Research Assistant
Affective & Clinical Neuroscience Laboratory
Northwestern University
Director: Robin Nusslock, PhD
We are hiring up to three (3) full-time with benefits research assistants to work on
NIH-funded projects examining the role of neuroimmune signaling in generating
both risk and resilience for mental and physical health problems. The goal of this
work is to better understand how "stress gets under the skin" during development to
increase risk for depression, addiction, and co-occurring cardiometabolic health
problems. This is an ideal position for a candidate interested in gaining hands-on
experience before pursuing medical school or a PhD program in neuroscience,
psychology, or a related field.
These positions involve collecting and managing multimodal data collected on
children, adolescents, and young adults. This includes self-report, behavioral, and
both structural and functional MRI data of the brain. These positions will also involve
lab management, including IRB correspondence, finance management, literature
reviews, and other administrative tasks.
The successful applicant will join our vibrant lab team and the exciting academic
community at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. The ideal applicant will have
a BS/BA and prior experience working or volunteering in a research lab. Positions
are guaranteed funding for one (1) year, with the possibility to extend based on
performance and grant funding. Please visit our website to learn more about our lab:
