[visionlist] Postdoctoral Research Associate in fMRI (Neuroscience)

[Anya Hurlbert]

UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neuroimaging with fMRI
Salary Range £22,507 – 30,363
INSTITUTE of NEUROSCIENCE

A three-year post-doctoral research fellowship in fMRI neuroimaging is 
available in the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Newcastle 
upon Tyne. The fellowship is a dedicated research position associated with 
the university’s recently acquired 3T MRI system. The successful candidate 
will have strong research experience in fMRI and, preferably, expertise in 
a neuroscientific research area, but need not be an MR physicist. It is 
essential that the candidate be experienced in fMRI data analysis and have 
expertise in using software such as SPM or FSL.  The successful candidate 
will also be skilled in programming with at least one common language 
(preferably Matlab or C++), be familiar with proprietary stimulus display 
packages (e.g. ePrime or Presentation) and have a working understanding of 
image display technologies.  The research fellow will provide research 
support for several research projects in the areas of visual neuroscience, 
auditory neuroscience, somatosensory processing, and cognitive and clinical 
neuroscience. The main role of the fellow will be to help design and 
develop stimulus presentation and sequence paradigms, and to assist in fMRI 
data analysis. As such, the fellow will be a key figure in the development 
of distinct and diverse projects underpinning neuroimaging research.

The research fellow will be employed by the Institute of Neuroscience, and 
will work closely with  the team of MR physicists and engineers in 
Professor Andrew Blamire’s research group.
