We are looking for a part-time (half-time) research study coordinator to work on individual differences in plasticity in blindness.  

The SAMP lab explores brain organization and experience-dependent plasticity by studying people born blind, deaf, or without hands, using behavioral and fMRI state-of-the-art analytical techniques. 

The research study coordinator will work on the topic of individual differences in plasticity in people born blind. Specifically, the project will test how brain plasticity in blindness may manifest differently in different individuals, and how these differences may account for their compensatory skills and use of assistive devices.

A B.A./B.Sc. in a relevant field and research experience with human participants are required. fMRI experience and programming skills (Matlab/R/python, etc.) are desirable but are not a requirement.

The start date is May-June 2024, but flexible in exceptional circumstances. A two-year commitment is required

To apply, please send your CV and a brief statement of research interests by email to Dr. Maria Czarnecka (mc2851@georgetown.edu) with the subject line: “Study coordinator application”.

We are recruiting Ph.D. students - through the Georgetown Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (IPN)
