Postdoctoral Research Assistant
£25633 - £31525 per annum
REF #12426/DPF/A3

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to  
work with Professor Philippe Schyns, Dr Klaus Kessler and Dr Marie  
Smith on a BBSRC funded project ‘Cortical Networks for Flexible  
Organisations’, which is aimed at providing a flow-chart of  
information processing within the cortical networks associated with  
the integration of facial features during face categorisation tasks,  
such as gender and expression.

Under the guidance of the grant holders you will have the opportunity  
to: contribute to the design of event-related MEG experiments;  
collect the data with a state of the art MEG system; apply cutting  
edge techniques to analyse brain signals in the time and frequency  
domain; solve the inverse problem in order to identify processing  
networks; and reverse correlate brain activity with facial features.  
Finally, this will also give you the opportunity to practice your  
skills in writing scientific articles for high impact journals. For  
three years you will be part of a successful team of researchers in  
Glasgow who work on this and related topics. This post is available  
from 1 October 2006.

You will be qualified, with a PhD, or equivalent, in cognitive  
neuroscience or a related discipline. You will also have experience  
of running psychophysical, cognitive and brainimaging experiments,  
with experience in MEG and/or EEG date collection and analysis. You  
will have excellent programming skills, particularly with MATLAB and  
will be experienced in image processing, signal analysis in the time  
and frequency domain, the inverse-problem and beamforming / source  
localisation methods. Finally you should have a strong interest in  
pursuing a research career.

Informal enquiries may be made to Professor P Schyns, (+44 (0)141 330  
4937; p.schyns at psy.gla.ac.uk Dr Klaus Kessler (+44 (0)141 330 4774;
