The Neuroscience of Language Lab at George Washington University is accepting applications for a part-time lab coordinator beginning January 2013. We investigate the neural basis of language using a variety of techniques, including fMRI studies with healthy adults, behavioral studies with children, and studies of language breakdown after brain damage.
The lab coordinator’s administrative duties will include managing subject recruitment, maintaining IRB protocols, helping with grant applications, and training research assistants. In addition, the position will offer opportunities for deep engagement with the lab’s scientific goals, including participation in experimental design, stimulus creation, data collection and analysis.

The ideal applicant will have exceptional organization skills, good communication and interpersonal skills, and intellectual curiosity about cognition and the brain. This position requires a Bachelor’s degree in psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, or a related field. Additionally preferred qualifications include experience working with children and/or patients, prior research experience in a lab, and knowledge of data analysis procedures and software. Individuals who are interested in pursuing a research career are especially encouraged to apply.

The position is initially for the spring semester (until May) but can be extended another year if both parties are willing. Interested applicants should forward a cover letter, CV, and contact information for two referees to Dr. Malathi Thothathiri (malathi@gwu.edu).
