Connectionists: Two postdoctoral opportunities in Consciousness Science

[Anil Seth]

Two full-time post-doctoral positions are available within the new 
multidisciplinary Sackler Centre for Consciousness Science (SCCS) at 
Sussex University, starting early 2010 and lasting for three years. The 
deadlines are Dec 10 (1st position, extended from Nov 30) and Dec 11 
(2nd position).  Successful candidates will work on developing and 
testing cognitive/computational neuroscience accounts of neural 
mechanisms underlying consciousness, in health and in disease. One 
position will focus on basic science, another will have a more clinical 
focus.  Both positions will involve a mix of cognitive neuroscience, 
computational modelling, and functional brain imaging. Each post comes 
with a broad remit with opportunities to follow your own research 
interests within the area of cognitive/computational neuroscience 
relevant to consciousness. Successful candidates will work with Dr. Anil 
Seth  and Prof. Hugo Critchley (SCCS directors) and other researchers in 
the group.  For more information, please see
