Full-Time RA/Lab Manager at Brown University

Brown University

The Shenhav Lab (www.shenhavlab.org) is seeking a full-time lab manager. Our lab, located at Brown University, studies the cognitive neuroscience of affect, decision-making, and cognitive control. To accomplish this, we use a combination of behavioral measures, psychophysiology, neuroimaging, and computational models. 

The successful candidate will play an integral role in every stage of research, including (1) stimulus/task development, (2) recruitment and collection of human subject data (behavioral and neuroimaging studies), (3) analysis/modeling of data, and (4) assisting in the preparation of grants and manuscripts. In addition, in their managerial capacity they will perform administrative duties (e.g., IRB administration, purchasing) and help train and supervise lab personnel (e.g., undergraduate research assistants).

This position will in turn expose the individual to a wide array of theoretical and methodological approaches in psychology and neuroscience, providing an excellent launching pad for future graduate studies.

  • Bachelor’s degree in psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, computer science, or related field

  • Previous research experience in a psychology or neuroscience lab (minimum 1-2 years preferred)
