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

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, recruiting and scheduling of control subjects and patients, testing and recording from intracranial 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.

The position requires interaction with patients and hospital staff and therefore excellent verbal and interpersonal skills are required. Must be well-organized and detail oriented; extensive computer experience strongly preferred, with programming highly desirable.
