    About the role

    Two Post-Doctoral Research Fellow positions are available in the Visual Communication Group at the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience.

The research will investigate British Sign Language (BSL), spoken English (visual/ audio-visual) and written English.
    • The second post-holder will lead a research programme that uses fMRI to investigate the neural representations elicited during language processing in deaf adults. The research will investigate BSL, spoken English (visual/ audio-visual) and written English.

    About you

    Successful candidates for these roles will be required to be enthusiastic, proactive, technically able, and highly collaborative individuals. The ideal candidate will have knowledge of BSL or another signed language to a Level 2 standard. If this is not the case, they will have a clear commitment to reach at least this level within 1yr of being in post (training will be provided).

    The post-holders will hold a PhD in Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience or a closely related discipline. They will have experience designing and running neuroimaging studies. They will be skilled in the use of Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) or similar open-source neuroimaging software and they will have programming experience e.g., using R, Matlab or Python.
