[Fwd: senior researcher position at the Donders Institute]

FYI -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park York YO10 5DG tel (+44) (0) 1904 435349 fax (+44) (0) 1904 435356 mobile 07986778954 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear colleagues, I would like to bring your attention to the position below. Alt the best, Ole Jensen http://www.neuosc.com ------------------------ *Senior Researcher for 'Neuronal Oscillations and Networks' (1,0 fte) * *Donders Institute, Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging* *Vacancy number: 30.01.12* *Closing date: 15 April 2012* *Responsibilities* The Neuronal Oscillation group at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour has funding available for a senior researcher position. The position has a strong research component, but also includes additional management and teaching responsibilities. The management tasks involve active participation in structuring the research group, including supervision of MSc and PhD students (who will receive senior authorship where applicable). Further, you will contribute to grant writing. The research responsibilities focus on investigating the role of oscillatory neuronal activity involved in shaping the functional architecture of the working brain. This will be done in the context of advanced cognitive paradigms on attention, perception and memory. There will be a strong focus on the role of phase, network interactions and subcortical structures. You will have the following state-of-the-art equipment to your disposal: MEG, (f)MRI, EEG combined with TMS, and EEG combined with fMRI. A further aim is to link structural (e.g. DTI) and functional measurements. You will also participate in conceptually developing the framework for understanding the functional role of brain oscillations. *Work environment* The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour consists of the Centre for Cognition, the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging and the Centre for Neuroscience. The mission of the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging is to conduct cutting-edge fundamental research in cognitive neuroscience. Much of the rapid progress in this field is being driven by the development of complex neuro-imaging techniques for measuring activity in the human working brain - an area in which the Centre plays a leading role. The research themes cover central cognitive functions such as perception, action, control, decision making, attention, memory, language, learning and plasticity. The internationally renowned centre currently hosts more than 100 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from more than 20 countries, offering a stimulating and multidisciplinary research environment. The centre is equipped with three MRI scanners (7T, 3T, 1.5T), a 275-channel MEG system, an EEG-TMS laboratory, several (MR-compatible) EEG systems, and high-performance computational facilities. English is the lingua franca at the centre. You will work within the Neuronal Oscillations group. *What we expect from you* As a candidate for the position, you should have a PhD degree and several years of experience as postdoctoral researcher in a field related to cognitive neuroscience. Selection criteria will consider the record of published research, familiarity with neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, EEG, MEG, and/or TMS) and supervision experience. Proficiency in oral and written English is a prerequisite. You are expected to work in a team, sharing technical know-how and ideas. *What we have to offer* We offer you: - employment: 1,0 fte; - in addition to the salary: an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% end-of-year bonus; - the gross salary will be between EUR3,195 and EUR4,970 (scale 12), depending on experience; - salary scale 11 will apply during the first year; - duration of the contract: 6 years maximum.
