[Frank Tong]

RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITION, VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY
COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE OF VISUAL PERCEPTION AND RECOGNITION

A full-time research assistant position is available in the lab of 
Frank Tong to work on functional neuroimaging (fMRI) studies of human 
visual perception.  The lab will be moving to the Vanderbilt University 
in Fall 2004.  Lab research focuses on the neural basis of visual 
perception, face and object recognition, attention and visual 
awareness.

Responsibilities include: assisting with fMRI and behavioral studies, 
analyzing data, learning how to operate new equipment and software 
packages for data analysis, conducting literature searches, and 
assisting in the organization and maintenance of the lab.  Many fMRI 
data analyses involve retinotopic mapping and cortical flattening, GLM 
analyses, and custom data analyses performed in Matlab.  Opportunities 
to help conduct transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or EEG research 
are also possible.  BA/BS required.  Strong computer skills and 
experience with multiple platforms (i.e., Mac, Unix, PC) are also 
required.  General knowledge in the areas of visual perception, 
cognitive psychology or neuroscience is recommended.  Experience in 
computer programming is a definite plus.

This position offers excellent training for students who wish to pursue 
a career in cognitive neuroscience or visual cognition.  Position start 
date is Sept 1, 2004 but can be flexible.  Salary and rank will be 
commensurate with experience.
