Research Specialist | The Biological Affect Modulation

3 weeks ago


Pittsburgh, United States University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Full time

The Biological Affect Modulation (BAM) lab is devoted to understanding onset and recovery from emotional disorders, such as depression and anxiety, with a specific focus on developing new neuroscience-derived behavioral treatments, including real-time fMRI neurofeedback. Using behavioral, physiological (EEG, galvanic skin response, heart rate, respiration), and functional imaging methods we seek to understand the physiological mechanisms of emotional information and autobiographical memory processing with the ultimate goal of developing techniques that allow individuals to modify these mechanisms directly (via real-time fMRI neurofeedback, for example).

We are seeking a Research Specialist that will be responsible for scheduling and running subjects with depression and borderline personality disorder through various fMRI and EEG protocols and maintaining contact through post study follow-up period.

This position is grant funded.

Responsibilities:

* Independently execute job functions for research protocol(s) including recruitment, scheduling appointments, obtaining written consent forms, collecting data by conducting phone or face to face interviews for research project(s).
* Collaborate with senior research personnel regarding recruitment, data collection, outcomes of interviews, reports according to the needs of the study.

Qualifications:

* Bachelor's degree required, preferably in Psychology, Neuroscience, Sociology or related research field.
* Minimum of one year of work experience in a research project and/or related clinical setting is required.
* Familiarity with computers and common software packages required.
* Working knowledge of research methodology strongly preferred.
