Amherst, Virginia, United States University of Massachusetts Full time
About the Position

The University of Massachusetts is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Research Fellow to join the Somneuro Lab. As a Research Fellow, you will play a critical role in conducting experiments with young children, collecting and analyzing data, and contributing to the dissemination of research findings.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct experiments with young children, including MRI, behavioral, and sleep physiology data collection
  • Data processing and analysis
  • Training and supervising undergraduate students and project assistants
  • Performing general administrative duties, including data management, scheduling meetings, and helping with purchasing and equipment maintenance
  • Assisting with research protocols and compliance
  • Contributing to data dissemination (poster presentations, manuscript submissions)
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree
  • Previous research experience with human subjects
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
  • Ability to work independently with keen attention to detail
  • Excellent interpersonal skills; ability to interact effectively, professionally, and harmoniously with a diverse population of parents and children
  • Ability to organize and prioritize goals; ability to collaborate well to formulate plans and objectives
  • Previous experience working with children in some capacity
Preferred Qualifications
  • Demonstrated experience managing research assistants or other staff
  • Experience collecting MRI, EEG/polysomnography data
  • Strong computational and programming skills
Working Conditions

This position requires flexibility and mobility, as work takes place at various locations on campus and may involve visits to participant homes. The position also requires placing electrodes, monitoring EEG waves, and therefore requires a high level of visual acuity.

About the Somneuro Lab

The Somneuro Lab and program broadly focuses on sleep's role in memory across development and aging. We are particularly interested in neural mechanisms underlying sleep benefits to cognition and apply multiple tools to address these questions (MRI, EEG/polysomnography, behavioral assessments).

Work Schedule

This is a full-time position (40 hours/week). Work hours vary to meet the needs of research project. Often, hours are between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. However, sleep research may require intermittent overnight support (with flexibility as needed for research operations) and/or weekend testing.
