I wonder if you would be kind enough to bring these vacancies to the attention of anyone you think might be interested. Many thanks Eleanor Maguire Vacancy1: ***Post-doctoral Research Associate: fMRI of Memory and Imagination *A Wellcome Trust funded Post-doctoral Research Associateship is available under the supervision of Professor Eleanor Maguire. The appointee will play a key role in researching the neural basis of episodic/autobiographical memory, scene construction and imagination using functional MRI and neuropsychological assessment of patients with memory impairments. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a fast-developing field seeking to understand the relationship between recalling the past, imagining the future and other cognitive functions. The appointee will benefit from interactions with a critical mass of cognitive neuroscience researchers, methodologists and technologists at the Centre that contribute to an excellent environment for conducting the highest quality research. Applicants should have a PhD in psychology, cognitive neuroscience or a related discipline. They should have research experience within the broad project area, of programming with Matlab, and of designing, executing and analysing experiments using functional MRI. They should be able to demonstrate a consistently outstanding academic record, including publications. Excellent organisational and communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team, are also required. This post is available from 1^st October 2008 and is funded for three years. Starting salary on the UCL Grade 7 scale in the range £30,939 - £33,561 pa inclusive, superannuable. Further details should first be obtained from Miss Katy Brinded, Personnel Officer, Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG (tel: 020 7676 2191; email: personnel(a)ion.ucl.ac.uk <mailto:personnel@ion.ucl.ac.uk>). Informal enquiries welcome to: e.maguire(a)fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk <mailto:e.maguire@fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk>. *Closing date for applications: **Thursday 31^st July, 2008.* Vacancy 2: *Post-doctoral Research Associate: Decoding Memories from fMRI Signals *A Wellcome Trust funded Post-doctoral Research Associateship is available under the supervision of Professor Eleanor Maguire. The appointee will play a key role in researching spatial and episodic memory using multivariate analysis of high spatial resolution functional MRI data. Application of decoding techniques to the human hippocampus and related brain areas offers an exciting new avenue for exploring how memories are coded by the neurons of the brain. The appointee will benefit from interactions with a critical mass of cognitive neuroscience researchers, methodologists and technologists at the Centre that contribute to an excellent environment for conducting the highest quality research. Applicants should have a PhD in computer science, mathematics, physics, cognitive neuroscience or a related discipline. They should have advanced skills in programming (e.g. Matlab, C++) combined with experience of or an interest in applying these skills to biological questions relating to human memory. Experience of analysing fMRI data, and of machine learning/multivariate analysis techniques is also highly desirable. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a consistently outstanding academic record, including publications. Excellent organisational and communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team, are also required. This post is available from 1^st October 2008 and is funded for three years. Starting salary on the UCL Grade 7 scale in the range £30,939 - £36,429 pa inclusive, superannuable.
