Duties include helping with subject recruitment, running experiments (brain imaging and behavioural studies) and contributing to data analysis.

Some prior exposure to cognitive, behavioural or computational neuroscience would be an advantage. The project will be carried out using state of the art MRI facilities at the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. The position is available for a period of 2 to 3 years.

Start date: As soon as is practicable.
