FMRI & EEG studies of neurovascular coupling Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) School of Psychology

Post-doctoral Research Associate (Combined EEG-FMRI)

Applications are invited for an experienced neuroimaging researcher to work on combined EEG-FMRI and quantitative FMRI techniques in humans. You would work with the FMRI Director, Dr Richard Wise, to develop empirical measures of neurovascular coupling in humans. This is important in the long term development of FMRI as a technique for examining changes in brain activity induced by pharmacological agents and neurological disease.

The successful applicant would design, implement and analyze combined EEG-FMRI studies with the aim of exploring the relationship between electrophysiological and haemodynamic signals for both sensory-evoked and ongoing (resting) brain activity. An important component of the project lies in relating FMRI signals to physiological measurements from volunteers. (e.g. breathing, cardiac cycle). Respiratory challenges (e.g. breathing tasks) and pharmacological challenges in collaboration with clinical colleagues would also be used to modify the baseline physiology of participants in experiments. Candidates should have a PhD in a relevant area of neuroimaging and be experienced in the analysis of FMRI data.

The post is fixed-term for 2 years with a salary up to £33780 (grade 6).

Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Richard Wise, CUBRIC, School of Psychology, Cardiff University, Park Place, Cardiff, UK, CF10 3AT. (http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/psych/cubric/).
