The Computational Memory Lab at the University of Pennsylvania (memory.psych.upenn.edu) seeks to hire an ambitious software developer who is eager to work with a team of cognitive scientists, neuroscientists, and engineers, on technologies that use brain stimulation to boost human cognitive abilities. The initial focus of this position will be on developing gaming technologies for the efficient measurement of memory functions and their neural correlates, and tools that enable these cognitive games to interact with cutting-edge brain recording technologies developed under the presidential BRAIN initiative. Current tools use a mix of Python, Java and C++/C# libraries. We will be seeking to revamp the existing software infrastructure to support realistic technologies for memory enhancement in human subjects. Research is being carried out in the DARPA-funded Restoring Active Memory program and National Institutes of Health grants to understand the neural correlates of human spatial and verbal memory. We are particularly interested in developers who thrive in a fast-paced research environment, and who want the challenge of building ‘first-in-human’ technologies using cutting edge tools. Experience with large scale programming projects, and solid knowledge of C++ or C# is required.

The Computational Memory Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania is hiring a Clinical Research Specialist to assist in the development of a novel brain stimulation therapy for patients with memory impairment. This full-time position is funded by DARPA as part of the Restoring Active Memory (RAM) project, a flagship neuro-engineering project within President Obama’s BRAIN Initiative. The successful candidate will join a multi-disciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, data scientists, and software developers to study the ways in which the brain stores and retrieves verbal and spatial memories. The selected candidate will administer memory tests and collect electrophysiological recordings from neurosurgical patients at medical centers in the Philadelphia area. He/she will also interface with research staff at leading neuroscience institutions around the country, coordinate regulatory submissions, process behavioral and electrophysiological data to produce experiment session reports, communicate results to physicians, and perform regular data quality audits. The ideal candidate possesses excellent interpersonal and organizational skills, a passion for advanced cutting-edge medical research and technology development, and some programming experience. This would be an ideal position for someone interested in ultimately pursuing graduate training in cognitive neuroscience, medicine, psychology, or bioengineering.
