Candidates should have (or about to have) a doctoral degree in neuroscience, engineering, applied physics, cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology, or a related discipline. Ability to program in C/Matlab is essential. A background in statistical methods as applied to brain imaging data and/or MR physics would be an advantage. The project is a collaboration between the laboratories of Dr. John O’Doherty and Dr. Shin Shimojo at California Institute of Technology. The position is for 1 year in the first instance, renewable for a further year. The successful candidate will be supported by the Dana Foundation and by JST(Japan Science and Technology Corportation) - ERATO(Exploratory Research for Advanced technology) "Implicit Brain Functions" project.
