Posting Number: S07274P

Job Description:

The Department of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at UT Dallas has an opening for a Laboratory Technician to join the lab of Dr. Kathryn Smith.

This position will support an NIH -funded research project investigating biobehavioral mechanisms of loss of control eating and related eating-disorder psychopathology in children and adolescents. The position will be based at both the UTD Department of Psychology and the UTD Brain Health Imaging Center ( BHIC ). The candidate will oversee the implementation of the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) protocol and will serve as the lab’s day-to-day presence at BHIC .

Prior hands-on experience collecting neuroimaging data is highly preferred; training on study-specific protocols will be provided. Because participants are children and adolescents accompanied by a caregiver, the applicant must also be comfortable and skilled at engaging warmly and professionally with children and families, and at explaining study procedures in a developmentally appropriate way.

This position is grant funded. Continued employment is contingent on the availability of funds and satisfactory performance.
