Applicants with a background in programming and interest in working memory are encouraged to apply. Terms of employment include competitive salary and benefits.

Research in the Sreenivasan Lab (http://nyuad.nyu.edu/sreenivasan-lab ) focuses on the neurobiological mechanisms that constrain working memory ability.

The neuroimaging facilities at NYUAD include a 3T Prisma MRI, MEG, EEG, and eye tracking.

Responsibilities of the position include collecting behavioral and neurophysiological data, programming experiments and analysis routines, as well as managing the day-to-day functioning of the lab. Candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, though a master’s degree is preferred. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with MATLAB or an equivalent programming language, strong computational skills, and a background in experimental psychology or neuroscience. Organizational skills and attention to detail are essential.

Applications will be accepted immediately. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter/statement of research interests, a resume, and contact information for at least two references. If you have any questions, please email Dr. Kartik Sreenivasan kartik.sreenivasan@nyu.edu

The anticipated appointment is from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, with opportunity for renewal of the position for additional years following performance evaluation. The terms of employment include highly competitive salary, housing allowance, and other benefits.
