Job Description
Research Fellow in Cognitive Neuroimaging of Perception
Over the past 30 years, the Department of Imaging Neuroscience, home to the internationally renowned Functional Imaging Laboratory (FIL), has pioneered the development and application of imaging techniques to advance our understanding of the human brain. It continues to play a leading role in progressing and transforming research in many areas of neuroscience. The Department hosts multiple large-scale collaborative grants including the Wellcome-funded Discovery Research Platform for Naturalistic Neuroimaging, and the Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry and Ageing Research.
The Visual Perception team, based in the Department and led by Professor Peter Kok, uses a combination of state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques (esp. 7T fMRI and MEG) to shed light on the neural underpinning of our visual perception of the world. A major insight from the past decades is that visual perception is strongly infl...
