This is a casual, hourly position, with work scheduled on an as-needed basis depending on study activity.

At UBC, we believe that attracting and sustaining a diverse workforce is key to the successful pursuit of excellence in research, innovation, and learning for all faculty, staff and students. Our commitment to employment equity helps achieve inclusion and fairness, brings rich diversity to UBC as a workplace, and creates the necessary conditions for a rewarding career. 

Job Summary
The McKeown Lab at the Pacific Parkinson Research Centre, University of British Columbia (UBC), is seeking a certified Electroneurophysiology Technologist to support research studies involving simultaneous EEG recording and neuromodulation. This is a casual, hourly position, with work scheduled on an as-needed basis depending on study activity. In this role, you will be responsible for high-quality EEG acquisition in research participants, including clinical populations. You will apply your expertise in EEG setup, electrode placement (10–20 and 10–10 systems), signal monitoring, and troubleshooting to ensure accurate and reliable data collection during neuromodulation experiments. The position requires strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work effectively with patients and multidisciplinary research teams.

Organizational Status
This position reports directly to the Principal Investigator (PI) and works closely with research coordinators, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical collaborators. The technologist is expected to maintain professional and respectful interactions with all team members and research participants. Given the time-sensitive nature of EEG data collection sessions, responsiveness, flexibility, and reliability are essential. Sensitivity and professionalism when working with patient populations are critical.

Work Performed
Perform EEG setup and acquisition for research studies, including electrode placement using 10–20 and 10–10 configurations.

• Ensure proper skin preparation, impedance reduction, and signal quality prior to and during recordings.

• Monitor EEG signals in real time and troubleshoot artifacts (e.g., movement, muscle, electrical interference).

• Support simultaneous EEG recording during neuromodulation procedures (e.g., transcranial focused ultrasound), ensuring safe and artifact-minimized acquisition.

• Assist with synchronization of EEG data with external systems (e.g., stimulation devices, behavioral tasks).

• Maintain and prepare EEG equipment, including caps, amplifiers, and acquisition systems.

• Implement and follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) for EEG data collection and quality control.

• Assist in the documentation all session details, including setup parameters, issues encountered, and participant-specific considerations.

• Assist research staff in ensuring participant comfort and safety throughout sessions.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, clinicians, and researchers, to support experimental protocols.

Consequence of Error/Judgement
Errors in EEG setup, acquisition, or monitoring may compromise data quality, leading to unusable datasets and delays in research timelines. Poor judgment may affect participant safety, study integrity, and the reputation of the PI, the Pacific Parkinson Research Centre, and UBC.

Supervision Received
This position reports to the PI and the lab manager with support from full time technicians. The incumbent is expected to exercise judgment in troubleshooting and work planning.

Supervision Given
May provide guidance to trainees, students, or research staff on EEG setup, best practices, and data quality standards.

Minimum Qualifications
- Willingness to respect diverse perspectives, including perspectives in conflict with one’s own

- Demonstrates a commitment to enhancing one’s own awareness, knowledge, and skills related to equity, diversity, and inclusion

Preferred Qualifications

• Certification as an Electroneurophysiology Technologist (e.g., CLPNC, C.B.E.T., or equivalent recognized credential), international credentials considered.

• Demonstrated experience with EEG acquisition in clinical or research settings.

• Proficiency in electrode placement using 10–20 and 10–10 systems.

• Experience with EEG recording systems, signal monitoring, and artifact management.

• Familiarity with research environments and working with human participants (clinical populations preferred).

• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain high data quality standards.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential.

• Ability to work flexibly and willing to work on an on-call/hourly basis.

 

Note: This position may involve working with patient data, and strict adherence to privacy and ethical guidelines is required.
