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.
