[Tristan Bekinschtein]

*MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit – Cambridge, UK.*

*Postdoctoral Scientist (Ref CBSU08/733) and Research Assistant (Ref 
CBSU08/734) – 3 years*

* *

The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (CBSU) is an internationally 
renowned research institute with state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience 
facilities, including 3T fMRI, 306 channel MEG (with simultaneous 128 
channel EEG), and separate high resolution EEG systems for volunteer and 
patient work. Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scientist and 
a research assistant to join an existing team exploring cognitive 
function in brain injured patients. Both appointments will be for 3 years.

For the postdoctoral scientist position you will have a PhD or other 
qualifying degree in Cognitive Neuroscience or a related area with a 
proven track record of using high-resolution EEG. Experience of 
quantitative EEG analysis, including EEGLAB is essential. Experience of 
working with brain injured people is preferable, and a track record of 
research in short-term memory, selective attention, frontal or parietal 
function would also be advantageous. Behavioural testing, FMRI, or MEG 
experience would be useful, as would the ability to computer program.

For the research assistant position you will have a degree in Cognitive 
Neuroscience, Experimental Psychology or a related area. You should have 
an interest in neurorehabilitation and ideally some experience of 
behavioural testing, FMRI or EEG.

Both positions require an understanding of the principles of 
experimental design, data acquisition and analysis. The successful 
candidates will be enthusiastic, well motivated, well organised and have 
good interpersonal skills, able to work effectively both independently 
and in a team.

We offer a flexible pay and reward policy, 30 days annual leave 
entitlement, and an optional MRC final salary Pension Scheme. On site 
car and bicycle parking is available.
