Ref: M00447
Salary: Grade 7 £31,798 - £35,788
Contributing to a 2-year MRC-funded project entitled "Lifelong changes in the cerebral processing of social signals", the job requires the development of stimuli and experimental procedures, contributing to the design and programming of the behavioural, fMRI and EEG experiments, recruiting and running the participants, assisting in analysing the results, and participating in the writing up of the results.
The goal of the project is to investigate lifelong changes in the perception of socially relevant information (gender and affective expression) from the voice, face and body and to quantify the cerebral correlates of lifelong changes observed at the behavioural level by measuring cerebral activity across sensory domains.
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. or equivalent and a minimum of 5 years research experience, with normally 1-2 years relevant post-doctoral experience; extensive and up-to-date practical and theoretical knowledge in fMRI and EEG experimentation; excellent knowledge of experimental procedures in the cognitive neurosciences and of experimental statistics, and excellent knowledge of Matlab and experimental control software.
This vacancy has funding for 2 years, starting on January 1st, 2012.
