Academic Fellowship in Developmental and Cognitive neuroscience

by Gergely Csibra

Birkbeck (University of London) RCUK Academic Fellowship Developmental and Cognitive Neuroscience We are seeking a talented individual to conduct research within the Centre for Brain & Cognitive Development and/or the new Wolfson Institute for Brain & Function and Development, both within the School of Psychology, Birkbeck. The RCUK Fellowship will build on new and exciting initiatives in developmental and cognitive neuroscience within the School, including a new research MRI facility scheduled to open later this year. We seek applicants who have interests that consolidate the collaborative links between members of the new Wolfson Institute, the CBCD, and the new MRI facility. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research centres on developmental functional or structural MRI. However, other candidates in developmental and cognitive neuroscience that help to establish and reinforce collaborative bridges within the grouping will also be considered. While primarily a research fellow in the initial years, you may contribute to teaching at graduate and postgraduate level. This is initially a three year research post leading to a permanent academic appointment, at an appropriate level, when the fellowship ends. The fellowship is jointly funded by the RCUK Academic Fellowship scheme and Birkbeck. Salary will be £22,492 rising to £32,450 per annum at RA1A of the Research Staff Salary Scales. Initial salary award will be dependent on skills and experience. Informal enquiries should be made to Professor Mark Johnson, Director of the Centre for Brain & Cognitive Development, by email at mark.Johnson(a)bbk.ac.uk Download the job description and application form by clicking on ‘Further details' below or email humanresources(a)bbk.ac.uk quoting reference APS153 . Closing date: 14 August 2006 Birkbeck is an equal opportunities employer. Further details can be obtained from: http://www.jobs.ac.uk/fp/CF400/fp_index.html

Job announcement: Lectureship and 2 Academic Fellowships at St Andrews, U.K.

by Peter Foldiak

The School of Psychology, University of St. Andrews, rated 5*(A) for research and excellent for teaching, supports a research and teaching strategy which ensures that students get excellent instruction from staff who are at the forefront in their field whilst also ensuring that staff have sufficient time to devote to their research activities. These vacancies offer opportunities for early-career staff to thrive in a vibrant and well-resourced research environment. http://psy.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Lectureship £27,929 - £36,959 pa You will be an active researcher, with evidence of, or the potential to establish, an independent research program in biological psychology. You must have some experience teaching psychology to undergraduate students. This post is for four years from 1 September 2006 (or as soon as possible thereafter). Ref: SL204/06. http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/hr/recruitment/vacancies/vacancy-list/Vacancy.2… Academic Fellowships (2 posts) £20,044 - £36,959 pa Under a new scheme funded by the joint Research Councils,we are offering two five year research fellowships with a lecturing position to follow, with a start date of 1 October 2006. The fellowships are for research in (1) perception and (2) animal cognition (including behavioural neuroscience). These posts initially carry only limited teaching obligations, though you will play an active part in the academic culture of the School of Psychology. You must already hold a PhD in psychology or a cognate discipline before taking up the position and have evidence of the potential to establish an independent research career.

Job announcement: Postdoctoral and graduate student positions in Budapest

by Erdi Peter

Postdoctoral and graduate student positions available at the Computational Neuroscience Group, KFKI, Budapest, Hungary A postdoctoral and a graduate student positions in computational neuroscience are available at the CNS Group Budapest, to study and model spatial navigation strategies. The group works at the KFKI campus in Budapest, Hungary, as part of the Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics, one of the research institutes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Details about the group can be found on the "http://cneuro.rmki.kfki.hu/" homepage. The research will be part of the four-year European research project "Integrating Cognition, Emotion and Autonomy" (ICEA, "http://www.his.se/icea"). The project involves cognitive scientists, neuroscientists, psychologists, computer scientists and roboticists, and aims at developing a cognitive systems architecture integrating cognitive, emotional and autonomic/bioregulatory processes in the control of robotic cognitive systems. These positions will be focused on modelling different spatial orientation strategies and the cooperation/competition between them. The key aim of this work is the functional and realistic modelling of hippocampus and other brain structures (e.g. entorhinal and prefrontral cortex) to give an efficient navigation algorithm to be used in real robots. The model will be built in close cooperation with behavioral electrophysiologists and their data will be used to test the biological reliability of the algorithm. Qualified applicants should have a doctoral degree (postdoctoral position applicants) or B.Sc. (graduate position applicants) in computational neuroscience, computer science or a related field. Applicants for this position will be evaluated according to the following criteria: * experience in computational neuroscience * programming skills * experience in analysis of electro-physiological data * broad interest to learn related fields * general ability to participate in teamwork and perform tasks * administrative and other skills that are relevant to the position The salary will be commensurate with the Hungarian Academic guidelines. For further information please contact Peter Erdi, group leader, or Zoltn Somogyvri ICEA project coordinator. Applicants are invited to send their CV, two letters of recommendation, brief list of scientific activities and publications to Pter rdi (erdi(a)rmki.kfki.hu), and to Zoltn Somogyvari (soma(a)sunserv.kfki.hu) via email no later than 20 June, 2006.
