This position is part of a project funded by a UKRI Future Leadership Fellowship award, “Dissecting the Neural Code for Skilled Action Planning and Coordination” (£2.2M) for 4 years, with a potential grant extension of up to 3 years.

The lab studies the neural control of skilled movements and aims to develop non-invasive neurotechnology to assist and improve movement control in individuals with movement disorders. This research project will be conducted in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of postdocs, research assistants, and PhD students, as well as external collaborators at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Imperial College London and University of Oxford, with a generous travel budget for research visits, training and conferences.

This 2-year postdoctoral position is available from 1st March 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter. Salary will be at grade 7.

Main Duties

Contribute to the design, implementation, and analysis of experiments related to motor control and skill learning.

Conduct research using a variety of neuroimaging techniques such as EEG, fMRI, EMG, force tracking, kinematics, and concurrent EEG-fMRI.

Develop and test brain stimulation protocols, including temporal interference stimulation (tTIS).

Manage all aspects of research projects, including preregistration, data collection, documentation, analysis, and dissemination of research methods and results.

Collaborate with multidisciplinary team members including postdocs, research assistants, and PhD students, as well as external collaborators.

PhD in neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, electrophysiology, electrical engineering, or a related discipline; candidates who are nearing completion must have completed their PhD viva/defence prior to the start date of the position.

Peer-reviewed publications or preprints in relevant fields.

Proven experience with neuroimaging techniques, specifically EEG and fMRI.

Strong quantitative skills, including programming for data analysis (e.g., Matlab, R, or Python).

Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary research team.

Excellent oral presentation skills.

Excellent communication and organisational skills.

Ability to design, implement, and analyse complex experiments related to skilled motor control and movement.

Motivation to contribute to innovative research on neurotechnology and motor control.
