SKILLS & COMPETENCIES REQUIRED:

Requirements:

* College degree (BS, BA, MS, MA) in Neuroscience, Psychology, Cognitive Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, or related fields.
* Courses, knowledge, and hands-on experience with human EEG recordings (1 year of prior experience with recording EEG is preferred). EEG Technologist certification is not required.

WORKING CONDITIONS:

* Normal office/research laboratory environment with little or no exposure to dust or extreme temperatures.
* Includes frequent exposure to strong magnetic fields. Conditions that prohibit working in high magnetic fields are not compatible with this position.
* Placing and tracking multiple TMS coils accurately with a TMS navigator system requires fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. This requires normal physical ability and can be physically demanding at times.
* Normal (corrected) vision and hearing is required to operate the instruments.
* During recordings, you may be required to wear hearing protection (ear plugs).
* Due to subject and instrument availability, the recordings may require flexible hours (mornings, evenings) during weekdays. Work during weekends is possible. There is no on-call duty during off-hours.
