The
Behavioral Neuroscience Laboratory, led by Dr. Suzanne Corkin in the
Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT, is seeking a highly
motivated person to join a laboratory examining the changes in brain
structure and cognition that occur in healthy aging and age-related
degenerative disease. The successful candidate will participate in all
aspects of neuroimaging research, including study design, participant
recruitment and screening, data acquisition and processing, statistical
analysis, and publication; and have primary responsibility for lab
computer systems, networks, and data storage. This position is ideal
for those considering future graduate or medical studies. REQUIREMENTS:
strong organizational skills and proficiency with programming/scripting
(e.g., MATLAB, Python, csh/tcsh/bash) and Linux/UNIX operating systems.
Demonstrated interest and/or experience in neuroscience preferred, as
is familiarity with Mac OS X systems and end-user computer support.
Should be comfortable working with research participants of all ages,
including patients with neurodegenerative disease. Must be able to
obtain certification to operate critical research equipment (MRI/MEG
scanners). A one-year commitment is requested, with a possibility for
continued employment thereafter. In addition to a resume/CV,
application material should include a cover letter and the names of
