Dear All,
Please find details of a new post that is available here at Aston.
Informal enquiries can be made to myself, ([log in to unmask]), but
please note the relatively short time until the closing date (14th Jan).
All the best,
Krish

Academic Fellowship in ³Neuroimaging and its Application to Cognitive
Neuroscience²
Neurosciences Research Institute
School of Life and Health Sciences
Aston University
Birmingham
UK
£22,507 to £24,820 p.a.
(Five years fixed term in the first instance)
A unique opportunity has arisen within the Neurosciences Research Institute
(NRI) to work in the broad field of neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience.
Aston University, which is based in Birmingham, is the first, and currently
only, research site in the UK to have whole-head MEG, 3 Tesla MRI, rapid TMS
with Brainsight navigation and multi-channel EEG systems within the same
institute. This therefore represents an internationally competitive facility
for the interdisciplinary study of sensory and cognitive function, both in
the healthy normal brain and in clinical populations.
This post, funded by the UK's EPSRC funding body, is designed to provide a
long-term academic career path for exceptional research candidates who are
in the early stages of a postdoctoral career. The post is a 5-year research
post, after which consideration will be given to offering a suitable
permanent academic appointment.
The appointed Academic Fellow must hold a Ph.D, or have equivalent
post-doctoral status. We will consider applications from candidates who have
research interests and skills in one or more of the following key areas:
* The development of an integrated multi-modal approach to neuroimaging
in basic research and/or clinical applications.
* Experience in functional neuroimaging techniques such as MEG and/or
fMRI.
* Experience using either DTI, MRS or morphometric assessment of MR
images.
* Experience in using neuroimaging, combined with appropriate
behavioural methods, to advance the interdisciplinary study of how normal
and pathological human behaviour is instantiated in normal and pathological
brain function.
* Experience in using neuroimaging to characterise the neural changes
that occur as a consequence of normal and abnormal ageing, both in
development and senescence.
* Experience in the use of neuroimaging to provide information relevant
to pre-treatment diagnosis and assessment and for tracking the success of
remediation and treatment regimes.
Candidates must also demonstrate an aspiration and commitment to a career in
academia and the wider role, and have an aptitude for research.
Application forms and further particulars are available on our web site:

answerphone), or by email: [log in to unmask], quoting reference number
R04/271/99.
Closing date for the receipt of applications: 14 January 2005.
