Join our lab

We are looking for motivated individuals interested in studying brain network organization, aging, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Ideal candidates are interested in:

• Brain networks and cognition
• Aging and Alzheimer’s disease
• Neuroimaging, computational, or cross-species approaches

Current projects span human neuroimaging cohorts and cross-species models of brain network aging.

Specific position openings will be posted on this page as they become available. We also consider applicants at all stages of training, including undergraduate research assistants, masters’ and medical student research internships, and postdoctoral training. Prospective doctoral students must apply through UTD’s doctoral programs according to their deadlines.

If your interests align with our research program, please reach out. As a first step, email a brief cover letter describing your research interests and goals, along with your CV/resume, to: gwig@utdallas.edu.

Summer 2026 research assistant openings:

We are recruiting a full-time Research Assistant for an NIH-funded, longitudinal study of brain network risk and resilience in midlife adulthood. The project examines how health, lifestyle, and environmental factors relate to brain and cognitive decline using neuroimaging, cognitive assessments, and physiological measures.

Responsibilities include participant recruitment and testing, data collection and management, and neuroimaging and behavioral data quality control.

This position is ideal for individuals seeking hands-on experience in human neuroscience research prior to graduate training. The role is in-person in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and requires local travel; a 2–3 year commitment is preferred.
