<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Applications are invited for a 3-year full-time post-doctoral position investigating memory-related brain processes during post-learning sleep. The project will use EEG, fMRI and transcranial electrical stimulation
(tES) together with state-of-the-art multivariate analysis methods to capture and experimentally manipulate consolidation mechanisms in the sleeping human brain.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The successful candidate will work in the Episodic Memory Laboratory at the University of Birmingham (UK) and will be supervised by Dr Bernhard Staresina. We work in close collaboration with a vibrant memory research
community (http://www.memorybham.com/) and have access to multimodal neuroimaging facilities including 7T MRI, MEG, TMS and intracranial EEG.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant area (e.g., Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science), have demonstrable expertise in sleep research, EEG, fMRI and/or tES and have advanced programming and analysis
skills (using MATLAB or equivalent). Publications in peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations at international meetings are required. A background in memory research is highly desirable.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The proposed start date is September 2016.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">If you are interested and wish to find out more, please contact Dr Bernhard Staresina (<a href="mailto:b.staresina@bham.ac.uk">b.staresina@bham.ac.uk</a>) with your CV and a brief statement of interest.
