Staff Research Associate

We are seeking a staff research associate to manage and collect data for a clinical research study involving noninvasive brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) in people who smoke cigarettes. The study also involves brain imaging using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Experience with human subjects research is necessary. Experience with any of these methods (rTMS, fMRI, MRS) is a bonus. The research associate will be heavily involved in participant screening and recruitment, regulatory compliance, data collection, and data management.

The role involves frequent participant interaction and will require the candidate to have very strong interpersonal skills. To apply, email a CV/resume and cover letter to npetersen@ucla.edu.
