Research Scientist - Neuroimaging Analysis
Level depending upon qualifications and experience:
Research Officer / Senior Research Officer / Research Fellow / Senior
Research Fellow.
· 2 positions available - Structural & Functional Neuroimaging Analysis
(both positions requiring methods development and application)
· Medical research based at the Florey Neuroscience Institutes,
Melbourne, Australia.
The Florey Neuroscience Institutes employs more than 400 people who
are passionately committed to researching the way the brain works. We
are internationally renowned for our discoveries and research on the
central nervous system and associated brain disorders. Key areas of
interest include addiction, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular
disease, depression, epilepsy, Huntington’s disease, motor neuron
disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia,
stroke and traumatic and spinal cord injury.
An excellent opportunity is available for two Research Scientists to
work on projects investigating brain disorders (in particular
epilepsy) using brain imaging methods within the Brain Research
Institute at our Austin facility in Melbourne, Australia. Successful
applicants will assist in the implementation and development of MRI
analysis techniques within the Institute. This includes development,
implementation and advancement of structural and functional MRI
techniques for use in research and clinical environments.
- The first position has an initial requirement that the candidate
performs analysis and solves problems related to the implementation of
structural MRI analysis methods including quantitative morphometric
methods such as voxel based morphometry and cortical thickness
analyses.
- The second position has an initial requirement that the candidate
performs analysis and solves problems related to the implementation of
functional MRI analysis methods including conventional functional MRI
(fMRI), functional connectivity, and simultaneous
electroencephalography (EEG) and fMRI.
Each Research Scientist will also be expected to assist with aspects
of MRI quality control, software development, and participate in
general research activities of the Institute including submission of
research grants, publication of peer reviewed papers, and publication
of software.
