Belmont, United States Partners Healthcare System Full time

The Laboratory for Functional Neuroimaging & Bioinformatics (FNIBI) at McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA is hiring a full-time Sr. Clinical Research Assistant. The FNIBI conducts research to understand the nature and underlying biology of mental and neurological illnesses. One of our goals is to develop naturalistic approaches for dynamic assessment of verbal and non-verbal communication in real-world settings, specifically tailored for individuals with a mental or cognitive impairment. In this research, we use behavioral, multimodal neurophysiological, and computational methods to characterize behavior at multiple levels, and identify phenotypes of communication malfunction.

Working under the supervision of Dr. Einat Liebenthal (Principal Investigator), the Sr. Clinical Research Assistant will work on a project titled Naturalistic Neuroimaging for Presurgical Language Mapping, funded by the NIH/NIDCD. As part of this project, language functions associated with movie-watching are evaluated in individuals with stroke-induced aphasia and healthy controls, using behavioral, eye-tracking, and neuroimaging methods.

A two-year commitment from the candidate is requested. The position offers an excellent opportunity for an individual in a doctoral program, particularly in the areas of cognitive neuroscience or speech language pathology. This position provides exposure to a multi-disciplinary team of researchers and clinicians, as well as opportunities to attend academic conferences.
