    Research Assistant

The Computational Cognitive Neuroscience & Psychiatry Lab (Solway Lab) 
is hiring a research assistant to begin January 2018. A strong 
preference will be given to candidates that can start in January, 
however, *exceptions will be considered for extremely well qualified 
candidates that aren’t graduating until Spring/Summer 2018*, so please 
do apply. This position requires:

  * A strong programming background.
  * Some familiarity with or the ability to quickly learn Python,
    JavaScript, and interacting with Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.
  * A strong interest in learning more about experimental and
    computational approaches to cognitive neuroscience and psychiatry.

There are also several additional characteristics that are preferred, 
but are by no means required – we’re in an interdisciplinary field, and 
no one knows everything. However, you should have a strong interest in 
filling in gaps in your knowledge as the need arises.

  * Some experience with R, LaTeX, and version control.
  * Some experience with FSL or another neuroimaging analysis package.
  * Some exposure to experimental and/or mathematical/computational
    approaches to psychology/cognitive neuroscience/psychiatry.

*The ideal candidate is someone with some exposure to programming and/or 
computer science and who is interested in learning more about 
computational approaches to psychology/cognitive neuroscience/psychiatry 
before applying to graduate school.* Primary responsibilities include 
programming computer-based experiments and recruiting and running 
participants. Administrative tasks will include helping prepare grant 
applications and publications for submission, as well as performing 
whatever other activities are necessary to keep the lab running 
smoothly. You will also have the opportunity to be more directly 
involved in a research project and data analysis, and learn how to ask 
and answer questions in our field. More information on the lab is 
available at http://solwaylab.org.

To apply, e-mail your CV, a cover letter, and a list of references to 
solwaylab[at]gmail.com <http://gmail.com>. Be sure these documents 
address how your experience and skill set meet the above requirements. 
In particular, describe any programming classes you have taken and what 
programming experience you have outside of class. Also describe your 
long term goals and how you think this position will help you achieve them.
