Neuroscience Laboratory Associate in Research Position
The SPACE lab at Duke University (SPAtial coding via Computation and Experiments, www.duke.edu/~jmgroh) seeks a full time research technician. Our research involves visual, auditory, and multisensory processing in the brain using neurophysiological and computational/statistical techniques.
The ideal candidate will have training in the domain of neuroscience/psychology as well as coursework in a computational/quantitative subject area (such as statistics, computer science, engineering, physics, or math), and be willing to make a 2+ year commitment to the position. Previous holders of this position have participated actively in the development of research projects in the laboratory and have gone on to graduate school in neuroscience.
Primary job duties include training macaques on behavioral tasks and assisting lab members with miscellaneous coding projects. In addition, the ideal candidate will assist the current lab manager with general animal care responsibilities, regulatory compliance, and miscellaneous administrative tasks. Experience in coding or interest in expanding coding skills (e.g. matlab, R, or python) will facilitate additional in-depth research opportunities concerning neural representations and interactions between vision and hearing.
A completed a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience or a relevant quantitative field is required prior to the start date (April-June 2022). Previous experience working with a mammalian species in a laboratory setting is a plus. However, we are interested in hearing from candidates with experience in some but not necessarily all of the areas mentioned – this is a starter position for a motivated individual who wants to gain skills and advance in this field.
For more information, send resume, cover letter, and a list of references via email to Dr. Jennifer Groh (jmgroh@xxxxxxxx, Depts of Psychology and Neuroscience, Neurobiology, Computer Science, and Biomedical Engineering) as soon as possible. Review will begin March 7, 2022 and continue until the position is filled.
