  • Contribute to scholarly output by assisting with grant writing, proposal submissions, and manuscript preparation
  • Develop and implement experimental paradigms and tasks for active clinical research studies, including participant administration and data acquisition
  • Support long-term research strategy through project tracking, resource management, and cross-disciplinary collaboration

Essential Responsibilities

  • Conduct high fidelity experimentation in line with the objectives of the research program. (40%)
  • Collect and analyze data from the literature and from ongoing experimentation to support hypotheses. (25%)
  • Participate in writing research publications, presentations, and grant proposals. (20%)
