*Laboratory research coordinator position in systems/cognitive neuroscience*



The Sensory and Motor Plasticity lab (SAMP Lab, PI: Ella Striem-Amit) at
Georgetown University is looking for a full-time laboratory research
coordinator.


We examine the balance between innate brain organization and
experience-dependent plasticity by studying people with sensory and motor
deprivation (e.g., blindness, dysmelia) using behavioral and neuroimaging
techniques.



The Laboratory Research Coordinator will work on projects involving
behavioral and fMRI testing of sensorimotor and visual processing, as well
as perform administrative duties.

The position is particularly suited for a recent graduate from a
Neuroscience, Psychology, Cognitive Science, Computer Science or related
undergraduate program who is seeking to work in an innovative research
environment in preparation for graduate school.



The primary duties and responsibilities of this position include:



·         Running Experiments for the lab: Recruit and interact with study
participants and run experiments in the lab (behavioral, fMRI), as well as
online behavioral experiments (e.g. Amazon Mechanical Turk). Administrative
responsibilities associated with these experiments, including maintaining
lab records, participant reimbursements, uploading and organizing data, and
managing IRB documentation and reviews.



·         Maintaining Infrastructure: Responsibility for purchasing
and maintaining
lab equipment and managing data storage, including fMRI equipment, lab
computers, and lab accounts on software and storage services.



·         Research Projects: Responsibility for carrying out independent
research projects and assistance with the research projects of students and
postdocs. These projects will involve a combination of behavior and fMRI of
actions in healthy and special populations. The laboratory research
coordinator will be expected to participate in all aspects of experiment
design, analysis, and communication, including creating stimuli and
experimental protocols, collecting and analyzing data, writing up results
for publication, and presenting findings at conferences.



·         Additional administrative duties: Interaction with outside
vendors, maintenance of laboratory records, assistance with coordinating
lab meetings, conference trips and visits.



Position duration: *At least two years of commitment is required. *

Start time: Flexible, preferably May to August 2021



Requirements:

BA/BS in Neuroscience, Psychology, Cognitive Science, Computer Science or
related scientific field

Experience with scientific computing (Matlab, Python, or R)

An ability to solve technical problems independently

Strong organizational skills

Ability to work well with others

Some prior research experience (experience with fMRI analyses an advantage)
