[zoe kourtzi]

A Roberts Fellowship in Ageing & Brain Development is available in the
School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, UK from October 2006.

The School of Psychology at the University of Birmingham is one of the best
departments in the UK (5* RAE 2000) with strong expertise in cognitive
neuroscience. It provides sate-of-the art equipment for behavioural,
neuropsychological and imaging (fMRI, EEG, TMS) research and is one of the
primary founders of the Birmingham University Imaging Centre.

This independent research position will last for five years in the first
instance; however, subject to normal probationary procedures will lead to a
permanent academic position. Successful applicants will be required to
perform some teaching in the last three years of the fellowship as
preparation for a long-term academic appointment. 

Candidates will be expected to demonstrate high levels of research
achievement, the potential to develop into research leaders of the future
with a high degree of compatibility with the University's research strategy.
Candidates should have background and hold a Ph.D. in Neuroscience,
Cognitive Psychology, Physics, Engineering or a related field and have
research interests in ageing, brain development and neuroimaging.

Applications should include a full CV with a covering letter stating the
area(s) of research achievement, together with the names and addresses of
three referees that may be contacted. Electronic applications are preferred
and should be submitted stating the reference number(31981) to:
Researchfellow at bham.ac.uk by Friday 30th June 2006
