Dear All,
This is to let you know of a newly available postdoctoral position.
The project will investigate the acquisition of
motor and cognitive skills using eye-movement behaviours. The work will
involve the use of functional MRI to investigate cerebellar plasticity
related to learning and cerebellar interactions
with frontal lobe areas concerned with eye movements (some of the
issues to be investigated are discussed in
Ramnani (2006), Nature Reviews Neuroscience 7(7): 511-522).
Behavioural work will investigate skill acquisition from childhood
through to old age, and in elite athletes.
The project is funded by a BBSRC project grant.
Equipment includes state-of-the-art eye tracking facilities, and a
recently upgraded on-site, research-dedicated 3T Siemens Trio MRI
scanner hosted by the Psychology Department at Royal Holloway
(Surrey, 35 minutes to central London).
Candidates should hold a strong first degree and
should hold (or should expect to be awarded) a PhD in a discipline
relevant to the project by January 2013. A record of published research,
experience with studying eye movements, familiarity
with functional neuroanatomy and proven programming skills are
essential. Familiarity with practical and statistical neuroimaging
methods is desirable. Candidates should be willing to learn new research
methods and to have a strong interest in pursuing a research
career.
