Staff Research Assistant for Jeste Lab, UCLA Center for Autism Research and Treatment

The goal of Dr. Jeste's lab is to understand cognitive function and neurologically based endophenotypes in children with autism and related developmental disorders. The lab will use high density EEG and eye tracking, along with behavioral measurements, as the primary methods of assessment. The lab will be tightly integrated with other core centers in the UCLA Autism Center for Research and Treatment (CART), particularly the Infants at Risk for Autism core and the Intervention core.  The staff research assistant will work directly under the supervision of the principal investigator. Primary duties will include both hardware and software technical support for EEG and eye tracking, assistance in data acquisition, and data management. Because the lab in its inception stage, the research assistant will be important in helping to lay the foundation for the lab, both from a technical and personnel standpoint.  Specific experience with EGI (Electrical Geodesic, Inc) hardware and software (netstation, eprime) is strongly preferred, as is experience with programming. The RA will be given opportunities to be involved with poster or manuscript preparation as well.  Minimum bachelor's degree is required.

Post-doctoral fellow, Jeste Lab, UCLA Center for Autism Research and Treatment

The goal of Dr. Jeste's lab is to understand cognitive function and neurologically based endophenotypes in children with autism spectrum disorders and related developmental disorders. The lab will use high density EEG and eye tracking as the primary methods of assessment. The P.I. has a particular interest in implicit learning and motor impairment in children with autism. The lab will be tightly integrated with all cores in the Autism Center, and EEG will be used to characterize high-risk infants, to understand the effects of interventions on neural processing, and to define endophenotypes in specific genetic mutations associated with ASDs. The post doctoral fellow should have a training in developmental cognitive neuroscience or developmental psychology, and an interest in studying children with developmental disabilities. Prior experience with EEG or EGI (Electrical Geodesic, Inc) is not a requirement but comfort with programming (particularly matlab and eprime) is preferred.
