The Translational Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory (PI: Dr. Cameron Carter), is recruiting for a Junior Specialist (research assistant) position at the UC Davis Medical Center. Our research focuses primarily on studying the neural mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in psychotic disorders with additional interests in neuroimmune models of psychosis and mental health services research.

Broadly, the Translational Cognitive and Affective (TCAN) Laboratory studies the neural mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in psychotic illness. This position is to serve as a technical study coordinator for the “Effects of DLPFC tDCS on Cognition, Oscillations and GABA Levels in Schizophrenia” project at UC Davis Medical Center under Dr. Cameron Carter. The goal of the proposed research is to use a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to test a systems-neuroscience model of cognitive control deficits in schizophrenia. Specifically, we will use tDCS in combination with electrophysiology (EEG) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) methods to examine stimulation-induced changes in neural activity related to cognitive control in schizophrenia.
Applications can only be accepted via the UC Davis Recruit website. You can only be considered for the positions for which you apply, so please read the detailed descriptions available via each link. Positions have a one year appointment with an additional year based on performance, and we strongly consider applicants who are able to consider a two year commitment.
