Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Cognitive Neuroscience - 3 years fixed-term post

Emotion-Cognition interactions.

A postdoctoral research position is available in the Institute of Psychological Sciences in the team

of Dr. Alexandre Schaefer for 3 years (full-time). The postholder will join a team investigating the

cognitive and neural mechanisms of emotion-cognition interactions using EEG/ERP and fMRI. The

main emphasis of the job will be on EEG/ERP, but the postholder will also work with fMRI. There

will also be the possibility to work with other neuroscience techniques, depending on the

postholder's research interests. The postholder will have access to state-of-the-art research

facilities (high-density EEG, fMRI, TMS, Eye-tracker and other psychophysiological techniques),

and will have the opportunity to develop independent research ideas.

Candidates will be expected to hold a PhD (or to be in the process of obtaining it) in a relevant

area, and able to demonstrate a strong research potential. Candidates will also be expected to

demonstrate a strong interest in emotion-cognition interactions. Prior experience with EEG/ERP

and/or fMRI is desirable, but not compulsory. Training in these techniques will be available if

needed. The post is available immediately and work should start no later than February 2010.
