The specific focus of the position is on the neuropsychology of language, bridging gaps at the clinical /non-clinical intersection (e.g. language-related disorders). This integration can be achieved using a varied set of methods, such as behavioural experimentation, functional neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG, MEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and formal computational modelling of language processes.</span><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br><br></span></font></div><font></font><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background-color: white;"><font><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">You will head an independent research group to be established to promote the interaction between clinical and pre-clinical researchers.
