TimesWe are seeking a physicist with a high
level of mathematical proficiency (or equivalently qualified
individual) to take up a 4 year post in the Department of Clinical
Neurosciences, University of Cambridge, UK. The successful applicant
will join a research team comprising clinicians and physicists from
the Neurology division and The Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre, to work
on analysis (including tractography) of diffusion-weighted MRI data in
degenerative dementias. Candidates should have completed (or at least
submitted) their doctoral thesis on a relevant topic and ideally
should be experienced in the use of UNIX, coding in C/C++, Matlab,
parallel computing, statistical methods, MRI data for modeling (inc.
tractography), experience of MR sequence development for DW-MRI and
broad experience of data analysis techniques. Work would involve
implementation and optimization of image acquisition and data modeling
to address research questions in cognitive disorders both from a
clinical and theoretical neuropsychological perspective. In addition
to refining data within existing algorithms, there would be
considerable scope and time for development of novel methodologies.
