Research Assistant Moshe Bar Laboratory Department of Radiology Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School
Got a brain? Looking to understand how it makes sense of the world and gives rise to behavior? Ever considered applying to a graduate program in cognitive neuroscience? A few Research Assistant positions are now available in Dr. Moshe Bar's Visual NeuroCognition Laboratory (Harvard Medical School and MGH, Charlestown). Among the many topics explored by the lab, we are currently interested in understanding how the brain uses contextual associations (i.e., knowledge of which things tend to co-occur in an environment) to facilitate object recognition and to elucidate how visual properties of both objects and people elicit affective responses and first impressions (see http://barlab.mgh.harvard.edu for more information about our work). Combining psychophysical methods with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) we are able to characterize the cortical mechanisms underlying these processes, and track the flow of information in the cortex with an outstanding spatial and temporal resolution. As an RA in the lab you will help develop and run behavioral studies and learn how to collect and analyze brain-imaging data. In addition to having exposure to the world's most cutting-edge technologies and developing unique and highly marketable research skills, the position provides immense intellectual reward. Research Assistants are involved in all stages of research projects, from the conception of a hypothesis to the writing and submission of a research manuscript. If the chance to explore the relationship between the mind and the brain, to broaden your knowledge of cognitive neuroscience and to co-author a research paper piques your interest, contact: bar@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu
