Applications are invited for a post-doctoral researcher to join the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN). This centre brings together a large group of researchers across the University of Cambridge and at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (MRC-CBSU) who aim to relate brain changes to cognitive changes over the adult lifespan (covering ages 18-88). The appointee will work with a unique population-representative sample of 700 adults on whom we have collected extensive cognitive and neural measures. A subset of these individuals will be run in a further set of fMRI and MEG studies designed to probe major cognitive functions. The Cam-CAN project will integrate across these data-sets using a variety of methods, relating changes in neural structure and function over the lifespan to changes in cognitive function and capacity.

The role of the postholder will be to continue ongoing analyses of the 700 dataset, carry through the second stage fMRI and MEG studies, and play a key role in integrating the various Cam-CAN cognitive and imaging data-sets using multivariate and multimodal neuroimaging analysis methods. The appointee will be a cognitive neuroscientist with a strong background in imaging and imaging statistics, and cognitive and/or physiological ageing.

Candidates should have, or be in the final stages of obtaining, a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging methods, applied statistics or cognitive ageing. Knowledge of and experience in advanced imaging analyses, particularly connectivity analysis is essential, and it would be an advantage to have some experience of MEG/EEG and/or fMRI. Excellent statistical, computer programming (MATLAB and/or Python) and MEG analysis (SPM, Fieldtrip) skills are essential. Candidates should be careful, efficient, able to communicate effectively, and enjoy working as part of a diverse and energetic interdisciplinary team.

The applicant will be based in the Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain, Department of Psychology in central Cambridge. The Centre has access to a research-dedicated 3T Siemens MR scanner, EEG and MEG facilities housed at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 30 September 2015 in the first instance.
