Starting Salary: £21,478 - £23,883 (on R&A Grade 1A) p.a.

Applications are invited for a three-year Postdoctoral Research Officer
position in social cognitive neuroscience. This position is to work on a
research grant awarded to Professor David Linden jointly with Professor
Thomas Mussweiler of the University of Cologne, Germany. This grant is
funded by the ESRC through their bilateral programme with the German
Research Council (DFG). The aim of the project is to investigate the neural
substrates of social comparison, one of the most pervasive cognitive
processes humans engage in. The work will involve the adaptation of
paradigms from social psychology research for functional imaging and the
acquisition and analysis of behavioural and imaging data. The successful
candidate will work closely with the research officer in the Cologne team,
who is being recruited in parallel.

Professor Mussweiler's group in Cologne is internationally leading in the
fields of social judgement, stereotyping and decision making:

This is a full-time position, starting on April 1st 2008. The ideal
candidate would have a PhD in cognitive neuroscience or a related field,
experience with stimulus programming and functional magnetic resonance
imaging and an interest in the application of these skills to current topics
in social psychology.
