The Clinical Health, Emotion, and Neuroscience (CHEN) Laboratory at the Department of Neurological Sciences, University of Nebraska Medical Center is recruiting a full-time Clinical Research Associate (in-person) to study emotions and social connectedness in persons with dementia and their family caregivers using laboratory (e.g., psychophysiology, EEG/MEG/MRI) and real-world (e.g., wearables, smart-home devices) measures. Specifically, our current projects aim to better understand how persons with dementia and their family caregivers are interpersonally connected in their emotions, behaviors, autonomic nervous responses, and language, and how these connections affect their health and disease progression. We also aim to develop novel interventions (e.g., family members engaging in shared enjoyable activities) to promote social connectedness and health. The hire will also work with our collaborators in other research institutions and the industry. A background in psychology, computer science, information and data science, engineering, and/or biomechanics is preferred. People with diverse cultural or ethnic backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
