Working as part of the Experiment Support Team, you will independently manage the EEG and MEG laboratories.

You will be the first point of contact for new users of the neurophysiology and brain stimulation equipment, and will provide training in lab procedures and protocols. You will ensure that all studies are carried out according to good clinical practice (GCP) and ethical requirements, and that data collection documentation is in order.

Along with an interest of scientific research into brain science and technologies, you will have an excellent working knowledge of computers and databases. Experience in brain stimulation techniques would be desirable.
