Research Associates in Cognitive Neuroscience

Department of Visual Neuroscience, Imperial College London

Salary: £22,116 - £32,232 per annum (Starting salary up to £27,381) 
We are seeking a Research Associate to work in Cognitive Neuroscience. The post is for up to one year at the Department of Visual Neuroscience within the Division of Neuroscience and Mental Health based at the Charing Cross Campus, Imperial College London. A second post will be available from April 2006 for two years at the School of Psychology, Cardiff University.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic team studying vision and visually guided behaviour. This project, funded by the BBSRC, is specifically concerned with the interaction of cortical and subcortical pathways. Studies will include fMRI imaging, novel behavioural paradigms and psychophysics with both healthy volunteers and patients with focal brain lesions. Thus the post offers the opportunity to gain experience in a wide range of methodology. Importantly, you will be expected to fully contribute to designing new paradigms and shaping the future directions of this research. 

You should have a PhD in a relevant discipline (e.g. Psychology or Cognitive Neuroscience), along with previous experience in one of the following areas: fMRI imaging, experimental psychology, psychophysics. Most important is the ability to learn new techniques and contribute to developing novel experiments. Experience of programming and knowledge of statistical methods would be an advantage. The post is available for one year in the first instance. Informal enquiries may be made to Dr Petroc Sumner 020 8383 0584, p.sumner at imperial.ac.uk <mailto:p.sumner at imperial.ac.uk>  or Dr Masud Husain 020 8846 7283, m.husain at imperial.ac.uk <mailto:m.husain at imperial.ac.uk>  .
