The Clinical Neuroscience Laboratory at the Department of Psychology at Ohio State University is seeking applications for a full-time research assistant position with funding for two years, contingent on performance. The laboratory is currently conducting several randomized controlled trials, designed to look at the effects of lifestyle interventions, such as mindfulness training and exercise intervention in improving cognitive and emotional control in older adults and in individuals with neurodegenerative disorders. We employ both behavioral and functional MRI techniques to better understand the behavioral and neural correlates of these interventions. This position is designed for individuals who are interested in building on the research experience that they already have and learn about the new field of health neuroscience. Applications are solicited from individuals with considerable programming experience, as well as experience in neuroimaging data analyses.
