Please note this newly posted UROP position description.  I am looking for

on Dec. 4th.   Please contact me if you are interested.

> A human subject study will be run in the spring of 2015 to ascertain
infrasound levels that can be sensed by a cross-sectional representation of
subjects.  Subjects between the ages of 18 and 80 will be enrolled in the
study.
>
> We need a lab monitor for the human subject testing that will begin in
January.  The study will enroll at least 20 subjects and each subject will
visit the lab for 4-5, one or one-and-a-half hour sessions.
>
> The lab monitor will have to take the on-line certification course for
human subject testing which takes a few hours and can be completed anyever
there is internet access.  The lab monitor will be trained to help subjects
understand the consent form and complete the pre-test survey. In addition,
he/she will be trained in how to operate the  sound booth and the software
(which is written mainly in MATLAB), and how to do the preliminary checks
of the data being acquired.
>
> The lab monitor must be organized and reliable as he/she will be setting
up appointments with the subjects and must then meet them at the lab at the
agreed upon time.  The lab monitor must have a high level of integrity, as
the results of the human subject tests must remain anonymous.
>
> There is no single background or interest set that is required.  We
envision that the lab monitor will be someone with an interest in human
perception of low-frequency sound, or someone with an interest in human
subject testing, or someone with an interest in scientific inquiry in
general.
