[FieldTrip] Postdoctoral and Research Associate Positions at Haskins Laboratories

[Roeland Hancock]

Please see the below announcements for two research associate positions and
one postdoctoral position at Haskins Laboratories — successful applicants
for all positions will work on NIH funded projects focused on the
neurobiology of reading development and reading disability.


*Job Announcement, July 2016: Postdoctoral Fellow*

Haskins Laboratories, 300 George Street, Suite 900, New Haven CT 06511



Qualified individuals are invited to apply for a full-time Postdoctoral
Fellow position in the Haskins Imaging Lab (http://www.haskins.yale.edu/hil/)
at Haskins Laboratories. This position is supported by a new 5-year NIH
grant on the cognitive neuroscience of language and reading development in
children ages 6-12.  Specifically, this project will use Magnetic Resonance
Spectroscopy (MRS) alongside fMRI, EEG, and behavioral techniques to
understand typical and atypical language development. The successful
candidate will report to Project Co-Investigators Dr. Kenneth Pugh and Dr.
Fumiko Hoeft, work closely with Director of Neuroimaging Research Dr. Einar
Mencl and the Director of EEG research Dr. Nicole Landi, and be responsible
for coordination of multimodal imaging, data analysis, journal article
reporting, and supervision of Research Associates.

The successful candidate will join a team of researchers investigating the
neural bases of speech, language and reading using data from fMRI, EEG/ERP,
fNIRS, ultrasound, EMG and behavioral data from typical individuals, and
individuals with language disorders. This candidate will have the
opportunity to work on several projects on this grant, and to collaborate
with researchers at Haskins, University of Connecticut and Yale University.



*Minimum Qualifications*

• Ph.D. in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Communication
Disorders, Linguistics, or related field

• Significant research in cognitive neuroscience of language

• Excellent interpersonal skills

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills



*Preferred Qualifications*

• Experience with fMRI/sMRI, MRS, EEG data collection and analysis

• Experience with experimental presentation software such as E-Prime or
PsychoPy

• Experience working with children

• Data analysis and manipulation skills (e.g., Matlab, R, Python)



The initial appointment will be for one year, renewable after the first
year. Interested applicants should contact Tammy Ursini, Administrative
Coordinator (ursini at haskins.yale.edu) with cover letter, resume, copy of
(unofficial) transcripts, and the names of three potential references.
Please note “Job Posting 5016”, in the subject line of your email. This
position will remain open until filled, with an anticipated start date in
fall 2016. Compensation is commensurate with skills and experience.

Haskins Laboratories (www.haskins.yale.edu)  is a private, non-profit
research institute with a primary focus on speech, language, reading, and
their biological basis.  Haskins has long-standing, formal affiliations
with the University of Connecticut and Yale University.  Haskins
Laboratories is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

*Job Announcement, July 2016: Research Associate (2)*

Haskins Laboratories, 300 George Street, Suite 900, New Haven CT 06511

Project Director: Dr. Kenneth Pugh



Qualified individuals are invited to apply for two full-time Research
Associate positions at Haskins Laboratories. The successful candidates will
join a team of researchers investigating the cognitive and neural bases of
reading and language development using behavioral and neuroimaging data
(fMRI, EEG and NIRS) in typically developing and language impaired children
and adolescents.



We are accepting applications for two related positions:

1) *Behavioral testing and coordination*. This position will involve hands
on collection of behavioral and neuroimaging data, including standardized
assessments, with young children and adolescents. Applicants for this
position must have experience working with young children.

2) *Neuroimaging analysis and management*. This position will involve both
routine data manipulation and organization of neuroimaging data (MRI/fMRI,
EEG, fNIRS), as well as assisting with development of new analysis
strategies. Specific requirements for this position include strong
computing skills (scripting, data management) and data analysis skills.



Requirements include:

• BA or BS in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Computer Science or related
field

Additional relevant skills include:

• Experience with human research

• Experience administering standardized assessments

• Experience with neuroimaging

• Experience with experimental presentation software packages (e.g.,
E-PRIME, Presentation, PsychoPy)

• Experience with statistical analysis (e.g., SPSS, R, Matlab)

• Experience with data management software (e.g., FileMaker, Access, RedCap)



Interested applicants should contact Tammy Ursini, Administrative
Coordinator (ursini at haskins.yale.edu <kaja.jasinska at yale.edu>) with cover
letter, resume, copy of (unofficial) transcripts, and the names of three
potential references.  Please note “Job Posting 5015”, in the subject line
of your email and also indicate which of the two positions you are
interested in. These positions will remain open until filled, with an
anticipated start date of September, 2016.  Compensation is commensurate
with skills and experience.
