[visionlist] Full-time Lab Manager/Lab Tech Position Available

[Bruce Hansen]

Apologies for cross-listing.

The Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences and the Neuroscience
Program at Colgate University are seeking applications for a full-time lab
manager/lab tech for its Brain Recording & Cognitive Science (BRCS)
Laboratory. The BRCS lab is a common space that hosts the labs of Douglas N
Johnson, Spencer D Kelly, and Bruce C Hansen, and is primarily focused on
the following methodologies: stationary and remote high-density EEG,
high-definition tDCS, eye-tracking, augmented and virtual reality, and
psychophysics. Research conducted in the lab is generally focused on the
following themes: 1) determinants and correlates of visual selective
attention; metacognition and the relationship between metacognition,
learning strategies, and learning outcomes, 2) how bodily actions influence
language production and comprehension during communication and learning, 3)
how early neural signals provide distinctive codes for different visual
environments, and how such codes contribute to (and inform) intelligent
behavior. Additionally, the BRCS lab is host to a number of
transdisciplinary projects with faculty within and outside of the
department.



This is a great position for a recent college graduate who would like to
gain further experience in a full-time research setting before applying to
graduate school. The position comes with full benefits. A two-year
commitment is highly preferred.  The position is not appropriate for those
with advanced degrees.



The position would ideally start on November 1, 2023.  Review of
applications will begin on June 16 and continue until the position is
filled.



*Essential Functions:*

Responsibilities include assisting with all aspects of running experiments
that utilize: 1) stationary & remote EEG, 2) high-definition tDCS, 3)
eye-tracking, 4) augmented/virtual reality, and 5) psychophysical
techniques.  Specific duties include (but are not limited to): coordinating
and executing multiple experiments, assisting with experimental set-up
(including basic experiment programming), assisting the PIs and their
thesis/research students with EEG sensor
preparation/application/disinfecting, stimulus creation, assisting with the
training of new undergraduate RAs, assisting with classroom and community
outreach demonstrations, data processing, data analysis, data management,
and general lab organization and maintenance.

*Position Requirements:*

This position requires a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree.  A
major in Psychological Science, Neuroscience, Computer Science, or related
field is preferred.  Strong interpersonal and communication skills are
needed in order to successfully work with numerous undergraduate research
assistants and research participants.  Being technologically savvy, highly
organized, and able to work independently are also essential for this
position.  The successful candidate will possess some
experience/familiarity with computer programming (e.g., MATLAB, Python,
C/C++, etc.).  Some research experience with EEG, brain stimulation,
eye-tracking, or AR/VR technology would be useful.



Applications should be submitted through Colgate’s career site at:

should be directed to Bruce Hansen (bchansen at colgate.edu).
