The Schnur laboratory at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston is seeking a motivated, highly organized, and resourceful individual to recruit and assess acute stroke patients in a hospital setting and to collect neuroimaging as part of the NIH project "Recovery of Language and Theory of Mind after Stroke". The position is a full-time paid position starting Summer 2024.
Our laboratory enrolls participants in the acute phase of stroke recovery from three comprehensive stroke centers in the Texas Medical Center in Houston. The goal of the project is to understand the neural, cognitive, and social communication systems which contribute to recovery of language in the year following stroke. As a patient coordinator, you will learn to administer and assess detailed behavioral examinations of language and cognitive abilities to participants after brain-damage in coordination with a speech-language pathologist. Beyond recruiting and testing participants, the position will also involve organizing and analyzing behavioral and neuroimaging data and contributing to manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed journals. We enjoy collaborations with research groups in Houston as well as nationally and internationally. Our laboratory is located within the TIRR Memorial Hermann Research Center, a 10-minute walk to patient recruitment sites in the Texas Medical Center, 5-minutes from the Center for Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CAMRI), and a 10-minute walk to the Houston METRO Rail. At CAMRI, we collect quantitative and functional neuroimaging from patients and control participants on a state-of-the art 3T Siemens Prisma scanner.
Required: Previous academic experience in psychology, communication sciences and disorders, linguistics and/or neuroscience, a completed B.A./B.S. (or higher) degree, a strong academic background, and a two-year commitment.
