POSTDOCTORAL POSITION investigating  SYNAESTHESIA

A postdoctoral position is available from October 2004 with a
multidisciplinary group associated with the Trinity College Institute of
Neuroscience (http://www.trinityneuroscience.com) studying the
characteristics and familiality of synaesthesia.   The research will
involve a combination of behavioural and neuroimaging techniques to
characterise in detail the phenotypes of individual synaesthetes and to
determine the familiality of these characteristics.  Candidates should have
a background in cognitive neuroscience (or a related discipline) and have
an interest in perception, multisensory integration and behavioural
genetics.  Experience with fMRI and/or EEG would be highly beneficial.  The
position is available for 2 years initially with the possibility of a 1
year extension.  Salary will be competitive and based on experience.
Deadline: 16th August, 2004.
