2 Postdoc positions on decision making and learning @ CCNi Glasgow – brain imaging and computational neuroscience

Two postdoctoral positions are available in my group at the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow, focusing on dynamic network reconstruction of human decision making and learning using EEG-fMRI fusion (funded by an ERC Consolidator Award).

The first post will have an emphasis on brain imaging (038582), while the other will focus on computational neuroscience (038583). Each position is for up to 5-years with a start date in January 2021 or soon thereafter.

Theoretically, the work aims to take a fresh look and reconceptualise the role of prediction error processing in perceptual and reward learning (there will be freedom in exact topic selection). Methodologically, our laboratory uses a variety of state-of-the-art tools, including simultaneous EEG-fMRI measurements in 3T and 7T, computational modelling, eye-tracking and advanced data analytics for multimodal data fusion and neural characterization.

Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant area with an excellent record of research achievements and expertise at the intersection of two or more of the lab’s main research priorities and methodological approaches. The lab is committed to diversity and we welcome applications from qualified candidates of all backgrounds, including minority and under-represented groups.

The group is embedded within the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi) at the University of Glasgow and affiliated with the Imaging Centre of Excellence (ICE) at Queens Elisabeth University Hospital, which houses the only ultra-high field 7T MRI scanner in Scotland.

Postdoctoral fellows will be part of a vibrant community of post-graduate students, other post-docs and faculty members, in a highly supportive and diverse research environment with excellent resources and career development opportunities.
