Research Assistant Position at the University of Chicago

RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO

The Memory and Perception in Schizophrenia (MAPS) laboratory is looking to hire a full-time research assistant to work on electroencephalography (EEG) studies of memory and perception in people with psychosis and other forms of serious mental illness.  This person will have opportunities to learn and practice clinical assessment and diagnosis, as well as to learn technical skills associated with EEG acquisition/analysis and computer programming.  Prior experience with these skills is preferred but not required.  Interested research assistants will have the opportunity to present work from the lab at national conferences, coauthor papers, and form connections with other researchers in the field.

The University of Chicago is located in Hyde Park, approximately 6 miles from downtown Chicago. The MAPS Laboratory is newly housed within the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neuroscience, which is home to a number of NIH-funded research teams (for more information visit https://psychiatry.uchicago.edu/).  An individual who fills this position will be expected to work effectively within the MAPS Lab team, as well as with other research teams within the Psychiatry Department to coordinate patient recruitment.  The ideal candidate will therefore be highly organized, motivated to learn challenging new skills, and have a warm and professional interpersonal style.

Interested candidates for this position should contact Dr. Molly Erickson (merickson1@uchicago.edu) for more information about how to apply.
