FULL-TIME RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITION AVAILABLE in VISION / ATTENTION / COGNITIVE SCIENCE (AND MEDICAL IMAGE PERCEPTION)
LOCATION: BOSTON, MA
START DATE: Late-Spring / Summer 2026
This position is in the Visual Attention Lab of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston (Jeremy Wolfe, PI). https://search.bwh.harvard.edu/new/index.html
We conduct psychophysical/behavioral research primarily in the area of visual attention. How do you find what you are looking for in a world full of things you are not looking for?
How do radiologists find a tumor in an x-ray? How do their eyes move when they are searching? Why do we miss things right in front of our eyes? How can we keep track of several things at the same time?
Healthy young adults are the experimental observers that we run in most experiments, though we sometimes work with children and/or the elderly.
Medical image perception, especially with radiologists as observers, is significant part of work of the lab. The position involves work throughout all stages of the research process, from planning experiments
and preparing documents for the human subject review board to helping write up results for publication; but the main focuses are data collection and analysis.
Research assistants typically attend and present at one scientific meeting each year, funding permitting.
This position requires a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. A major in Psychology or related field would be preferable, but is not necessary. Research experience is useful.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills are needed in order to successfully work with expert observers (e.g., radiologists) and with hospital administration.
A candidate should have computer experience and should be willing to learn how to use our statistics, graphics, and word processing packages. Programming experience is not necessary,
but familiarity with MATLAB/R and/or online experimental platforms and web development languages would be a significant plus. Familiarity with eye tracking would be another plus.
A candidate must be able to work in an organized, independent manner on multiple tasks and should be able to interact with subjects in a tactful and pleasant manner.
Reliable and detailed record keeping (e.g. posting results on-line and keeping track of lab purchases) is important. This is an excellent position for a recent college graduate
who wants to spend two or more years in a research setting before going on to graduate or medical school, especially if you are interested in visual attention and visual cognition.
NOTES:
- This is a paid position with full benefits.
- A two-year commitment is required.
- The position is not appropriate for those with advanced degrees.
- Visa and funding issues make it extremely difficult to hire non-US residents. Non-citizens with permission to work in the US (e.g., if you are on OPT) are welcome to apply.
The Visual Attention Lab is committed considering candidates from a wide range of backgrounds in hiring for this position.
This position could start anytime between about May 1 and Sept 1, depending on the candidate’s schedule (Finish college first!).
If interested, please send an email to Jeremy Wolfe. jwolfe@bwh.harvard.edu
Please send your materials before March 10, 2026.

The Scholar will assist with recruitment and scheduling families, collecting quantitative and qualitative behavioral data. The research project might involve investigating neural predictors recorded in infancy for these preschool cognitive and language skills. Experience with young children is essential for this position.
The Arnett Lab is seeking a Scholar to contribute to an investigation of genetic causes of ADHD in children and families. This study involves a collaboration with the Doan Lab, in the Department of Genetics and Genomics. The Scholar will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to recruit and enroll families, collect behavioral and diagnostic data, process DNA samples, and conduct functional analyses of genetic variants. Thus, this position will span both wet lab and human subjects research.
The Faja Lab has an opportunity for a Scholar - pending confirmation of funding - to participate in a clinical trial related to executive control and repetitive behaviors in autism. The Scholar will assist with biomarker and behavioral data collection and may have the opportunity to deliver intervention. Fluency in Spanish is required for this position.
