    Default job background
    Fixed Term
    Description

    A position exists, for a Research Assistant/Associate in spinal/brain neuroimaging and computational neuroscience in the Department of Engineering, to work on projects related to the neural processing and endogenous modulation of pain signals in the central nervous system.

    The postdoc will be supervised by Dr Flavia Mancini and join the dynamic and multidisciplinary research environment of the Computational and Biological Learning group ()

    The post will be in Central Cambridge, UK.

    The key responsibilities/duties are:

  • Modelling/Analysing neural, neuroimaging or behavioural data
  • Ideating, designing and conducting neuroimaging/behavioural studies on statistical or aversive learning, using computational and neuroimaging research methods in humans
  • Dissemination of research findings (writing papers, presenting at lab meetings and conferences, public engagement)
  • Collaborating with others in research projects and being involved in the supervision of research student projects
  • Maintaining and developing methodological/ technical skills to expand their scientific potential. The post-holder is expected to grow and develop in methodological skills and theoretical understanding during this post.
  • The skills, qualifications and experience required to perform the role are:

  • Obtained (or be close to obtaining) a PhD in computational neuroscience, neuroimaging, physics, mathematics, biology or related neuroscience field.
  • Obtained a master degree in a relevant neuroscience, engineering, physics, biology or related field.
  • Quantitative background, with research experience in theoretical neuroscience and/or neuroimaging.
  • Demonstrable programming skills/experience, able to analyse/model behavioral and neural data.
  • Specialist skills in neuroimaging methods, from data collection to analysis are desirable (ideally fMRI).
  • Strong track record of peer-reviewed publications
  • Good organizational and project management skills
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Appointment at Research Associate level is dependent on having a PhD. Those who have not yet received their PhD will be appointed at Research Assistant level, which will be amended to Research Associate once the PhD is awarded.
