The Church Lab (Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab) is looking for Research Assistants to assist with two ongoing behavioral and neuroimaging studies. Research in our lab currently focuses on the development of cognitive skills such as task switching and reading in late childhood and adolescence.
EF Study: We are looking to better understand similarities and differences in cognitive function and behavior between highly co-morbid developmental disorders of control. Our sample includes adolescents and young adults with or without diagnoses of ADHD, Autism, OCD, or Tourette Syndrome who are involved in a longitudinal behavioral and MRI study. Research assistants will help run participants through behavioral and neuroimaging sessions.
Summer Project: We are looking to better understand how learning interruptions interact with the developing brain and impact skill (e.g., reading, math) performance. Research assistants will help run 4th and 7th grade participants through behavioral and neuroimaging sessions before and after summer.
These projects are highly related in terms of the tasks we administer - research assistants will likely cross-train for these two protocols.
- Evening/Weekend availability
- Dependable, punctual, and communicative
- 10 hour per week commitment
- Comfortable working with children and families
- Spanish fluency is desirable, but not required
These protocols are ongoing throughout the year. Data collection will extend through 2024.
- Subject recruitment and scheduling via phone and email
- Preparation of session running materials
- Behavioral and neuroimaging session running with children and adolescents
- Conduct informed consent procedures with families
- Data entry via Redcap
