Good morning,



The UC Davis TCAN Lab is hiring a new research assistant. Please send the following job listing out to any listservs containing recent graduates who may be interested in a post-graduate, full-time research position. If you are not the appropriate contact person for this purpose, please share the contact information for the suggested contact.





Dr. Cameron Carter's Translational Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (TCAN) laboratory at the University of California, Davis invites applications for qualified candidates to fill an available Junior Specialist (research assistant) position for the "Effects of PFC tDCS on Cognitive Control, Attention Lapses, and Coordinated Neural Activity in the Theta and Alpha Bands" (tDCS) study at the UC Davis Medical Center. Our research focuses primarily on studying the neural mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in psychotic illness. The goal of this study is to use a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), to test a theoretical model in which attention lapses are regulated by the suite of cognitive control functions mediated by the prefrontal cortex (PFC). tDCS will be used in combination with electrophysiology (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methods to examine stimulation-induced changes in neural activity related to cognitive control in healthy adults. The incumbent will gain experience using technical, clinical, and study coordination skills.
