Applicants are sought for a one year postdoctoral position (application deadline end of November) based in the Department of Psychology, University of York.

The project will address neural bases of anxiety and fear using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and psychophysiology techniques (i.e. fear conditioning). The project will enjoy considerable support and local expertise both from the Department of Psychology and York Neuroimaging Centre. The Department of Psychology has a purpose-built and well-equipped psychophysiology suite, and MRI facilities, alongside internationally renowned neuroimaging expertise, are also available on campus. The appointed candidate will be expected to be involved at all levels of the project (design, implementation, analysis, and writing journal articles).

Candidate background: The most competitive candidates will likely possess experience with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and be seeking to apply such methods to psychopathology, or have an individual differences/clinical background with a desire to acquire MRI/psychophysiological skills. Individuals with other backgrounds but a keen interest in such a project are encouraged to contact the project organiser (details below) to establish suitability.
