RESEARCH SPECIALIST POSITION AT COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE LAB, University of Richmond, VA.

The Cognitive Neuroscience laboratory of Dr. Cindy Bukach is seeking a highly organized and energetic person to serve as full-time research specialist. The “Beyond Categories” lab conducts research on object and face recognition in cognitively intact and impaired individuals, using electrophysiology (EEG and ERP) and behavioral methods. Specifically, our lab studies the factors underlying how the brain becomes specialized for particular categories, and how this categorization influences behavior. For example, we are currently investigating how racial bias and other-race effects emerge and transform with changes in experience, task demands, and context. Bukach also directs PURSUE – a multi-institutional initiative to develop open-source electrophysiology training materials for undergraduates. This initiative includes online materials (https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.pursueerp.com__;!!Mih3wA!Wm_wNYEtIG_CU1iDsG48ZwkMXjaLrpRglHS6Qjr1KCQvBSV6nsGX7aMl4uWNI-ooykFMPA$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.pursueerp.com__;!!Mih3wA!Wm_wNYEtIG_CU1iDsG48ZwkMXjaLrpRglHS6Qjr1KCQvBSV6nsGX7aMl4uWNI-ooykFMPA$ >), a large EEG database, and faculty training workshops.
