cell 溅出的水花儿：                         Postdoctoral research fellowship in sleep dependent memory consolidation.
         
           
         
          Applications are invited for a 3 year postdoctoral fellowship to study neuroplasticity associated with sleep dependent memory consolidation using fMRI, MEG, and sleep monitoring with EEG. The fellow will be based at the University of Manchester, with a start date on or prior to June 2008.
         
           
         
          The Project
         
          It is now well established that procedural skills are strengthened during post-training sleep, and that such consolidation is associated with alterations in neural circuitry. This neuroplasticity is thought to be caused by the reactivation of task-related circuitry during post-training sleep, in combination with the electrophysiological and pharmacological characteristics of that sleep. This fellowship will focus upon sleep dependent neuroplasticity by using fMRI, MEG, and EEG first to characterise sleep-dependent changes in the activity of local brain regions and brain networks, and second to track the evolution of such changes during a night of sleep.
         
           
         
          Manchester’s neuroscience community %26 facilities
         
          Manchester University provides a vibrant intellectual community with a strong commitment to cognitive neuroscience. Facilities include 3 Tesla and 1.5 Tesla Philips MR scanners at the Translational Imaging Unit http://www.mhs.manchester.ac.uk/tiu/ and a PET scanner at the Wolfson Molecular Imaging Centre http://www.mhs.manchester.ac.uk/research/facilities/wmic/ . The appointed researcher will join the Neuroscience and Aphasia Unit (NARU) http://www.psych-ci.manchester.ac.uk/naru/ and work closely with the Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience unit http://www.psychsci.manchester.a ... nitionandcognitive/ in the School of Psychology. MEG studies will be performed at the University of Liverpool’s MARIARC centre http://www.liv.ac.uk/mariarc/ .
         
           
         
          We have a strong commitment to developing our researchers into mature principal investigators. The appointee will be encouraged to assume leadership roles in thinking independently and creatively with respect to identifying and pursuing topics of interest and possibly supervising more junior scientists.
         
           
         
          Collaborators %26 Training
         
          This post provides an exceptional opportunity to learn cutting edge techniques in fMRI, MEG, and EEG. It is part of a 3 year BBSRC grant to Dr. Penny Lewis http://www.surrey.ac.uk/SBMS/SSRC/, Andrej Stancak of MARIARC, and Dr. Stefan Kiebel at the Functional Imaging Laboratory http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/. The successful candidate will travel regularly to visit these collaborators and learn cutting edge techniques for experimental design and analysis.
