Each Spring, we hire new full-time Research Assistant(s) at the Center for Cognitive Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Center is a large interdisciplinary program with investigators working in the areas of autism, schizophrenia, women's health, ADHD and pediatric bipolar disorder, pediatric neurology, and traumatic brain injury. All of the projects involve work with clinical populations, including project coordination, clinical assessments and neuropsychological evaluations. Many investigators use fMRI to learn about causes of cognitive deficits, and most conduct treatment protocols. Some studies involve family genetic and pharmacogenetic research. These positions provide an ideal way to gain experience in clinical psychology in a hospital setting for those interested in pursuing a graduate degree in psychology or medicine.

Applicants should have a BA or BS, preferably in Psychology or Cognitive Science. We ask that interested participants make at least a 2 year commitment because of the level of training involved.

Interested applicants should visit our website:http://ccm.psych.uic.edu, contact Jennifer Barrett, (jbarrett@psych.uic.edu) who can describe and answer questions about the positions, or forward resumes to John A. Sweeney, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Cognitive Medicine at jsweeney@psych.uic.edu.
