    A full-time research assistant is being sought to support multiple NIH-funded projects in the labs of Dr. Pearl Chiu (Chiu Lab) and Dr. Brooks Casas (Casas Lab) at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at Virginia Tech Carilion in Roanoke, Virginia.

    Projects in the labs are highly interdisciplinary and combine methods from experimental and clinical psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics with functional neuroimaging and in vivo electrochemistry to investigate decision-making in healthy and clinical populations (focusing on adults with mood, anxiety, personality, or substance-use disorders, and at-risk youth).

    Data collection involves various modalities:
    behavioral tasks, imaging (e.g., fMRI), clinical interviews, and/or biological assays (e.g., urine, saliva). Training and supervision will be provided for all aspects of the position.


    This is an excellent position for candidates interested in graduate school in cognitive or clinical psychology, neuroscience, and related fields.

    For motivated individuals, there may be opportunities to be involved with data analysis.

    Required application materials:
    Cover letter, CV/Resume, and a list of references. Two letters of recommendation will be required prior to interview. Consideration of applications will begin immediately and will end once the position is filled. Anticipated start date would be early summer 2024.
