This study is under the direction of Dr. Wilsaan Joiner and in collaboration with Dr. Cameron Carter’s Translational Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (TCAN) Laboratory.
The goal of the study is to use tools from cognitive neuroscience to explore how disruptions in a person’s ability to distinguish external versus self-initiated actions may influence visual perception and contribute to positive symptoms of psychosis (e.g., hallucinations and delusions). The incumbent will benefit from the opportunity to take part in research that spans two laboratories with expertise in sensorimotor integration and psychosis.
Two positions are being offered, a study coordinator position that focuses primarily on patient recruitment and clinical assessments (https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF03555) and a technically oriented position that focuses on neuroimaging data collection and analysis (https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF03559). Please apply to one or both positions depending on your interests and career goals.
