The Sensory Questions in Development (SQUID) Lab and Healthy Brain Child Development (HBCD) Study fMRI Working Group at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine are hiring a full-time research assistant (Professional Rater I) to work on ongoing studies of infant and child neurodevelopment.
Main responsibilities for the SQUID Lab include administering fMRIs and behavioral assessments with participants ages birth to 14 years, assisting with screening, scheduling, and organizational tasks, and assisting with neuroimaging data processing and analysis. Main responsibilities for the HBCD fMRI Working Group include coordinating tech set ups across multiple sites and assisting with video processing as the next phase of the HBCD study gets underway.
We are part of a highly collaborative research group that values conducting rigorous and open science as well as mentoring and training. Applicants would work primarily with the SQUID Lab PI (Dr. Becca Schwarzlose) and HBCD fMRI Working Group members (Drs. Cat Camacho and Chad Sylvester).
This is the perfect position for recent grads or post-baccs looking to apply to graduate school. Drs. Schwarzlose, Camacho, and Sylvester have a history of providing quality mentorship with prior mentees learning extensive research and professional skills, contributing to (or leading) publications, and going on to PhD and MD programs.
