North Ryde, Australia Macquarie University Full time

PRIMARY DETAIL

Opportunity for an enthusiastic Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on a Future Fellowship project investigating how interruption affects our performance of dynamic tasks

THE ROLE- Salary Package: (Level A) From $81,581 - $109,852 plus 17% employer's superannuation and annual leave loading- Appointment type: Full-time, Fixed-term position for 3 years- Location: Macquarie University (Wallumattagal Campus, North Ryde)

The Role

There is an opportunity for an enthusiastic postdoctoral research fellow to work with Professor Anina Rich on a Future Fellowship project investigating how interruption affects our performance of dynamic tasks.

The project combines rigorous experimental design with innovative analysis methods to explore the neural consequences of interruption and the process of recovery using multivariate pattern analysis (‘decoding’) methods. We use Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and Encephalography (EEG) combined with behavioural tasks to study the neural mechanisms underpinning sustained attention.

The specific aims of the project are to:
1. Examine the factors that influence _recovery from interruption during dynamic tasks_.

2. Discover the _neural consequences of interruptions and timecourse of recovery._

3. Develop evidence-based approaches to _guide policy and individual behaviour _around interruption and distraction.- Develop and conduct behavioural and neurophysiological studies to explore the consequences of interruption and the mechanisms of sustained attention.-
- Positively contribute to lab meetings and culture, including informal mentoring of more junior researchers.

About You

The successful applicant will be interested in working in a collegial collaborative research group, underpinned by values of scientific rigour, integrity and equity. You will have, or be close to obtaining a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, or a related field. You may have already conducted research in neuroimaging/neurophysiological measures (fMRI, MEG &/or EEG) and have an interest in the neural basis of attention and cognitive control. Your skillset includes competence in programming (for example, in Matlab, Python or similar) that will set you up for conducting multivariate analyses of neural data. We can’t wait to meet you
