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.
