We are seeking a full-time Research Assistant to assist with cognitive neuroscience
experiments involving human intracranial EEG. Main topics of investigation are

patients, maintenance of equipment, databases and files, as well as data
analysis and manuscript preparation. Candidates who have experience with
neuroimaging data collection and analysis are especially encouraged to apply.
Other neuroimaging methods employed by the lab include fMRI and MEG. The
laboratory provides a unique exposure to both basic research and clinical
neuroscience.

biology, computer science or biomedical engineering. The position is ideal for
exceptional candidates seeking to pursue an advanced research degree in
neuroscience or a related field.
