*Expected start date: 01 October 2013*

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a five year European Research Council funded project (project ‘CATEGORIES’), led by Dr. Anna Franklin, which aims to identify the origin of colour categories in language and thought (see: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/psychology/colour/projects). The post holder will join a team of 6 other researchers working on the project, and will become a member of the Sussex Colour Group: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/psychology/colour/index in the School of Psychology.

The post is for 2 years, and the Research Fellow will be responsible for running a sub-project which aims to establish how colour categories are represented in the human brain. The Research Fellow will design, conduct and analyse a series of fMRI studies which will investigate the neural basis for colour categories. The post holder will be expected to conduct univariate and multivariate analyses of fMRI data, and the sub-project may also include voxel-based morphometry and TMS. In addition, the Research Fellow will be expected to collaborate with research team members on other sub-projects, and provide training and technical support for other members of the team.

You should have a PhD in Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience or cognate discipline. Experience of MATLAB programming and some experience of fMRI design and analysis is essential.
