Dear Division 20 Colleagues:
I have an opening in my lab for a Lab Manager/Research Assistant, to
begin this September. This is technically a temporary position at
Brandeis until December, but the expectation is that it will transition
into a regular position once my lab moves 12 miles east to Northeastern
in January.
If you know of anyone who might be interested in such a position, please
forward this ad to them. They can apply online at:
https://careers.brandeis.edu/ (Job ID: 520066)
and they can contact me directly if they have any questions.
Thanks!
Derek
RESEARCH ASSISTANT, PSYCHOLOGY
The Isaacowitz Lab is looking to hire a full-time research assistant to
coordinate studies 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. The Research
Assistant will also help coordinate the lab’s move to Northeastern
University. While this is initially a temporary position at Brandeis
through December 2011, the expectation is that it will continue in
January 2012 as a regular position at Northeastern.
Requirements:
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.
