Salary is in the range £24,466 to £26,537 inclusive of London Allowance.
A 23 month, full-time postdoctoral research position is available to
investigate the neural basis of learning in the human brain using
functional MRI. The project will study the dynamic changes in activity that accompany the acquisition of cognitive and motor skills, and will focus on information processing in the prefrontal cortex, the cortical motor system and interconnected areas of the cerebellum (see Ramnani (2006), Nature Reviews Neuroscience 7(7):511-522). The project is funded by a BBSRC grant to Dr. Narender Ramnani. Facilities include an on-site, research-dedicated 3T Siemens Trio MRI scanner hosted by the Psychology Department at Royal Holloway (Surrey, 35 minutes to central London).
Candidates should hold (or should expect to be awarded) a PhD in the
behavioural or cognitive neurosciences by July 2008 (although candidates from other research backgrounds will also be considered if their skills are relevant to the project). A record of published research, some familiarity with functional neuroanatomy and good programming skills are essential. Familiarity with practical and statistical neuroimaging methods (particularly those concerned with investigating connectivity) is desirable. Candidates should be willing to learn new research methods and to have a strong interest in pursuing a research career.
This post is available between May-July 2008. Further information can be found at www.pc.rhul.ac.uk/staff/n.ramnani. Informal inquiries should be addressed to Dr. Ramnani (tel. +44 (0) 1784 443519; email
