We are seeking a highly motivated Research Fellow to join the Language Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Queensland.
The successful applicant will play a key role on an NIH-funded research project on the functional reorganisation of language processing in individuals with post-stroke aphasia, under the mentorship of Stephen M. Wilson, PhD.
Our research is focused on investigating the neural basis of language function, understanding how language breaks down in patients with different kinds of aphasia, and identifying neural changes that can support recovery over time.

You will play a key role in carrying out planned analyses of this dataset, as well as helping to shape future data collection.
You will also be expected and encouraged to design and implement your own innovative analyses, to help shape future data collection, and to develop your independence as a researcher.
