Overview

The lab of Dr. Yael Niv at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute and the Department of Psychology at Princeton University (nivlab.princeton.edu) is seeking a bright and motivated full-time lab manager/research assistant. We are a computational modeling lab that focuses on understanding human learning and decision making, and how they relate to mental health.

The position provides an excellent opportunity to further develop research skills in computational modeling and experimental analysis, and to learn about the psychology and neuroscience of learning and decision making. It is an excellent spring board for someone potentially interested in going to graduate school in this area in the future. The successful applicant will be an energetic, self-directed learner with strong and proven programming abilities and a keen interest in the lab's research. This is a one-year position with the possibility (and expectation) of renewal for a second year. Note that unfortunately we cannot extend OPT work visas for a second year, and the aim is for this position to be a two-year position.

All applications should include a cover letter stating background and professional interests, a CV, and contact information of two references.

Responsibilities

- Research work (helping design and implement online experiments, simulating models of learning and decision-making, assistance in fMRI experiments).

- Administrative lab management (IRB protocols, managing the lab wiki and websites)

Qualifications

- B.A. or equivalent majoring in neuroscience, psychology, computer science or related field.

- Proven programming ability (Python or equivalent).

This position is subject to the University's background check policy.

Princeton University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
