Project Title: Investigating the neurobiological mechanisms of cognitive load - A neuroimaging and brain stimulation approach.

Project Introduction:

We are seeking an energetic research assistant with background in neuroscience, psychology, and/or exercise science join our team exploring the neurobiological mechanisms of cognitive load using a combination of neuroimaging and brain stimulation techniques.

Singapore is facing a rapidly aging population that is compounded by a low national birth rate and longer life expectancy of our residents. It is expected that by 2050, approximately 25% of the Singaporean population will be over the age of 65 years, which poses significant challenges in healthcare and socioeconomic domains (National Population and Talent Division., 2023). Older adults often experience cognitive aging and decline, including reduced memory, processing speed, and attention, which can negatively impact their quality of life and independence (Lustig et al., 2009). These deficits in executive functioning are a result of structural and functional brain changes that results in the brain becoming less efficient in supporting attentional demands to day-to-day activities (Cox & Deary, 2022). A key theory in cognitive aging is that older adults experience greater cognitive load (Cognitive Load Theory, CLT) during task performance compared to younger adults that is due to inefficient neural processing (Prince et al., 2024; Sweller, 1988). Cognitive load theory posits that the brain has finite working memory capacity to attend to cognitive tasks, and an overload of information will result in a deficit in learning or allocation of attentional resources to deal with cognitive task (Sweller & Chandler, 2009). Thus, as the brain ages and becomes more inefficient in processing and allocating attentional resources to deal with complex tasks, the likelihood of successful task performance, particularly in situations with time pressures, is negative affected. This project will address the following research questions:

1. What is the relationship between cognitive load, neural activity, and vascular response in young versus older adults during simple and complex cognitive task performance?

2. Can non-invasive brain stimulation modulate the neural and vascular responses to cognitive load, and improve cognitive performance in older adults?

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, sport science, or related fields, with;
• Relevant research experience.
• Strong verbal communication and writing skills.
• Expertise in Microsoft applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Basic knowledge of statistics and SPSS.
• Able to work independently and in teams with minimal supervision.
• Able to work well with children and adolescents.
• Proactive, energetic, and keen to learn.
• Reliable and able to manage concurrent tasks in a timely manner.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct literature review.
• Assist in participant and stakeholder management within school contexts.
• Assist in the administration and management of project and intervention.
• Assist with behavioural and neurophysiological data collection, processing, and analysis.

Position Available: Research Fellow (Engineering/Physics)

The laboratory of Yijie Shen at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences is seeking to hire a research fellow with a solid theoretical background in optical angular momentum, particularly in vortex light fields, who has also conducted relevant research in this area. The research fellow will focus on two main aspects: 1) theoretical research on optical transverse angular momentum, and 2) the generation, measurement, and application of light fields carrying angular momentum or certain polarization states in long pulses.

Optical transverse angular momentum represents a cutting-edge topic in the field of optics. In the past three years, it has garnered significant attention and extensive research within the scientific community, with related work frequently published in top-tier journals. However, the theoretical understanding of optical transverse angular momentum is still in its infancy. The current theoretical frameworks remain unclear and lack solid foundations, with considerable discrepancies in its definition and calculation. Therefore, advancing its theoretical research is crucial, and this is expected to become a prominent research direction in optics in the coming years.

Additionally, experimental work on vortex light fields can also be pursued. While the generation and study of light beams carrying longitudinal angular momentum are already well-established, research on the generation and measurement techniques for light pulses carrying both longitudinal and transverse angular momentum is still in the early stages. Moreover, exploring potential applications of these light fields remains an open frontier. Theoretical studies involving optical vortices in pulses and ultrafast optics require further development to establish a comprehensive research framework.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct theoretical research on optical transverse orbital angular momentum, focusing on its definition and calculation
• Develop methods for numerical simulation for optical longitudinal and transverse angular momentum or generating and measuring light fields carrying longitudinal and transverse angular momentum. Investigate the practical applications of these light fields, such as using them as detection signals in various scenarios (e.g., interactions with different material interfaces)
• Work on the generation and measurement of long pulses with modified power spectrum and explore their applications in the field of communications
• Publish high-quality research papers to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field

Job Requirements:

• PhD degree in Engineering, Physics or related areas, with focus on optical angular momentum, optical vortex
• Experience in theoretical research for vortex beams, vector vortex beams and longitudinal/ transverse orbital angular momentum
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English is essential to conduct research
• Knowledge in classical electromagnetic theory/ quantum dynamics/ optics
• Background in one or more of the following topics: optical angular momentum, ultrafast optics, optical vortex
• Proficiency in scientific computation in C/C++ and MATLAB

The College of Science seeks a diverse and inclusive workforce and is committed to equality of opportunity. We welcome applications from all and recruit on the basis of merit, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, marital status and family responsibilities, or disability.
