<b>ROCS Study Junior Specialist (1 position open)</b></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">
Broadly, the Translational Cognitive and Affective (TCAN) Laboratory studies the neural mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in psychotic illness. This position is to serve as a technical study coordinator for the “Effects of DLPFC tDCS on Cognition, Oscillations
and GABA Levels in Schizophrenia” project at UC Davis Medical Center under Dr. Cameron Carter. The goal of the proposed research is to use a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to test a systems-neuroscience
model of cognitive control deficits in schizophrenia. Specifically, we will use tDCS in combination with electrophysiology (EEG) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) methods to examine stimulation-induced changes in neural activity related to cognitive
control in schizophrenia. </p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 107%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">
The incumbent will coordinate many aspects of the research study. The incumbent will conduct tDCS, EEG and MRS experiment sessions. This will require the incumbent to consent study participants, schedule research appointments, and monitor progress through the
study procedures. The incumbent will use a variety of in-house and commercially available software to process the data, and will receive training on analysis pipelines for collected data. The incumbent will also assist in recruiting research participants and
conducting clinical interviews for research purposes under the supervision of a faculty member. The incumbent will manage study IRB protocols, adhering strictly to privacy and confidentiality laws. The incumbent will also manage data collection and organization,
including mentoring undergraduate volunteers in the input of data to multiple databases. Furthermore, the incumbent will be expected to actively participate in weekly lab meetings, journal club presentations, presentations from outside speakers, and weekly
workshops to help research assistants in the lab to develop their career goals.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Depending on their contribution and role in the lab the incumbent may have the opportunity to contribute to writing and review of relevant manuscripts.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Furthermore, the incumbent may have the opportunity to creatively contribute to the research project by proposing alternative analysis strategies, generate novel projects with existing data, review literature for manuscript preparation, and the ability
to submit data for presentation at relevant conferences, such as Society of Biological Psychiatry or Society for Neuroscience (if funding is available).<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>The incumbent will be actively and significantly involved in publishable research activities, including reviewing journal articles and engaging in discussions on research and the interpretation of research results with the PI and others in the lab. The
incumbent will also participate in one or more of the following activities: appropriate professional/technical societies or groups, such as our weekly career development group and other educational and research organizations; and review research proposals,
journal manuscripts, and publications related to area of expertise. The ideal candidate will have strong interpersonal, communication, and decision-making skills, as well as the ability to work well independently and as part of a team. Previous experience
with data collection and processing, particularly with MATLAB, tDCS, EEG and/or MRS, is desirable.
