Position Available

The Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London (UK),
anticipates appointing 3 Research Associates/Post docs, for posts beginning
in October 98, or in January 1999. The appointments would be for 2 years in
the first instance, extendable for a further three years to yield a total
of 5 years in post. These appointments are part of a Medical Research
Council (UK) Programme grant, to be awarded to Prof Jon Driver & Dr Martin
Eimer, on "Crossmodal Attention and Spatial Representation". Our recent
work on this topic is illustrated by the Driver & Spence article in Trends
in Cognitive Science, 2, 254-261 (1998).

The responsibilities of each post would be as follows:

Post 1. Conducting ERP studies of crossmodal attention in normals, and in
neurological patients suffering from spatial attentional deficits, such as
neglect and/or extinction.

Post 2. Conducting functional imaging studies (fMRI, event-related fMRI and
PET) on the above topics.

Post 3. Clinical testing of neurological patients on these topics, plus
conducting psychophysical experiments.

The 3 post-holders would be expected to collaborate, and thus would have
some involvement with all of the methods. The Institute of Cognitive
Neuroscience offers a unique environment for interdisciplinary
collaborations of this kind. It is located right
next to the functional imaging lab of theWellcome Department of Cognitive
Neurology, and also to the National Hospital for Neurology and
Neurosurgery; and also includes many leading cognitive psychologists and
computational modellors among its personnel.

A first degree and PhD in Psychology or a related discipline are required,
together with relevant experience and a proven commitment to research.

Informal enquiries can be addressed to j.driver@ucl.ac.uk, and/or
me209@cam.ac.uk. Interested parties should send a brief c.v. and
the names of referees.
