•               Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs 

 

 

The post is funded for 3 years and is based in the Department of Psychiatry at the Warneford Hospital.  

 

You will develop research questions within a specific context, conduct individual research on the neuronal mechanisms supporting reading acquisition and reading disorders in children, including dyslexia, analysing detailed and complex OPM-MEG, eye-tracking and behavioural data, and generating original ideas by building on existing concepts in reading, attention, brain oscillations, developmental cognitive neuroscience and atypical reading development. You will develop, establish and pursue appropriate analytical protocols and techniques to support research including paediatric OPM-MEG acquisition, child-friendly reading paradigms suitable for children with typical reading development and children with reading problems or disorders, eye-tracking, rapid frequency tagging, multivariate analysis, time-frequency analysis, source modelling and robust quality assurance procedures 

 

You will hold a relevant Ph.D/D.Phil with post-qualification research experience in cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, psychology, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline. You will have the ability to independently plan and manage a research project, including a research budget and the operational delivery of a 3-year child OPM-MEG research strand, including extension to children with reading problems or disorders, recruitment, scheduling, data collection, data quality monitoring, communication with parents and schools, ethical approvals, risk assessments and safeguarding procedures. Experience of working with children, schools and/or families in research settings, ideally including children with reading problems or developmental reading disorders such as dyslexia, and experience with child-friendly experimental procedures and safeguarding-aware practice is desirable.

The post is funded for 3 years and is based in the Department of Psychiatry at the Warneford Hospital.  

 

You will manage own academic research and administrative activities within the project on the neuronal mechanisms of reading in children. This involves project management to coordinate participant recruitment, OPM-MEG and eye-tracking data collection, analysis, documentation and reporting to meet deadlines. You will adapt existing and develop new scientific techniques and child-friendly experimental protocols for OPM-MEG, eye-tracking and reading tasks, including procedures for consent/assent, safeguarding, participant comfort and data quality assurance. 

 

 

You will have or be close to completion of a relevant PhD/DPhil, , in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, neuroscience, biomedical engineering or a related discipline, together with relevant research experience.

The Oxford Centre for Emerging Minds Research is a newly funded research centre that has been established to conduct world class research that contributes to a world where differences between children and young people are understood and accepted, strengths are capitalised on, and mental health difficulties are prevented or addressed early in life.

 

This is an exciting opportunity for two senior research fellows to work on projects that aim to advance the following research aims:

1) Understanding how children and young people’s strengths, aptitudes and interests can be identified and capitalised on to promote good mental health and development.

2) Identifying the key mechanisms that underpin mental health in children and young - people and/or how they can be targeted to deliver effective, accessible and inclusive interventions to promote good mental health or prevent or treat mental health problems in children or young people.
