A Wellcome-Trust funded postdoctoral position is available in the group of Geraint Rees following the appointment of the current post-holder to a junior group leader position. An able and ambitious individual with previous doctoral and/or postdoctoral experience of using functional MRI is sought, who will work on creative and innovative neuroimaging projects studying the neural basis of consciousness in humans in a friendly and supportive environment. Previous fMRI experience is essential, and an interest in novel analytic approaches to understanding the visual system desirable given the recent focus of the laboratory, though projects encompass all sensory modalities. The group has full local access to high and low field fMRI, TMS, MEG, EEG and their combinations, plus behavioral testing facilities.

The post is available immediately for one year in the first instance, with possibility of renewal to December 2007; starting salary on the RA 1A/II scale in the range £22,444 - £36,046 pa inclusive dependent upon experience, superannuable.
