at the University of California, Irvine, is seeking a Junior or Assistant Specialist/Research
Assistant. This person will enable research as part of a team and, depending on
experience level, may also conduct some independent research projects. The Spatial
Neuroscience Lab uses dynamic and interdisciplinary research methods to answer
questions about how the brain processes information to keep us oriented as we
navigate through a complicated world. Our primary techniques are fully
immersive virtual reality and neuroscience brain imaging using functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG). The position is
ideal for recent graduates interested in pursuing graduate work in cognitive
neuroscience, medicine, psychology, or bioengineering as a way to gain
experience and make scientific and scholarly contributions to neuroscience. </span></p>
