We are hiring two postdoctoral research positions linked to a recently awarded BBSRC grant held jointly across Royal Holloway, University of London, and Cardiff University (e.g., Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre, CUBRIC). This exciting project will apply state-of-the-art 7-Tesla MRI (and connectom diffusion MRI) to examine the functional neuroanatomy and connectivity of the human subiculum and broader hippocampal network.
The successful candidates will join a supportive multi-disciplinary research team across Royal Holloway and Cardiff University and will be expected to work closely with one another across sites. There will also be the opportunity to analyse existing in-house and publicly available multimodal imaging datasets (structural/diffusion MRI, 3T/7T resting, and task-fMRI). Successful applicants will have a Ph.D. in cognitive/imaging neuroscience, experimental psychology, or related field (e.g., computational neuroscience or computer science). Strong skills in advanced statistical methods (e.g., MVPA, intersubject correlation analysis, and/or network analyses), manuscript preparation, and working closely with other institutions are essential. A primary interest in the neuroscience of memory and spatial navigation and/or the analysis of existing large-sample datasets is desirable.
These positions are available to start as soon as possible and further detail can be found here:
