2 Research Assistant Positions in Understanding heterogeneity in the AUTISMS

The Neurodevelopmental Disorders research unit at IIT, led by Michael Lombardo at CNCS@UniTn in Rovereto, studies multilevel heterogeneity in the autisms and aims to identify stratification markers that delineate important distinctions among autistic individuals and subtypes of patients. The lab uses observational behavioural methods, neuropsychological testing, eye tracking, EEG, MRI and fMRI. Two research assistants will support PhD students, postdocs, the PI and international collaborators, mainly by recruiting participants for new studies and collecting research data in eye-tracking, EEG and fMRI experiments.

The fellow positions on collaboration contracts pay a gross annual salary of about 22,500 euros.

Bachelor's or master's degree in a related discipline such as psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience or cognitive science; good command of Italian and English; good organizational skills; prior research experience with children and/or adults with neurodevelopmental disorders. Training in clinical assessments such as IQ testing or the ADOS and statistics or coding skills (MATLAB, R, Python) are additional assets. Applications include a detailed CV, a cover letter and two reference letters.
