Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI), Philadelphia/Elkins Park, PA

(Summer/Fall, 2025)

The Memory and Perception (MAP) Lab of the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute is looking for a BA/BS-level research assistant to support cognitive neuroscience research on how perception and memory systems contribute to the acquisition and representation of knowledge in neurotypical individuals and stroke survivors with cognitive impairments. We use a variety of methods, including fMRI, behavioral testing, and eye tracking to conduct basic research with the aim of promoting effective neurorehabilitation.

The position is now open and will continue for a minimum of two years. The MRRI is a unique environment with a highly active research community situated in the context of a rehabilitation hospital (https://rehabilitationresearch.jefferson.edu). Thus, this is an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to develop research skills while working directly on experiments; to coauthor manuscripts and present work at scientific conferences; and to participate in scholarly activities at the MRRI.



A bachelor’s degree is required for this position. Applicants should have a strong academic background in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, statistics, MR physics, or a related field. Preference will be given to applicants with prior research experience with human subjects. Prior relevant clinical experience will also be considered. Other desired qualifications include excellent organizational and communication skills, and the ability to flexibly learn new techniques in a dynamic environment.



If you think that you would be a good fit, please apply by sending an email to Dr. Andrew Persichetti – andrew.persichetti at jefferson.edu – with the subject line “RA Application: [Your Name]”.



In your email, please include a brief statement that includes: 1) your undergraduate major; 2) a description of any relevant experience with research, programming, or math/statistics; 3) a brief statement of why you are interested in working in the MAP lab; and 4) contact information for at least two professional references that can provide letters detailing your performance in prior research or clinical roles.
