Position opening: Lab Manager, Penn State Human Electrophysiology Facility

The Human Electrophysiology Facility (HEF), part of Penn State's new Social and Life Sciences Imaging Center (SLIC), is currently recruiting for a LABORATORY MANAGER. The HEF is an EEG laboratory, equipped for low- and high-density EEG recording, and serves faculty from across a number of departments and colleges on Penn State's University Park campus. The LABORATORY MANAGER is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the lab's day-to-day operation, including training and overseeing lab assistants on all aspects of data collection, equipment care and maintenance, data management, data analysis, record-keeping, and coordination of lab schedules and operations with those of the SLIC. The lab is currently equipped with two high-density EEG systems, one low-density EEG system, one low-density MR-compatible EEG system, an eye-tracker, and a magnetic motion tracking system used for digitizing EEG sensor locations. Experience with EEG data collection and analysis, MATLAB programming, and experience with Mac OS/X, Windows XP, and Linux operating systems are highly desirable.

The position is a part-time position, requiring a minimum of 20 hrs per week. Depending on the availability of funds, it is highly likely that the number of hours will increase. This is a two-year position, available immediately, with the possibility of renewal contingent on performance.

To apply for the position, please send BY E-MAIL a cover letter, vita/resume, and the names of THREE professional references to Michael Wenger, HEF Laboratory Director, mjw19@psu.edu. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
