About The Position

The McKeown Lab at the Pacific Parkinson Research Centre, University of British Columbia (UBC), is seeking a certified Electroneurophysiology Technologist to support research studies involving simultaneous EEG recording and neuromodulation. This is a casual, hourly position, with work scheduled on an as-needed basis depending on study activity. In this role, you will be responsible for high-quality EEG acquisition in research participants, including clinical populations. You will apply your expertise in EEG setup, electrode placement (10–20 and 10–10 systems), signal monitoring, and troubleshooting to ensure accurate and reliable data collection during neuromodulation experiments. The position requires strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively with patients and multidisciplinary research teams.

Requirements

Willingness to respect diverse perspectives, including perspectives in conflict with one’s own
Demonstrates a commitment to enhancing one’s own awareness, knowledge, and skills related to equity, diversity, and inclusion
Ability to work flexibly and willing to work on an on-call/hourly basis.
Strict adherence to privacy and ethical guidelines is required.

Nice To Haves

Certification as an Electroneurophysiology Technologist (e.g., CLPNC, C.B.E.T., or equivalent recognized credential), international credentials considered.
Demonstrated experience with EEG acquisition in clinical or research settings.
Proficiency in electrode placement using 10–20 and 10–10 systems.
Experience with EEG recording systems, signal monitoring, and artifact management.
Familiarity with research environments and working with human participants (clinical populations preferred).
Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain high data quality standards.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential.

Responsibilities

Perform EEG setup and acquisition for research studies, including electrode placement using 10–20 and 10–10 configurations.
Ensure proper skin preparation, impedance reduction, and signal quality prior to and during recordings.
Monitor EEG signals in real time and troubleshoot artifacts (e.g., movement, muscle, electrical interference).
Support simultaneous EEG recording during neuromodulation procedures (e.g., transcranial focused ultrasound), ensuring safe and artifact-minimized acquisition.
Assist with synchronization of EEG data with external systems (e.g., stimulation devices, behavioral tasks).
Maintain and prepare EEG equipment, including caps, amplifiers, and acquisition systems.
Implement and follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) for EEG data collection and quality control.
Assist in the documentation all session details, including setup parameters, issues encountered, and participant-specific considerations.
Assist research staff in ensuring participant comfort and safety throughout sessions.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, clinicians, and researchers, to support experimental protocols.
