Post-doctoral research assistant: Image analysis in pharmacological FMRI
Oxford University Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB)
Salary: RS1(A) £20,044 - £25,565
We are seeking a post-doctoral research scientist with an interest in
image analysis. The post-holder would investigate and develop markers of
changing brain activity in functional magnetic resonance imaging data.
The project aims to assess measures of brain activity in FMRI signals in
order to improve the sensitivity to drug-effects in future human
pharmacological studies. The position will involve developing
statistical analyses of human pharmacological FMRI data.
The ideal candidate would have a doctorate in a relevant discipline
(e.g. engineering/physics/psychology/physiology) with strong experience
of programming for data analysis using software such as Matlab. An
excellent academic track record is required along with research
experience in data analysis methods e.g. statistics. Experience of image
analysis and experimentation, especially in FMRI or other areas of
neuroimaging, would be an advantage.
The post is funded for one year by Pfizer Ltd. Employment could begin
from January 2005 for a period of one year.
