Here in the Psychophysics and Imaging Neuroscience (PaIN) Lab at Emory, we study pain processing in people with and without chronic pain. We use a combination of quantitative sensory testing (QST) of thermal, mechanical, auditory, and visual stimuli (i.e. applying these stimuli to participants and measuring participants’ responses to the stimuli) and brain neuroimaging including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to better understand how pain is processed. The individual hired into this position will be the lead coordinator on an NIH-funded study of painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and will spend the majority of their efforts running that study. In addition, the CRC will often be asked to help with other studies and general laboratory tasks, as we are currently running several other studies, some in collaboration with researchers in Anesthesiology, Radiology, Dermatology, and the Marcus Autism Center.

We are looking for an organized and motivated individual who (ideally) has previous experience overseeing one or more human research projects. Prior experience with the main techniques our lab uses (i.e. QST and brain neuroimaging) or related techniques would certainly be a positive, but the individual could also learn the specifics of these techniques on the job. The PaIN Lab is committed to diversity and inclusion, supporting and promoting our trainees, and doing good science that will hopefully lead towards improvements in our ability to reduce suffering, especially for individuals who have chronic pain.
