[FieldTrip] Research Assistant Position Available in Human Brain Mapping at New York's Feinstein Institute for Medical Research

[David Groppe]

The Laboratory for Multimodal Human Brain Mapping at the Feinstein
Institute for Medical Research is looking for a research assistant to help
with their research into (1) improving the identification of functional and
pathological brain regions in individuals suffering from epilepsy, (2) the
neural mechanisms of cognition, and (3) characterizing macroscale human
brain networks. The lab works exclusively with patients being evaluated for
epilepsy surgery using methods such as electrocorticography, MRI, fMRI, and
direct electrical brain stimulation.

The responsibilities of the research assistant include assisting with the
collection and analysis of the aforementioned data, managing data archives
and lab equipment, working with a research coordinator on IRB matters, and
helping to present lab findings at conferences and in journals. This unique
position will expose the successful applicant to basic and clinical
neuroscience as well as neurosurgery and neurology. It is a great
opportunity for recent post-bacs interested in medical school or graduate
school in neuroscience/biomedical engineering. Past research assistants in
the lab have been co-authors on lab publications and have gone on to MD or
PhD programs after spending 1-2 years in the lab.


------------- Qualifications -------------

Minimum:
-B.A./B.S./B.E. in an appropriate discipline (e.g., neuroscience,
psychology, biomedical engineering, computer science, physics)
-1 year commitment

Highly Desirable:
-Experience with at least one programming language (preferably MATLAB)  and
statistical analyses
-Prior experience working with neuroimaging, EEG/MEG, or brain stimulation
data
-Previous experience working with patients
