Neuroscientist Research Fellow in Computational Psychiatry and Decision Making
5 days ago
About the Position
We are seeking an ambitious cognitive neuroscientist to undertake high-quality research in cognitive neuroscience under the supervision of Professor Ray Dolan at UCL.
The position allows for research flexibility in relation to the precise research focus, but will be expected to align broadly with the current interests of the laboratory, which includes decision making, reward learning, and questions related to how we abstract and learn from prior experience.
You will have opportunities for innovative input, including developing independent lines of research, and exploiting computational approaches to understanding brain function through imaging modalities such as magnetoencephalography.
There will be opportunities for collaborations both within and outside UCL, including with partners in Germany. The post is available for 2 years and offers a competitive salary of £38, - £41, per annum.
About You
To be successful in this role, you will have a PhD in computational neuroscience, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or a related area, coupled with experience of conducting neuroscience research and a publication record of high-quality research outputs commensurate with your career stage.
You will also require experience in conducting imaging research using MEG/EEG, data collection and analysis, computational approaches to data analysis, programming, good communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
This role meets the eligibility requirements for a skilled worker certificate of sponsorship or a global talent visa under UK Visas and Immigration legislation. Therefore, UCL welcomes applications from international applicants who require a visa.
What We Offer
Appointment as Research Fellow is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD; if this is not the case, initial appointment will be as Research Assistant (salary £38, - £41, per annum) with appointment as Research Fellow being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis.
As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer great benefits, some of which are below:
- 41 Days holiday (27 days annual leave 8 bank holiday and 6 closure days)
- Additional 5 days' annual leave purchase scheme
- Defined benefit career average revalued earnings pension scheme (CARE)
