The Brain and Mind Institute (BMI)
<http://www.uwo.ca/bmi/about/index.html> at Western University
<http://www.uwo.ca/> in London, Ontario, Canada has funding available
for 5 new postdoctoral fellows. The BMI is recognized as one of the
world’s leading research institutes in cognitive neuroscience and aims
to understand how the brain allows us to perceive the world, makes sense
of what we see and hear, remember the past and plan for the future,
communicate our thoughts to others, choose goals, plan actions and carry
those actions out. The BMI has access to state-of-the-art facilities
for cognitive neuroscience research, including magnetic resonance
imaging (with research-dedicated 3T and 7T MRI scanners for fMRI, DTI,
MRS, etc.), neurophysiology, human electrophysiology (EEG, ERP, EMG),
neurostimulation (TMS, tDCS), cluster computing, access to a diverse
range of clinical populations, human behavioral and kinematic testing
equipment, and a sleep lab.
Potential applicants should contact one or more prospective advisors at
BMI <http://www.uwo.ca/bmi/members/principal_investigators.html> to
discuss possibilities. The postdoctoral salary will provide two years
of salary split equally between BMI funding and grants from the advisor(s).
To apply please send the following to Denise Soanes <dsoanes4(a)uwo.ca
<mailto:dsoanes4@uwo.ca>>: (1) the postdoctoral candidate’s CV; (2) two

include helping new faculty launch their labs, bringing new
methodological or analytic expertise to the BMI, facilitating new
collaborations between labs at BMI and/or other groups on campus, and/or
recruiting excellent candidates to work on innovative projects).
