[vslist] Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience - Surrey

[David Rose]

University of Surrey

School of Human Sciences

Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience  (Ref: 3632)

As part of the University's strategic expansion in fundamental
Neuroscience research, the University is seeking to appoint an
outstanding researcher to a newly created Chair in Cognitive
Neuroscience in the Department of Psychology.

This appointment will add to the Department's existing research
strengths (rated 5 in the recent RAE) in Perception & Cognition,
Developmental Psychology, Social Psychology, and Work & Health
Psychology. The Department is well resourced, has a thriving
postgraduate community, and has excellent collaborative links with
other academic departments and clinical neuropsychology facilities in
the region. The Department is also part of a newly established
collaborative brain imaging consortium, based at nearby Royal
Holloway University of London, with its own research-dedicated
state-of-the-art fMRI facility (3-Tesla Siemen's Magnetom Trio).

This new appointment will be based on our Guildford campus, and will
spearhead and support Surrey's Neuroscience research effort.  While
applicants with outstanding research records in any aspect of
Cognitive Neuroscience will be considered, it is anticipated that the
person appointed will capitalise on our existing strengths in Visual
Cognition, Perception & Action or will add significantly to planned
expansion in research on Attention & Executive Processing.

Salary will be appropriate to the qualifications and experience of
the successful candidate, who will be asked to take up the
appointment as soon as possible.
