JOB ADVERT:
 
Postdoctoral Position to study Neural Basis of Emotion-Reason Interactions
 
Applications are invited for postdoctoral position funded by a Wellcome
Trust Grant entitled "Understanding the Neural Basis of Emotion-Reason
Interactions."  The project involves applying methodologies of lesion and
neuroimaging studies to carry out experiments with neurological patient
populations and normal controls to explore the neural basis of
emotion-reason interactions, where "reason" is interpreted broadly.
Applicants must have a PhD (or M.D.) in a relevant area such as cognitive
neuroscience, cognitive science, computational neuroscience,
behavioral/neural economics, evolutionary psychology, etc., and a track
record of writing and publishing scientific articles. They must also be
fluent in spoken and written English, knowledgeable about the relevant
literature on thought and emotional processes, and experienced in the design
and analyses of patient/behavioral studies and/or or fMRI studies, and/or
TMS studies, and/or ERP studies. Knowledge of computer programming is also
very desirable.
 
The project is a collaboration between Vinod Goel's Cognitive Neuroscience
of Reasoning Lab (see http://psy.hull.ac.uk/Staff/v.goel/ ) at the
Department of Psychology, University of Hull and the Cognitive Neuroscience
Section, NIH, headed by Dr. Jordan Grafman (see
http://intra.ninds.nih.gov/lab.asp?org_id=83). The position may well require
splitting time between Hull, UK and North America.
 
The post is available from 1st May 2010 (flexible) for a maximum of two
years.
 
Informal enquires can be made to Vinod Goel, e-mail: v.goel at hull.ac.uk.
 
Applications consisting of a letter of interest, CV, including names of
three referees, and sample articles should be sent to v.goel at hull.ac.uk
