Research Associate – University of Glasgow

The Research Institute of Neuroscience & Psychology at the University of Glasgow is recruiting for a full time Research Associate in the field of sleep and learning.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Researcher to make a leading contribution to a project on “Modulating sleep with learning to enhance learning”, joining the laboratory of Professor Edwin M. Robertson within the Institute of Neuroscience & Psychology.

This group examines the architecture of human memory. We integrate together a variety of cutting edge techniques including behavioural analysis, functional imaging and brain stimulation. Together, these are used to provide a picture of how the content and structure of a memory determines its fate (retained or enhanced) across different brain states (sleep vs. wakefulness).

Currently, there is an opening in our group funded by the Leverhulme Trust (UK). It would suit a bright, enthusiastic, aspiring researcher willing to think carefully, creatively, critically and collaboratively (with the Principal Investigator) about their work in this project on human neuroscience.

The group provides a superb training environment, with many using it as a foundation to secure independent fellowships, and faculty positions. The laboratory is housed within the Institute of Neuroscience & Psychology (INP), which is home to several Wellcome Trust Investigators, and national academy members (Royal Society, Edinburgh).

Applicants will be qualified to SCQF level 12 (PhD) Neuroscience, Psychology or other related subject or alternatively possess the equivalent in professional qualifications and experience, with experience of personal development in a similar or related role(s) and have experience of conducting human neuroscience experiments with neuroimaging and/or brain stimulation techniques (Neuroimaging (MEG, fMRI) and/or brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS, tACS), and their subsequent analysis.

Informal enquiries on this post should be directed to Professor Edwin Robertson, Edwin.Robertson@glasgow.ac.uk

This is a full time post and has funding for up 3 years.
