Applications are invited for a 3 year post-doc position in neuroimaging
at the Human Decision and Action Selection Lab, Institute of Neurology,
University College London
The post holder will be employed on a Starting Grant funded by the
European Research Council (ERC), in the “Human Decision Making and
Action Selection” Lab. The project will use neuroimaging and
neurophysiological techniques to investigate the link between action
selection and decision making in the human brain. The techniques
available will include functional MRI, electroencephalography,
transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current
stimulation, computational modelling, and recordings of skilled actions.
The appointee will have a PhD in Neuroscience or related areas, and form
part of a team whose primary research focus is on understanding the
mechanisms through which sensory and internal decision processes
influence and control the selection of movement and its execution.
Candidates will have a strong expertise in functional neuroimaging data
analyses, as well as expertise in motor system neuroscience, cognitive
neuroscience or decision neuroscience.
This post is based in our laboratory at the Sobell Department for Motor
Neuroscience and Movement Disorders, UCL, which provides
state-of-the-art facilities for behavioural, pharmacological and
neurostimulation studies. Our imaging activities are located at the
Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, with 3 research-dedicated 3
Tesla MRI Siemens machines and one MEG system. The post is available
from Sept 2013, and is funded by the European Research Council for 2
years in the first instance, with possibility for 1 year extension.
