Neuroimaging post-doctoral Research Associate
University of Cambridge, Department of Experimental Psychology
Salary: £27,319 - £35,646 pa
Applications are invited for an experienced and enthusiastic neuroimager
to work on a research programme investigating the effect of normal
ageing on language and cognition. The applicant will join the Centre for
Speech, Language and the Brain, an inter‑disciplinary team led by
Professor L.K. Tyler. The research focuses on neurocognitive models of
healthy ageing, with an emphasis on issues relating to reorganisation
and plasticity. The Centre has access to a research-dedicated 3T Siemens
MR scanner, EEG and MEG facilities. We currently use a variety of
imaging analysis methods such as fMRI analysis, voxel based
structure-function correlational analyses, DTI analyses, multivariate
analyses, and functional and anatomical connectivity analyses.
Applicants should have a PhD (or equivalent) and postdoctoral experience
with excellent computer programming (especially MATLAB) and statistical
skills, experience with fMRI and DTI analyses, an understanding of the
basis of MR imaging, and an interest in language function. Given the
nature of the research, candidates should be native English speakers or
fully fluent in English.
The successful candidate will be required to apply for an Enhanced CRB
Disclosure.
