The Translational Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience laboratory
(PI: Dr. Cameron Carter), is recruiting for a Junior Specialist (research
assistant) position at the UC Davis Medical Center. Our research focuses
primarily on studying the neural mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in
psychotic disorders with additional interests in neuroimmune models of
psychosis and mental health services research.
Applications can only be accepted via the UC
Davis Recruit website. You can only be considered for the positions for which you apply,
so please read the detailed descriptions available via each link.
Positions have a one year appointment with an additional year based on
performance, and we strongly consider applicants who are able to consider a two
year commitment.
For any additional questions about the
positions, please contact Vanessa Zarubin (vczarubin@ucdavis.edu).
ROCS Study
Junior Specialist (1 position open)
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. To apply, please visit the following page: https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF03194
