[Eeglablist] Post-doc position at CUBRIC, Cardiff

[Richard Wise]

FMRI & EEG studies of neurovascular coupling
Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC)
School of Psychology

Post-doctoral Research Associate (Combined EEG-FMRI)

Applications are invited for an experienced neuroimaging researcher to
work on combined EEG-FMRI and quantitative FMRI techniques in humans. You
would work with the FMRI Director, Dr Richard Wise, to develop empirical
measures of neurovascular coupling in humans. This is important in the
long term development of FMRI as a technique for examining changes in
brain activity induced by pharmacological agents and neurological disease.

The successful applicant would design, implement and analyze combined
EEG-FMRI studies with the aim of exploring the relationship between
electrophysiological and haemodynamic signals for both sensory-evoked and
ongoing (resting) brain activity. An important component of the project
lies in relating FMRI signals to physiological measurements from
volunteers. (e.g. breathing, cardiac cycle). Respiratory challenges (e.g.
breathing tasks) and pharmacological challenges in collaboration with
clinical colleagues would also be used to modify the baseline physiology
of participants in experiments. Candidates should have a PhD in a relevant
area of neuroimaging and be experienced in the analysis of FMRI data.

The post is fixed-term for 2 years with a salary up to £33780 (grade 6).

Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Richard Wise, CUBRIC, School of
Psychology, Cardiff University, Park Place, Cardiff, UK, CF10 3AT.
