Position description

The University of California, Berkeley, solicits applications for a Junior/Assistant Specialist, in the Building Blocks of Cognition Laboratory, directed by Dr. Silvia Bunge.

The Building Blocks of Cognition Laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley, headed by Professor Silvia Bunge, studies the cognitive and neural processes that support reasoning, memory, and goal-directed behavior in humans. To investigate these phenomena, the lab leverages behavioral, brain imaging, and eyetracking method are used. Junior/Asst Specialist will work on a National Institute of Mental Health project titled "Narrowing the mechanistic gap for anterior prefrontal cortex function".

The Junior/Assistant Specialist will work closely with Professor Bunge and the project team on this study. Depending on project status at the time of hire, the successful candidate may be involved in data collection: recruiting, screening, scheduling, and compensating participants, collecting behavioral data, assisting with scanning, and overseeing and coordinating with undergraduate research assistants and the scanner technician. The bulk of the position will involve analyzing fMRI and/or diffusion tensor imaging data and presenting and writing up the results for publication. The position will also involve managing data sharing with the research community, handling purchasing and reimbursements, organizing lab meetings and research team meetings. This project targets the lateral aspect of anterior PFC, a brain region whose anatomy in humans is not clearly defined and whose fundamental role in cognition is poorly understood. At a descriptive level, aLPFC is involved in multiple higher-level cognitive abilities. Here, we are investigating its function and connectivity with other brain regions at a more granular level via fMRI, structural MRI, and diffusion-weighted imaging on the 3 Tesla and 7 Tesla scanners at the Brain Imaging Center at UC Berkeley.

This project would be an excellent fit for individuals interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in the field of cognitive neuroscience.
