Post-doctoral position, brain imaging of perception and working memory, Oxford

3-years post-doctoral position, brain imaging of perception and working memory, Oxford (end: Friday 20 July 2012)

Postdoctoral Research Assistant (Cognitive Neuroscience)
Department of Psychiatry, Warneford Hospital, Oxford
Grade 7: £29,249 - £35,938 discretionary range to £39,257 p.a.

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the Attention Group, headed by Dr Mark Stokes. You will be working on a project investigating the brain mechanisms that mediate selective inhibition for perception and working memory. The post is funded for 3 years and is based at the Oxford Centre for Human Brain activity (http://www.ohba.ox.ac.uk/) in the Department of Psychiatry at the Warneford Hospital.

You will be using a multimethodological approach, combining behavioural measures with electrophysiological (MEG, EEG and TMS) and hemodynamic brain-imaging (fMRI) methods.

You will have a PhD in a relevant discipline with strong background in cognitive neuroscience research on attention and working memory. Experience with MEG or fMRI is essential as is experience in programming psychological tasks. Experience of TMS would be an advantage.

Owing to the nature of this position, any offer of employment with the University will be subject to a satisfactory disclosure report from the Criminal Records Bureau.

Only applications received before midday on Friday 20 July 2012 will be considered. You will be required to upload a covering letter explaining how you meet the job requirements, as well as a CV and details of two referees as part of your online application.
