MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit – Cambridge
MEG Postdoctoral Research Support Scientist
The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (CBSU) is an internationally
renowned research institute. Our theory-guided and translational
research groups are supported by state-of-the-art cognitive
neuroscience facilities including 306-channel MEG (Elekta Neuromag),
3T-fMRI (Siemens), EEG and eye-tracking equipment, and have
established clinical collaborations.
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scientist to support the
research of the Unit in exploring the mind and brain using MEG, and to
carry out specific scientific research in collaboration with line
manager and other team members.
The postholder’s research will be centred on MEG methods and on the
spatio-temporal dynamics of the neural activity underlying speech and
language processing in the human brain. Ideal candidates will
therefore have experience in neuroimaging and in language research.
Previous experience in using EEG or/and MEG is essential. Eligible
candidates should hold a PhD or similar degree in a relevant
discipline, including psychology, neuroinformatics or neuroscience.
The starting salary will be in the range of £26,022 - £31,758 per
annum, depending upon qualifications and experience. We offer a
flexible pay and reward policy, 30 days annual leave entitlement, and
an optional MRC final salary Pension Scheme. On site car and bicycle
parking is available. Initially, this will be an 11.5 month
appointment, but it may be extended or tenured subject to performance
and availability of funding.

Research Support Scientist (Postdoctoral position)
MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit - Cambridge
The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (CBSU) is an internationally
renowned research institute. Our theory-guided and translational
research groups are supported by state-of-the-art cognitive
neuroscience facilities, including 3T-fMRI (Siemens), EEG and MEG
(Elekta Neuromag).
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scientist to study
language mechanisms in the human brain with multimodal neuroimaging
and neuropsychological methods in the context of an ongoing research
programme led by Prof Pulvermüller (MRC Programme Leader in the
Cognitive Neuroscience of Language). The primary objective of this
position is to perform MEG, EEG, fMRI and DTI research on semantic and
syntactic mechanisms. This will be an 11.5 month appointment
initially, but may be extended.
Candidates should be experienced in both language and brain research.
They should hold a PhD or similar degree in a relevant discipline,
including linguistics, biology, psychology, neuroscience,
neuroimaging, neuropsychology or computational neuroscience. Previous
research experience using EEG or MEG is crucial and previous fMRI,
TMS, DTI or patient work an advantage.
The starting salary will be in the range of £26,022 - £31,758 per
annum, depending upon qualifications and experience. We offer a
flexible pay and reward policy, 30 days annual leave entitlement, and
