Job Description
UCSD Department of Psychiatry is one of the most innovative and productive academic departments in the country, offering challenging career opportunities in the diverse areas of advanced educational programs, cutting-edge research, and state-of-the-art clinical services. The department is committed to offering a dynamic learning environment and growing opportunities to its talented and dedicated employees. This project at the Neural Engineering & Translation Labs (NEATLabs) is investigating digital neurocognitive assessments paired with electroencephalography (EEG) and mobile digital interventions in psychiatric populations, particularly depression. The primary goal is to assess behavioral, cognitive and neural difference in humans across the lifespan, as well as advance novel personalized therapeutics that integrate brain stimulation (TMS) and machine learning. The project will help identify and characterize the specific cognitive, behavioral, electrophysiological, and functional brain changes that affect mental health and can be optimized to enhance wellbeing.
