Postdoctoral Research Assistant: Modelling Brain Connectivity
Oxford University Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB)
Academic-related salary scale, Grade 7: Salary £28,839 – 35,469 p.a.
The Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain
(FMRIB) seeks a postdoctoral research assistant to work with Drs. Tim
Behrens and Saad Jbabdi in diffusion MRI methods development.
Employment could begin from March 2010 and is funded by the European
Commission for a period of 2 years as part of a pan-European
consortium of diffusion-imaging researchers “CONNECT”. Oxford’s
contribution to this project aims to integrate biophysical models of
white matter architecture into Bayesian tractography routines.
Candidates should have a doctorate in a relevant discipline, together
with knowledge of statistics and preferably Bayesian learning, with
the necessary mathematical and computational skills to put these into
practice. Knowledge in methods for analysing neuroimaging data, in
particular diffusion MRI, is desirable but not essential. Skills in
computer programming (especially Matlab and C++) are essential. For
links to further information see www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/analysis.
Applications, including a curriculum vitae and details of two
referees, should be sent to Mrs Marilyn Goulding, FMRIB Centre, John
Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford OX3 9DU, fax: (01865) 222717; e‑mail: [log in to unmask]
uk. Please quote reference HM09-024. The closing date for
applications is January 8th 2010.
