Position Summary

About the Lab

The Fyshe Lab studies the intersection of machine learning, natural language processing, and cognitive neuroscience - with a focus on how large language models represent meaning and how those representations compare to human neural activity. Our work spans behavioral experiments, EEG, and fMRI, alongside computational modeling of language models.
About the Role

We're looking for a Lab Manager to help keep our research running smoothly. You'll support the day-to-day operation of behavioral, EEG, and fMRI studies - from participant scheduling through to data handling - and help the lab stay organized as we juggle multiple concurrent projects. No prior experience with fMRI, EEG, or behavioral testing is required, but experience with any of these is an asset. Coding experience (e.g., Python) is preferred, as you may help with basic data organization, preprocessing scripts, or lab tooling.
