Graduated at California State University Dominguez Hills with two B.A's in Psychology and Philosophy
Recently received my Masters in Neuropsychology at UCLA with an emphasis on Behavioral Cognition.
I didn't move because I am just now getting back on my feet after 6 months of being out of work.
Heck with the aging demographics, there's a lot of demand for assessing and rehabbing patients. Every Alzheimers and rehab facility in the country probably has a couple Master degree NPsych people..
There's also a lot of work in linking medical imaging diagnostics with standard assessments of functional deficits. You might see who's trying to make money commercializing on accurate diagnosis from various brain imaging methods. Kinda on that border where neurologists meet psychologists meet venture capital...
Your right. I myself am trying to see if I can get a job at a research facility near my school. But right now as I was told many of the departments are on a budget crunch. Hell, even the professors at my school are still furloughing.
Trying to tell ya dude. It's because you're looking in CALIFORNIA universities.. Places where profs are being threatened with MINIMUM WAGE... Kinda weird, but here in Hillbilly Hollywood, one of my neighbors works at Cal State Hayward.. He freakin COMMUTES out there for 3 months at a time just to live HERE in Tennessee.
Plenty of research rich areas but probably NOT in the Cal State system. Look at the BIG companies.. GE, Siemens, Philips and see what brain imaging programs they are doing... Maybe hook up with someone on the biological side of Neuroscience to get ideas of who's developing hardware and techniques..
