[FieldTrip] [PostDoc position] Episodic Memory during Offline Periods

[Bernhard Staresina]

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.

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.

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.

The proposed start date is September 2016.

If you are interested and wish to find out more, please contact Dr Bernhard Staresina (b.staresina at bham.ac.uk<mailto:b.staresina at bham.ac.uk>) with your CV and a brief statement of interest.
