Postdoctoral Research Assistant (Cognitive Neuroscience)
Department of Psychiatry, Warneford Hospital, Oxford
Grade 7: £29,249 - £35,938 discretionary range to £39,257 p.a.
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the
Attention Group, headed by Dr Mark Stokes. You will be working on a
project investigating the brain mechanisms that mediate selective
inhibition for perception and working memory. The post is funded for 3
years and is based at the Oxford Centre for Human Brain activity
(http://www.ohba.ox.ac.uk/) in the Department of Psychiatry at the
Warneford Hospital.
You will be using a multimethodological approach, combining behavioural
measures with electrophysiological (MEG, EEG and TMS) and hemodynamic
brain-imaging (fMRI) methods.
You will have a PhD in a relevant discipline with strong background in
cognitive neuroscience research on attention and working memory.
Experience with MEG or fMRI is essential as is experience in programming
psychological tasks. Experience of TMS would be an advantage.
Owing to the nature of this position, any offer of employment with the
University will be subject to a satisfactory disclosure report from the
Criminal Records Bureau.
Only applications received before midday on Friday 20 July 2012 will be
considered. You will be required to upload a covering letter explaining
how you meet the job requirements, as well as a CV and details of two
referees as part of your online application.

Hi,
We've added Matlab 7.14 (R2012a) to the YNiC systems. The default has
not yet changed and remains 7.12 (R2011a). Details of the supported
versions are at:
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/ITPages/FAQ/Misc/SupportedVersions#Matlab
Can people please test the new Matlab version as we'll change the default in
September unless any major issues are found. We have removed Matlab 7.10
(R2010a) as per the upgrade timetable. (This has not been the default version
for over a year). We will also be looking to remove Matlab 7.8 in October
after one toolbox has been ported to a newer matlab version.
Thanks,
Mark

Dear Users
Today (starting 4.30 pm in YNiC open plan) there will be a project
proposal presentation by Giuliana Mazzoni, University of Hull, about
"Imaging Autobiographical Memory (ABM)"
Abstract: After a brief overview of what we know about ABM, in the talk
I will cover two new sets of findings that can change the current view
of ABM. One refers to the dissociation between remembering an
autobiographical event and believing the event happened. The second
refers to a superior form of autobiographical memory called
Hyperthymesia. Implications of these new findings and potential
developments using brain imaging techniques will be explored.
Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be served afterwards.
Best wishes
Rebecca

Dear Users
Sorry for the late notice but I have just realised that Monday and
Tuesday are bank holidays and that the Biocentre main doors will be
locked and alarmed. So, apologies, but the Imaging Centre will be closed
on the 4th and 5th.
We will reopen on the 6th.
