RA Job Opportunity at Univ of Illinois at Chicago

The Center for Cognitive Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago is seeking full-time Research Assistants in Clinical Psychology Research.

We anticipate that five (5) full-time paid Research Assistant Positions will open between March and June of 2010 in the Center for Cognitive Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Center is a large interdisciplinary program with investigators working in the areas of autism, schizophrenia, women’s health, HIV, ADHD and pediatric bipolar disorder. All of the projects involve work with clinical populations, including project coordination and neuropsychological evaluations. Many investigators use fMRI to study causes of cognitive deficits, and most conduct treatment protocols. Some studies involve family genetic and pharmacogenetic research. These positions provide an ideal way to gain experience in clinical psychology research with patients in a hospital setting for those interested in pursuing a graduate degree in psychology or medicine.

Applicants should have a BA or BS, preferably in Psychology or Cognitive Science. We ask that interested participants make at least a two year commitment because of the level of training involved.

Interested applicants should visit our website:
