Post Doctoral Scientist – Cambridge

Decision making: new models of brain and behaviour in health and disease

 

The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (CBSU) is an internationally renowned research institute with state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience facilities. We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative post doctoral scientist to join an intramural program on decision making and dementia. This is an exciting opportunity to develop the interaction between computational neuroscience and functional brain imaging, including novel applications to neurological disorders.

 

The post is within a dynamic multidisciplinary team of clinical and non-clinical scientists within CBSU and Cambridge University, led by Dr James Rowe. It provides unparalleled access to cognitive and translational neuroscience, in terms of imaging methods, research facilities and an excellent post doctoral research community. This post would include the development and optimisation of models for perceptual and behavioural decisions in healthy humans, and the investigation of the neural systems supporting decisions using functional brain imaging.
