Postdoctoral Research Fellow to study Visual Neglect
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to take part in
a research programme studying visual neglect following stroke and its
treatment. The Fellow will be based at Charing Cross Hospital, London and,
in addition, there will be opportunities to conduct research at the
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, Queen Square.
The aim of the research programme is to investigate the components
underlying the neglect syndrome (using behavioural experimental
techniques), relate impairments to sites of brain damage and attempt to
treat neglect using several new methods. Ideally, the applicant will have a
background in either experimental psychology or visual or cognitive
neuroscience, and will have completed a doctoral thesis. Previous
experience of patient research is not essential.
The successful applicant will work with Dr. Masud Husain. The post is
funded by a five year grant from The Wellcome Trust. The appointment is for
three years. For informal enquiries contact Dr. M. Husain
(m.husain@ic.ac.uk).
Post-doctoral research fellow to study visual search
The Department of Sensorimotor control at Imperial College School of
Medicine has a vacancy for a research fellow to join a Wellcome Trust
funded research team. The successful applicant will work with Prof C
Kennard, Drís T. Hodgson and S.Mannan on a research program investigating
the functional neuroanatomy of visual search. The group is very well
resourced, having access to large patient populations and a variety of
experimental techniques including Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS),
functional magnetic resonance imaging, Event related potential and various
oculographic and kinematic recording devices.
The successful applicant will carry out studies using TMS to investigate
the brain regions involved in processes of attention and working memory
during the control of eye and hand movements. The position is available for
three years from October 2000. Applicants must have a PhD in Experimental
Psychology or other related discipline. Previous experience of the
kinematic analysis of hand and eye movement data and / or TMS would also be
an advantage. For further information please contact Dr T Hodgson
(t.hodgson@ic.ac.uk) or Prof C. Kennard (c.kennard@ic.ac.uk).
