*Postdoctoral Research Fellow*
Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, John Radcliffe Hospital,
Oxford
Grade 7: £32,817 - £40,322 per annum. (A less experienced candidate may
be appointed at Grade 6 (£29,176 - £34,804 p.a.) with a commensurate
adjustment in essential criteria, responsibilities and duties)
We are seeking a postdoctoral research fellow to join a 4-year
MRC-funded research programme led by Dr Betina Ip and Professor Holly
Bridge, based at the Wellcome Integrative Neuroimaging (WIN) Centre,
part of the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the
University of Oxford. The role will investigate the neural mechanisms
underlying binocular vision plasticity.
The successful candidate will conduct research to evaluate the potential
of the binocular visual system to reorganise in the normal and abnormal
visual system using a combination of complementary approaches. Alongside
the focus the project has on neurochemical measures measured with
magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the postholder will also employ visual
perceptual learning, pharmacological manipulation, models of binocular
vision abnormality and multimodal MRI (MRS, MRI, DTI, RSN). They will
design and perform original research within this programme and bring to
this position relevant expertise in behavioural psychophysics and/or
non-invasive brain imaging.
It is essential that the postholder hold, or be nearing to completion
of, a PhD or DPhil in Neuroscience or other relevant discipline and an
interest in the visual system, plasticity and neuroimaging. It is also
vital that they have relevant experience in conducting neuroimaging
and/or behavioural research to develop and test novel hypotheses.
It would be beneficial if the successful applicant has knowledge and
experience of conducting perceptual training and neuroplasticity
studies. It would also be of benefit to the role if they have an
interest in increasing accessibility to neuroscience through both
engagement with the public and broadening access to scientific careers.
The post is full-time for a fixed-term until 31st July 2025 in the first
instance.
Only applications received before 12.00 midday on 12th August 2021 will
be considered.
Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.
