Description:
This full-time position in the Cognitive Network Neuroscience and Translation laboratory of Professor John Medaglia is for a motivated and dedicated data science researcher to assist with experiments that focus on dynamic brain processes that underlie cognition and control problems. By applying mathematically rigorous techniques in neuroimaging (fMRI, MRI, etc.), neuromodulation (TMS, tDCS), to the cognitive data of healthy and neurological populations, Dr. Medaglia’s work examines the intersections between complex systems science, cognitive neuroscience, and control engineering. The goal of this research is to develop novel theoretical and practical approaches to neurorehabilitation in the service of populations with higher cognitive dysfunction. The successful candidate will aid in the development of task stimuli, perform literature reviews, collect behavioral and neuroimaging data, create and apply code (Matlab,E-prime,python,etc.), and administer brain stimulation.
Required Qualifications:
A Bachelor’s Degree in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, computer science, biomedical engineering or related field and 0 to 1 year of experience; or equivalent combination of education and experience is required. Knowledge of statistics and psychological research methods, strong organizational ability, and excellent communication skills are required. Familiarity with applied data manipulation and analysis in MATLAB is essential and familiarity with programming is strongly desired.
Preferred Qualifications:
Masters Degree in cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience, or behavioral network science with minimum 1-year prior research experience. Candidates with prior knowledge of functional neuroimaging or non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS or tDCS) are desired but not required. Strong organization, excellent communication skills, the ability to work independently and to adjust to rapidly changing needs of primary investigator is required. Familiarity with applied data manipulation and analysis in MATLAB is essential.
Sincerely,
John D. Medaglia, Ph.D.
