UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neuroimaging with fMRI
Salary Range £22,507 – 30,363
INSTITUTE of NEUROSCIENCE
A three-year post-doctoral research fellowship in fMRI neuroimaging is
available in the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Newcastle
upon Tyne. The fellowship is a dedicated research position associated with
the university’s recently acquired 3T MRI system. The successful candidate
will have strong research experience in fMRI and, preferably, expertise in
a neuroscientific research area, but need not be an MR physicist. It is
essential that the candidate be experienced in fMRI data analysis and have
expertise in using software such as SPM or FSL. The successful candidate
will also be skilled in programming with at least one common language
(preferably Matlab or C++), be familiar with proprietary stimulus display
packages (e.g. ePrime or Presentation) and have a working understanding of
image display technologies. The research fellow will provide research
support for several research projects in the areas of visual neuroscience,
auditory neuroscience, somatosensory processing, and cognitive and
clinical neuroscience. The main role of the fellow will be to help design
and develop stimulus presentation and sequence paradigms, and to assist in
fMRI data analysis. As such, the fellow will be a key figure in the
development of distinct and diverse projects underpinning neuroimaging
research.
The research fellow will be employed by the Institute of Neuroscience, and
will work closely with the team of MR physicists and engineers in
Professor Andrew Blamire’s research group.
