    • Neuropsychologic Studies
    • Assist in the performance and scoring of neurocognitive assessments.
    • Data management and analysis

    • Perform data cleaning and pre-processing steps using programs like Matlab or Python.
    • Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (Strongly Desired)
    • Excellent communication skills, especially the ability to be sensitive to children with epilepsy and their families as many participants will have a recent diagnosis.
    • Ability to work well with children of varying ages. This includes the ability to be flexible and creative in performing studies to both make children comfortable while still obtaining high quality data.
    • Ability to prioritize responsibilities of the two projects appropriately and meet deadlines.
    • Ability to take initiative in solving problems
    • Meticulous organization skills.
    • Good problem-solving skills, including the ability to identify and trouble-shoot technical problems independently.
    • Computer literacy, including the ability to work with Microsoft Office Suite and a willingness to learn new programs such as Redcap.
