Post Graduate Fellowships and/or Research Assistant Positions in Adolescent and Adult Forensic Psychology

The Clinical Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory of the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center (www.nrc-iol.org/ccnlab) at the Institute of Living has multiple post-graduate fellowships and/or full-time research assistant staff positions available (or starting Summer 2006) in clinical assessment. Post-graduate fellowship applicants must have an undergraduate degree nearing completion at time of hiring - students within commuting distance of the Olin Center may start part-time prior to graduation. Individuals applying for research assistant positions must have bachelor’s degree (MA and/or Ph.D. applicants also accepted) – pay will be commensurate with experience. All positions are open immediately until filled. Flexible start dates are possible for excellent candidates (i.e., Summer 2006). All candidates should possesses strong interest, and preferably experience, working with forensic (i.e., individuals on parole, probation or those who are incarcerated) and substance abusing populations. Position duties include working with a research team on several large grant funded studies examining the cognitive and neural systems underlying adolescent and adult psychopathy, substance abuse, and related illnesses. The positions entail recruitment and assessment of forensic participants for research. In particular, hires will learn to assess psychopathy via clinical interviews, conduct medical histories, perform neuropsychological testing and DSM-IV structured interviews and help with preparation of grants, ethics proposals, and manuscripts. Clinical assessment training will be provided. This is an excellent opportunity for recent college graduates who are seeking to go onto graduate or medical school – minimum commitment is one year – two years are highly preferred. Qualified hires will also receive training in brain imaging (event-related potentials (ERP) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)) data collection and analyses.  Please send cover letter of research training and interests, resume, and list of references to kent.kiehl@yale.edu 860-545-7385.

Post Graduate Fellowships and/or Research Assistant/Programmer Positions Multimodal Brain Imaging in Health and Psychopathology

The Clinical Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory of the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center (www.nrc-iol.org/ccnlab) at the Institute of Living has multiple post-graduate fellowships and/or full-time research assistant staff positions available (or starting Summer 2006) in brain imaging data collection and analyses. Post-graduate fellowship applicants must have an undergraduate degree nearing completion at time of hiring - students within commuting distance of the Olin Center may start part-time prior to graduation. Individuals applying for research assistant positions must have bachelor’s degree (MA and/or Ph.D. applicants also accepted) – pay will be commensurate with experience. All positions are open immediately until filled. Flexible start dates are possible for excellent candidates (i.e., Summer 2006). Duties will include developing psychological paradigms for cognitive studies, collection of electroencephalographic (EEG) and functional, structural, and diffuser tensor magnetic resonance imaging data, and analyses of unimodal and fusion of multimodal brain imaging data. Goals include advancement of psychological and pharmacological therapeutic and diagnostic techniques for major mental illnesses. All candidates should possesses experience with computers running MS Windows, DOS, Unix (Solaris and Linux), and signal processing and/or computer programming in Matlab, scripting languages, or higher level programming a plus.

Hires will develop a comprehensive understanding of cognitive neuroscience methods and analyses and will learn to run a state-of-the-art Siemens 3T MRI scanner. This is an excellent opportunity for recent college graduates who are seeking to go onto graduate or medical school – minimum commitment to job is one year – two years are highly preferred. Finally, qualified research assistants may develop, collect, and analyses their own functional imaging studies – former research staff have collected more than 100 participants in MRI studies - amply MRI scanner time is available. Please send cover letter of research training and interests, resume, and list of references to kent.kiehl@yale.edu 860-545-7385.

Programmer Position in Multimodal Brain Imaging

The Clinical Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory of the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center (www.nrc-iol.org/ccnlab) at the Institute of Living has a full-time programmer position in brain imaging analyses available immediately (or starting Summer 2006). A bachelor’s degree (MA and/or Ph.D. applicants also accepted) is required and pay will be commensurate with experience. Duties will include developing and programming analyses tools for electroencephalographic (EEG/ERP) and functional, structural, and diffuser tensor magnetic resonance imaging data, and analyses of unimodal and fusion of multimodal brain imaging data. All candidates should possess experience with multiple operating systems (i.e., MS Windows, DOS, Solaris and Linux), signal processing, and must be able to program in Matlab, scripting software, and higher level languages. Experience with principle component analyses (PCA) and/or independent component analyses (ICA) and statistical analyses a plus. Hires will develop a comprehensive understanding of cognitive neuroscience methods and analyses and will learn to run a state-of-the-art Siemens 3T MRI scanner.  This is an excellent opportunity for recent college graduates who are seeking to go onto graduate or medical school – minimum commitment is one year – two years are highly preferred.  Finally, qualified research assistants may develop, collect, and analyses their own functional imaging studies – former research staff have collected more than 100 participants in MRI studies - amply MRI scanner time is available.
