Applications are invited for an experienced and enthusiastic
neuroimager to work on a research programme investigating the effect
of normal ageing on language and cognition. The applicant will join
the Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain, an inter-disciplinary
team led by Professor L.K. Tyler. The research focuses on
neurocognitive models of healthy ageing, with an emphasis on issues
relating to reorganisation and plasticity. The Centre has access to a
research-dedicated 3T Siemens MR scanner, EEG and MEG facilities. We
currently use a variety of imaging analysis methods such as fMRI
analysis, voxel based structure-function correlational analyses, DTI
analyses, multivariate analyses, and functional and anatomical
connectivity analyses.
Applicants should have a PhD (or equivalent) and postdoctoral
experience with excellent computer programming (especially MATLAB) and
statistical skills, experience with fMRI and DTI analyses, an
understanding of the basis of MR imaging, and an interest in language
function. Given the nature of the research, candidates should be
native English speakers or fully fluent in English.
The successful candidate will be required to apply for an
Enhanced CRB Disclosure.
