Research Assistant I

The Motivated Cognition and Healthy Aging Lab (directed by Dr. Jennifer Crawford) at the Center for Vital Longevity, University of Texas at Dallas, is currently seeking to hire a full-time Research Assistant. The mission of the lab is to understand the earliest cognitive, affective, and motivational changes that co-occur with Alzheimer's disease pathology in middle and late life using the combination of multimodal neuroimaging, plasma biomarkers, and intensive longitudinal sampling.

This position will expose the individual to a wide array of theories and methods in cognitive aging, neuroscience, and Alzheimer's disease research, providing a unique opportunity to develop research skills and engage in professional development with a collaborative team. It would be a good fit for individuals aiming to gain intensive research skills prior to graduate school. We are looking for a hard-working, detail-oriented, and highly motivated bachelors-level researcher with skills in data collection.
