Research Fellow in Computational Psychiatry

Position: Post-doctoral Position

Deadline: 15 December 2024

Contract Length: 2 years in the first instance

City: London

Country: UK

Institution: University College London

Department:

Description:

We are recruiting a Research Fellow to undertake high quality research in the field of cognitive neuroscience at University College London (London, UK) under the supervision of Professor Ray Dolan, in collaboration with Dr Marc Busche and Professor Gareth Barnes. The research will focus on detecting early neural biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease using non-invasive neuroimaging techniques including MEG and Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs). The post is part of Q-BIOMED, the UK Quantum Biomedical Sensing Research Hub, which aims to exploit advances in quantum sensors for diagnosis.

This is a great opportunity for innovative input, including developing independent lines of research. You will be expected to exploit computational approaches to brain function (for example, through use of magnetoencephalography) and behaviour to leverage insights into how early phases of neurodegenerative disease impact upon cognition. The post offers opportunities for the successful candidate to innovate and develop novel lines of research.

 The post is available immediately and is funded for two years in the first instance with the possibility of extension to three years.
