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. </DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">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. </DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Informal enquiries may be made to Professor P Schyns, (+44 (0)141 330 4937; <A href="mailto:p.schyns@psy.gla.ac.uk">p.schyns@psy.gla.ac.uk</A> Dr Klaus Kessler (+44 (0)141 330 4774; <A href="mailto:k.kessler@psy.gla.ac.uk">k.kessler@psy.gla.ac.uk</A>) or Dr Marie Smith (+44 (0)141 330 3987; <A href="mailto:m.smith@psy.gla.ac.uk">m.smith@psy.gla.ac.uk</A>). </DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">For further details about the post and how to apply: </DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">see our web site at <A href="http://www.psy.gla.ac.uk/jobs.php"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000F0">http://www.psy.gla.ac.uk/jobs.php</FONT></A> or contact Ms Lynsay McGinlay, Department of Psychology, University of Glasgow, G12 8QQ (+44 (0)141 330 3986, e-mail <A href="mailto:l.mcginlay@psy.gla.ac.uk">l.mcginlay@psy.gla.ac.uk</A> or the University web site at <A href="http://www.gla.ac.uk/"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000F0">www.gla.ac.uk</FONT></A> </DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><B>Closing Date : September 21st 2006</B></DIV></BODY></HTML>
