Lab manager position in the UO SAN/DSN labs!

The Developmental and Social Affective Neuroscience Labs, under the supervision of Profs. Jennifer Pfeifer and Elliot Berkman in the Department of Psychology at the University of Oregon, are currently seeking a lab manager to support studies of motivation, self-regulation, self-evaluation and decision-making, to begin mid-Summer 2014 (exact dates flexible). The position requires a commitment of at least one year.

Our research uses a combination of fMRI, behavioral, and longitudinal methods with adolescents and adults. Responsibilities will include assisting with the coordination and testing of human subjects, acquiring and analyzing fMRI data, programming stimuli, web design, managing IRB submissions and protocols, and coordinating day-to-day lab administration. The ideal candidate would also be excited to make original, creative contributions to the laboratory’s research.

Candidates must have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, neuroscience, or a related field. Some experience with fMRI and computer programming (e.g., MATLAB, R, Python) is preferred but not a prerequisite; however, candidates who are not yet proficient with a programming language must feel comfortable learning technical aspects of programming and data analysis. Experience working with a range of populations including adolescents, high-risk individuals, and adult community samples – or a desire to learn about doing so – is also highly valued. Candidates must be highly motivated, organized, and have excellent interpersonal skills.
