The Early NeuroCognitive Development (ENCoDe) Team is seeking a full-time temporary laboratory assistant. The ENCoDe Team is conducting research on the development of functional and structural neural changes involved in face processing and other perceptual and cognitive domains (e.g., attention, language). Most of the projects will involve infant participants and their families, but there will be opportunities to conduct research with young adults.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assist with the coordination and conduction of behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging experiments
- Assist with the management of recruitment activities and appointment scheduling
- Assist with the oversight of day-to-day functions of the lab and shared lab spaces dedicated to running research studies
- Developing and maintaining research partnerships with local community centers
- Assist with planning lab events, meetings, and community outreach events
- Assist with the management of lab equipment and supplies
- Maintaining a positive, welcoming, and supportive lab culture
This role requires the ability to effectively communicate research goals to diverse stakeholders (e.g., parents, collaborators), listening skills to understand people's questions/concerns, persistence to solve problems creatively, and willingness to learn new skills. Competitive candidates will have demonstrated interpersonal and organizational skills, professionalism, and an interest in cognitive development.
The position could include some non-traditional hours and travel to local organizations. Details will be defined on a case-by-case basis. However, the ability to work on a flexible schedule (evenings and weekends) to accommodate family schedules is an asset.
This is a fully in-person position that may provide opportunities to co-author presentations and publications. Therefore, it is an ideal position for candidates on the path to graduate school with strong interests in developmental cognitive neuroscience research.
This is a full-time temporary position for one year from the date of hire with the possibility of renewal contingent on performance and funding each 12 months. Flexible start date before July 2026.
