Research Associate
Ref: 012667
Salary: Grade 7, £33,574 – £37,768 per annum
We are seeking to recruit two Research Associates to work in the Centre
for Social, Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (cSCAN) and the Centre
for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi) within the Research Institute of
Neuroscience & Psychology at the University of Glasgow.
The post-holders will make leading contributions to the 5-year
Wellcome-funded project entitled Brain Algorithmics: Reverse
Engineering Dynamic Information Processing in Brain Networks from MEG
Time Series. There will be a total of 3 Research Associate positions
covering different aspects of the project.
The aim of the project is to collect behavioural and brain data
(primarily MEG and fMRI) from human observers who categorize faces and
scenes from parametrically extracted information samples (i.e.
pixel-based and multivariate developments of the Bubbles technique).
Using information theoretic methods, we aim to first reconstruct the
information subsuming categorisation behaviour. With similar methods,
we will reconstruct the dynamic information processing networks that
code and transfer behaviourally-relevant information between stimulus
onset and categorization decisions.
The postholders will conduct, manage and publish research and assist in
managing and directing this complex and challenging project.
The job requires expert knowledge in cognitive neuroimaging, including
data collection and analyses.
Informal enquires may be made to Prof Philippe G. Schyns
