JOB DESCRIPTION

Please note: This is a full-time, term position

This full-time research assistant position is part of the Mood, Emotion, and Development Lab housed in the Department of Psychology and Human Development at Peabody College at Vanderbilt University and is responsible for overseeing the implementation of studies of neural and physiological predictors of depression and intervention outcomes in youth and families.  Primary responsibilities will include running EEG study sessions with young children and administering diagnostic interviews with parents.  The research assistant will report to the lab manager and lab director.  The ideal start date for this position is August 1, 2024.

With a genealogy dating to a one-room Nashville schoolhouse in 1785, Peabody College today is a world-class college of education and human development.  Our mission is to enhance the human condition, with a particular focus on children’s learning and development.  We do this as we always have, through the preparation of teachers and leaders;  through cycles of research, implementation, and refinement;  through service to families, schools, and communities;  and through external engagement with professionals, leaders, and policy-makers.  Peabody’s focus on learning differences has helped to define the college, as has a reputation for empirical rigor in educational neuroscience;  child, family, and community development;  special education;  the learning sciences;  and educational leadership and policy.  Peabody is devoted to creating opportunity in an increasingly diverse society and to solving large societal problems.

This position does not have supervisory responsibility;  this position reports administratively and functionally to the Lab Manager.
