Biography
Mark Buckley read Biological Science at New College, Oxford University (1990 to 1993), and afterwards studied for a D.Phil in Experimental Psychology (1993 to 1997). In 1999 he was awarded a postdoctoral MRC Research Training Fellowship to continue his research with David Gaffan in the Department of Experimental Psychology. In 2002 he was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship and held that position until 2007 when he was appointed to a University Lectureship in Experimental Psychology at Oxford. Mark Buckley retains a 'Visiting Scientist' position and an active collaboration with colleagues at the Cognitive Brain Mapping Laboratory, RIKEN Brain Science Institute, Wako, Japan. In Oxford, Mark Buckley is a Fellow of The Queen's College and a lecturer at Magdalen College and his research is funded by the MRC.
