Ireland – University of Dublin (Trinity College) Postdoctoral Research Positions in Decision Neuroscience
Postdoctoral research positions in Decision Neuroscience
O’Doherty lab, Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
Two post-doctoral research fellowships are available to investigate the neural mechanisms of reward-learning, choice and decision making in the human brain in the laboratory of Prof. John P. O’Doherty at Trinity College Dublin. The posts, part of a research programme funded by Science Foundation Ireland, will involve the design and conduct of fMRI experiments in humans, and the application of computational models of choice and decision making to behavioural and neural data.
The project will be carried out using state of the art MRI facilities at the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, Trinity College
Dublin, Ireland.
A background in cognitive or behavioral neuroscience is essential, and some experience of or interest in computational neuroscience, particularly relating to reinforcement learning or decision making would be an advantage. A familiarity with functional neuroimaging techniques (fMRI in particular) and a working knowledge of SPM or other fMRI analysis packages would also be an advantage.
The positions are available for a period of 2 to 3 years.
Start date: As soon as is practicable.
Interested candidates should send a CV, brief statement of research interests, and contact details for two referees to John O’Doherty: odoherjp[ at ]tcd.ie. Informal enquiries are also welcome.
Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
Trinity College Dublin is an equal opportunity employer.
