there may be
opportunities to learn these skills.  The Princeton Psychology
Department has recently acquired a3-Tesla Siemens Allegra (head-only)
scanner for research only.
The position would give the holder experience of research in a variety
of topics in experimental psychology and human brain imaging, which
would be an ideal preparation for graduate school in Cognitive
Psychology or Cognitive Neuroscience, or for professional training in
related areas.  There may also be some work with patients.  The position
is for one year in the first instance, with an expectation of renewal if
all goes well.  Starting date around August 15th, 2002.  Salary will be
commensurate with experience.
