RESEARCH ASSISTANT, PSYCHOLOGY
The Emotion Lab in the Psychology Department/ Volen National Center for Complex Systems at Brandeis University is looking to hire a full-time research assistant to coordinate an NIA-funded study using eye tracking to investigate links between attention and emotion in adulthood and old age. The research assistant will be responsible for setting up research protocols, recruiting and running participants through the protocols, and managing and analyzing the data collected. While the research assistant will work closely with the Principal Investigator on all aspects of the studies, the lab is large and team-based, so the Research Assistant will be expected as to coordinate a team of undergraduate research volunteers who assist with the studies as well as to interact with other lab members (graduate students and post-docs), as well as to complete various lab-related organizational/administrative duties. Given the nature of the research we do in the lab, the Research Assistant must be comfortable with computers and computer technology, and must demonstrate a willingness to learn new software and methodologies independently.
Requirements: Two-year commitment required, starting in May or June of 2008 BA or BS in Psychology Experience in a lab environment, in Psychology or a closely-related discipline Prior experience with SPSS and some experimental software (e.g., Matlab) strongly preferred Prior experience with eye tracking advantageous but not required.
