The research project, directed by Dr. Connie Duncan, involves assessment of brain structure and function in injured service members with mild traumatic brain injury.

Brain indices include event-related brain potentials, neuroimaging, and neurocognitive performance.

Patient recruitment, scheduling, and interviewing; electrophysiological and neurocognitive testing; data entry, processing, and analysis; maintaining databases and files; word processing; purchasing; and other duties in support of research projects.

Requirements:
Excellent academic record and research experience
English fluency
Bachelor's degree
A car and valid driver’s license
U.S. Citizenship
Previous experience with EEG/ERP recording, Excel, MATLAB, E-Prime, PowerPoint, and statistical packages (e.g., SPSS) is highly desirable.
Demonstrated ability to work in a team-oriented environment is essential. Some weekend work and flexible scheduling will be needed.

This position is ideal for an individual who seeks experience in clinical research before going on to graduate or medical school. The start date is the late spring/early summer of 2012, and we request a commitment of 2 years. A competitive salary and benefits package is offered and will be commensurate with qualifications. Interested candidates should send a cover letter, résumé, three letters of recommendation, and transcript by email to the Study Coordinator, Elizabeth Perla at [email protected]
