<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:Arial">The position requires a
Bachelor's degree and computer skills (Matlab programming knowledge is a plus).
Duties include recruiting and running subjects, managing undergraduate research
assistants, orchestrating dozens of projects conducted by postdocs, graduate
students and undergraduate researchers, overseeing day-to-day operations,
helping with IRB protocols, and helping with data analysis. Experience in a

authorship on academic publications. We are specifically looking for someone
interested in pursuing an academic career. All previous lab managers gained
authorship on several manuscripts and became grad students either in the SaC
lab or a different graduate program in psychology.</span></p>

an fMRI scanner in Dec 2015), and behavioral measures. Preference will be given
to those with prior related research experiences and/or an interest in future
research. The position is to start in August 2015 (with some flexibility), and
a one-year commitment is required (with the possibility of additional time).
