Requirements
Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent (e.g. medical specialty in neurology) in neuroscience or a related field (computational neuroscience).
Essential skills include experience in developing models of neuroimaging (fMRI, PET).
Although not essential, experience in animal models of brain disease will be highly considered in the evaluation period.
Background in MATLAB, statistical analysis, and software packages such as SPM and FSL.
Offered
2-year full-time contract to develop the project. According to results, an additional 3-year extension period might be considered.
