Research Associate position at the University of Cambridge
An opening exists for an experienced and enthusiastic MR image analysis
expert to join the Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain at the
University of Cambridge. Research in the Centre focuses on the
cognitive neuroscience of language, conceptual knowledge and ageing,
combining behavioural studies with neuroimaging techniques and working
with healthy and brain-damaged adults. The Centre has access to a
research-dedicated 3T Siemens MR scanner, and EEG and MEG facilities.
We are looking for someone to join the Centre who is interested in
developing MR image analysis techniques. We currently use methods such
as fMRI analysis, voxel based structure-function correlational analyses,
DTI analyses, functional and anatomical connectivity analyses. An
important aspect of the post is the training and support of researchers
at the Centre.
Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) and some postdoctoral
experience in a relevant discipline, experience and expertise in medical
image analysis, either experience of computer programming or proven
ability to develop new algorithms for image, signal or data processing
applications, and an understanding of the basis of MR imaging. The
candidate must have an interest in developing imaging techniques for
addressing cognitive issues studied at the Centre. Given the nature of
our research, applicants should be a native English speaker or fully
fluent in English. The post is funded by the MRC from February 1 2007
for four years.
Applicants should send to Mrs Marie Dixon, Department of Experimental
Psychology, Downing Street, Cambridge, CB2 3EB, a copy of their
curriculum vitae with the names, addresses and email addresses of three
referees and a completed cover sheet (Form PD18) no later than 22
November 2006. Further particulars and the Form PD18 are available on
our website at http://csl.psychol.cam.ac.uk/vacancies.html or from Mrs
Dixon.
