United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi

Description

The Perception and Active Cognition Laboratory in the Center for Brain & Health, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a junior research scientist to work on the mechanisms underlying cognitive and perceptual Speed of Processing.

The successful applicant will drive a fascinating project on the interactions between sleep, circadian rhythms, stress and Speed of Processing, in both healthy participants and in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (and potentially other health and mental health conditions). The Research Scientist will ensure the successful acquisition and analysis of experimental data, including behavioral and neuroimaging (EEG/MEG and/or MRI) data. These studies will be informed by computational modeling and will use cutting-edge data analysis methods. The project will build on recent work from the Melcher lab on the neural mechanisms underlying individual and clinical differences in visual temporal resolution and in classic measures of Speed of Processing such as the SDMT, as well as recent studies from our lab showing an influence of mood and stress on these measures.

Applicants must have at least a Bachelor’s degree in a field related to this project, or a Masters degree with less than 5 years of experience. Previous experience in similar research paradigms (behavioral and/or neuroimaging experiments with human participants) is required. Applicants with a strong background in coding (such as in Python or Matlab) are particularly encouraged to apply.

For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, statement of research interests, the name of three referees, and a transcript, all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please email Prof. Melcher at david.melcher@nyu.edu.
