Ref OH/260

The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (CBSU) is an internationally renowned 
research institute of cognitive neuroscience. Onsite facilities include 
dedicated MRI and MEG scanners, a hearing laboratory, and the developmental 
research centre suitable for infants through to older children. The CBSU is 
also a stakeholder in a clinical research facility and a new 7T ultra high 
field MRI scanner on the Addenbrooke's campus in Cambridge.

An open-ended post-doctoral position is available in the Methods Team to 
support the optimisation, standardisation and development of fMRI data analysis 
pipelines, e.g. for standard fMRI time series analysis, functional and 
effective connectivity analysis, and multivariate pattern analysis. Methods 
support may extend to EEG/MEG analysis where appropriate. The successful 
candidate will also participate in a skills-oriented neuroimaging training 
programme aimed at PhD students and post-doctoral researchers. The position 
offers scope for independent research and methods development.


You will have, or be in the final stages of, a PhD related to physics, signal 
processing, or neuroimaging methods. You should have experience in fMRI 
analysis, scientific computing (e.g. Linux, Matlab, Python), and an 
appreciation of methodological issues in cognitive brain imaging. Experience 
with MRI data acquisition and EEG and MEG methodology would be desirable. You 
will be thorough, efficient, effective, a good communicator, and enjoy working 
as part of a diverse and energetic, interdisciplinary team.

Choosing to come to work at the MRC CBSU means that you will have access to a 
whole host of benefits from a final salary pension scheme, 30 days annual leave 
entitlement, flexible working arrangements, childcare vouchers, and 
additionally a salary sacrifice cycle scheme, as well as access to 
employee/shopping travel discounts.  On site car and bicycle parking is 
available.  We also provide a wide range of training opportunities to all our 
staff.

Our success is dependent on our ability to embrace diversity and draw on the 
skills, understanding and experience of all our staff.  As holders of an Athena 
SWAN bronze award we welcome applications from all sections of the community 
irrespective of gender, race, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, 
sexual orientation, disability or age.  As users of the "Two Ticks" disability 
symbol we guarantee to interview all applicants with disabilities who meet the 
minimum essential criteria for the post.
