Research AssistantsResearch assistants help with data collection and various lab tasks. Preference will be given to those who have taken the Laboratory in Behavioural Neuroscience course (PSYC 386), those who have prior experience with EEG-system preparation and setup, or those with a passion for learning about human electrophysiology. The ideal candidate would be one who wishes to pursue an Honours degree and/or graduate school in cognitive neuroscience.
If you are interested in applying, please contact Dr. John McDonald. |
Graduate StudentsOur current work focuses primarily on using EEG-based methods to investigate visual search, distraction, individual differences, working memory, and multi-sensory interactions. Students have the opportunity to explore analysis techniques including isolation of event-related potentials (ERPs), time-frequency analysis, and neural source analysis and imaging. Students get to work closely with Dr. John McDonald. There is the possibility for collaborative work with labs across North America, such as Canada Research Chair in experimental cognitive science, Dr. Pierre Jolicoeur, at the Université de Montréal.
Many students in the lab have gone on to have successful careers in academia and industry. For example: Dr. Jessica Green, Assistant Professor, University of South Carolina Dr. Clayton Hickey, Assistant Professor, University of Trento Dr. David Prime, Instructor, Douglas College Dr. Viola Störmer, Assistant Professor, University of California San Diego Dr. John Gaspar, UX Researcher, Google For more information, please contact Dr. John McDonald. Postdoctoral FellowsWe are currently looking to fill a post-doctoral position. The successful candidate would ideally have some background in EEG, although this isn't absolutely necessary. For additional information, please contact Dr. John McDonald.
