COMPENSATION: See description below
POSITION DESCRIPTION:
The Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience, located in the Longwood Medical Area, are currently looking for a volunteer research assistant to work on research related to memory processes over the course of development. This position will focus on projects using behavioral coding and electrophysiological measures to investigate spatial memory abilities in 9- and 24-month-old infants, and adults. The research assistant will gain familiarity with several neuroscience research methods, including eye movement analysis, event-related potentials (ERPs), and EEG.
Responsibilities will include implementation of experiments with child participants and their parents, subject recruitment, and some data analysis. Weekend hours are required. This position is ideal for anyone considering future graduate study in experimental psychology, developmental psychology, or cognitive neuroscience or in pursuing medical school.
