[Mne_analysis] Post-doc position in the neurobiology of language at University of Cambridge

[Barry Devereux]

Applications are invited for an experienced and enthusiastic computer
scientist / cognitive neuroscientist to work on an ERC Advanced
Investigator grant on the neurobiology of language comprehension using MEG
neuroimaging and statistical language modelling techniques.

The applicant will join the Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain (
http://cslb.psychol.cam.ac.uk), an inter-disciplinary team led by Professor
L.K. Tyler. The Centre has access to a research-dedicated 3T Siemens MR
scanner, and EEG and MEG facilities. We currently use a variety of analysis
methods on MEG data-sets, and in particular multivariate analysis methods
such as Representational Similarity Analyses.

Applicants must have a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, computer science,
computational neuroscience, or a related discipline. Candidates are
expected to have excellent computer programming (especially MATLAB and/or
Python) skills, advanced statistical skills, and expertise in statistical
language modelling and/or machine learning. Experience of MEG analyses,
particularly in using multivariate neuroimaging methods for MEG data and
MEG source localization methods, and knowledge of the neurobiology of
language processing are highly desirable. Relevant post-doctoral experience
is also desirable. Given the nature of the research, candidates should be
fully fluent in English.

Informal enquiries can be made to Professor Tyler (
lktyler at csl.psychol.cam.ac.uk) or telephone 01223 766457.
