Prior experience with neuroimaging and psychophysical techniques is highly
preferred. Initial appointment is for up to two years. Starting date is

the campus on Saadiyat Island (Abu Dhabi’s cultural hub), and has access to
the state-of-the-art neuroimaging and behavioral facilities (including MRI,

Apart from a generous salary, the postdoctoral researcher will receive
housing and other benefits. More information about living in Abu Dhabi can
