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).
