Research Technician (2 posts)

University of Plymouth (UK)

School of Psychology

Visual, cognitive and social neuroscience

The School of Psychology at the University of Plymouth (UK)  wishes to recruit Research Technicians (2 posts) to work on projects in cognitive and social neuroscience. The post will be based in research labs at the Centre for Brain, Cognition & Behaviour: http://psychology.plymouth.ac.uk/research/

The primary duties involve collecting data for human neuroscience research (e.g., electroencephalogram [EEG] experiments) under the supervision of Dr Haline Schendan and collaborators. The projects involve visual and cognitive neuroscience research on the brain basis of human semantic memory (i.e., meaning and conceptual understanding) based on pictorial images and social neuroscience research on the brain basis of deception (known popularly as lie detection). The tasks will require both practical skills and computer literacy to run the equipment, software, and maintain records. The research technician(s) will utilise and extend their current techniques and have an opportunity to develop skills in cognitive neuroscience, especially recording of EEG and event-related potentials (ERPs).

You will have a good degree qualification or equivalent in Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Psychology or related field. You should also have relevant experience of research in electroencephalography or relevant laboratory, computer, or biomedical based experience.

This is a fixed term position until 31 July 2012 (start date around 9 January 2012) for up to 37 hours per week; due to the start of new grants in 2012, it is anticipated that similar new fixed-term positions will become available for up to 4 years following the end date of these positions. Those seeking short or longer-term positions are welcome to apply.

SALARY GRADE: Technical Grade 3: £17677 to £19261 pa, pro rata

The closing date for completed applications is 14 December 2011 with interviews shortly thereafter.
