About The Position

The Research Associate I will work in the Biomedical Engineering Department within Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering. The research aims to understand relationships between local field potentials and action potentials recorded from nearby and the same electrodes. The role involves data analysis and experimental observation to determine these relationships. The researcher will present the work locally and potentially at conferences, prepare results for publication, and write and edit a scientific publication. The position includes conducting research experiments according to established protocols, documenting research accurately, summarizing statistical information, and preparing technical reports. The researcher may also program software and build and validate quantitative models. A bachelor's degree is required, though comparable knowledge demonstrated through a combination of education and relevant experience may be considered. Employment is full-time and fixed-term, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
