Dear SPMers, The following vacancy is ideal for an individual with experience in machine learning / multivoxel pattern analysis. Best wishes, Paul Wright --- Research Associate University of Cambridge, Department of Experimental Psychology Salary: £27,319 - £35,646 pa Applications are invited for an experienced researcher to develop and apply novel methods of analysis to existing fMRI data-sets and new fMRI studies. The applicant will join the Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain, an inter‑disciplinary team led by Professor L.K. Tyler, primarily working on an ERC funded project to understand how perceptual inputs are perceived as meaningful objects. As well as applying emerging pattern-information fMRI analysis techniques such as machine learning and multi-voxel pattern analysis to fMRI data, the applicant will develop new techniques that can be applied to answer specific research questions. In addition, (s)he will train other members of the Centre in the use of these techniques. The Centre has access to a research-dedicated 3T Siemens MR scanner, EEG and MEG facilities. We currently use a variety of univariate and multivariate analysis on fMRI and MEG data-sets, voxel based structure-function correlational analyses, DTI analyses, and functional and anatomical connectivity analyses. Applicants should have a computational or machine learning background, be educated to PhD level and have postdoctoral experience in developing analysis tools for fMRI data as well as an understanding of the basis of MR imaging. Excellent computer programming (MATLAB and/or Python) and neuroimaging analysis (SPM) skills are essential. An interest in object processing would be useful but is not necessary. Closing date: 7 July 2010 Start date: 1 September 2010 Limit of tenure: The funds for this post are available until end June 2012 in the first instance. For further details, please see our website at http://csl.psychol.cam.ac.uk/vacancies.html. Applications including a covering letter, CV and a completed CHRIS/6 coversheet (incl.
