RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITIONS

NEUROLOGY DEPARTMENT

Posted 8/30/07

The Cognitive and Clinical Neuropsychology Lab in the Neurology Department has openings for 2-3 research assistants, particularly students with research interests in cognitive science, neuroscience, or psychological science.

The research focuses on the measurement of executive cognitive processes, such as decision-making, reward based learning, and top-down control of action, in patients with neurodegenerative disease (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease).

Research assistants participate in administration of cognitive tasks to patients, data entry, lab meetings, journal club, and data analysis/discussion. The positions are unpaid, but provide opportunities to obtain research experience. Given the time investment to train, we hope to attract students who are interested in at least a 1 year commitment, granted the experience is a good fit. Research assistants should also be personable and comfortable in a patient setting.

Hours: 6-10 hours per week, preferably in 3 hour blocks
Days: Best days are Mondays - am or pm, Tues - preferably am to early pm, Thurs - preferably am, and Fri - preferably am. However, this is somewhat flexible and the times can be discussed individually with interested students.

Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Cognitive Science (CUJCS)

Electronic journal published by the Cognitive Science Student Association at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada

This is a forum for students to share work among peers and gain valuable experience in the process of getting an academic paper published. The journal is a unique reference for students, showcasing quality research by other undergraduate students, improving the contact and exchange of ideas between students and cognitive scientists alike, and illustrating the interdisciplinary work that is the hallmark of the field. Although preference will be given to Canadian students, contributions from elsewhere are strongly encouraged.

Based in Boston, Wediko operates the New Hampshire summer residential treatment program on our Windsor, NH campus for 125 boys and girls ages 6-18 with serious emotional and behavioral disorders (SED).

One of the most exciting parts of working at Wediko is the diversity of professional training, including: special education, counseling and school psychology, research, social work, psychiatric and community nursing, and psychiatry. 

We recruit staff members from all major areas of study, emphasizing personal qualities over related experience.  No matter their future directions, all staff members benefit from the close supervision of talented professionals and ample opportunities for individual and professional growth.

The Wediko experience and a strong Wediko reference travel well - both in job-hunting and in the graduate school application process.

A. Job Descriptions:

2. Special Education Assistants:  Plan and implement active, learner-centered language arts, math, and science curricula.  When not fulfilling the duties related to the classroom, Special Education Assistants join Residential Counselors in supervising a group of 8-10 children with SED.

The desire and ability to work long hours on a staff team helping troubled children, at times under stressful conditions is also required. Previous experience with children or adolescents is not a prerequisite. Personal qualities are even more important - such as the abilities to work hard, the work on a team, be flexible, and use constructive feedback.  Meeting the physical demands of a rugged 450-acre campus is also required.

C. Job dates: June 27 - August 23.  All staff participate in lectures and case conferences during two weeks of orientation - one week before the children arrive, and one week after the children leave.
