A postdoctoral position is available for a cognitive neuroscientist in the Speech and Brain research group  based at the Department of Experimental Psychology and the Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of Brain (FMRIB Centre).

Job Description: The research is funded by the Wellcome Trust, and will investigate interactions between auditory and motor areas in the brain during speech perception and production.

Other criteria are: autonomy through all stages of experimentation, sound knowledge of experimental design and statistical methods, and proven ability to express ideas and disseminate findings effectively. Applicants should be able to work independently as well as co-operate with other members of the research team.

The position is funded from 1 January 2011 for two years in the first instance with the possibility of renewal for a further 12 months.
