The Computational Action Lab is located in the Department of Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. Our lab’s mission is to understand how humans master an almost limitless repertoire of movements, from brewing coffee to parallel parking. To achieve this, the lab uses a wide range of methods, including computational modeling, psychophysics, patient testing, and neuroimaging.
We are seeking applications for a full-time Lab Manager, (working closely with PI: Jonathan Tsay). The initial appointment will be for one year, with additional years contingent upon performance and funding availability. The position can start as early as August 2024.
Your core responsibilities will include:
- Leading human behavioral experiments to explore various aspects of human sensorimotor performance. Studies are conducted with neurologically healthy individuals and potentially those with neurological disorders.
- All facets of the research pipeline, including participant recruitment, data collection and analysis, project management, and writing/presenting findings from the project.
Flexibility, excellence, and passion are vital qualities within the Psychology Department. Inclusion, collaboration and cultural sensitivity are valued competencies at CMU. Therefore, we are in search of a team member who is able to effectively interact with a varied population of internal and external partners at a high level of integrity. We are looking for someone who shares our values and who will support the mission of the university through their work.
Qualifications:
- Applicants should have a B.A. or B.S. degree in psychology, statistics, neuroscience, computer science, engineering, or other related fields.
- The ideal candidate will possess strong interpersonal and quantitative skills, previous research and leadership experience, exemplary written and oral communication skills, the capability to manage multiple projects, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
