Job Title: MCIN Image Processing Specialist

Job Code: IPS201503

Application Deadline: 15 May 2015

Organization: McGill University

Group: McGill Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (MCIN)

Introduction:

The McGill Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (MCIN ; http://www.mcin-cnim.ca), directed by Dr. Alan Evans at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI ; http://www.mni.mcgill.ca), is seeking candidates for two positions in the area of multi-modal, multi-dimensional image processing. 

The MCIN is part of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC ; http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca), a major brain mapping environment with access to various scanning facilities, HPC platforms and data analytic pipelines. Research at MCIN is focused on (i) structural and functional connectomics, (ii) multi-modal neuroinformatics and high-performance computing (HPC), and (iii) neuroimaging applications in neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration research. 

Candidates with a strong brain image processing background are invited to apply for two positions:

1) Post-doctoral fellow: to work on image-processing challenges associated with structural imaging in early neurodevelopment.

2) Research associate: to develop high-level image-processing solutions, in both structural and functional domains, that have wide application.

The candidates are required to have a PhD in computer science, engineering, applied physics or mathematics. The positions demand strong programming skills in C, Perl, or Python. Prior experience in at least one of the areas of image processing, digital signal processing, computational modeling and statistics is essential. Preferably, candidates will have experience in applying computational solutions to current neuroscience research (such as distributed neuroimaging analyses, fusion of genetics and different types of neuroimaging or behavioural phenotypes, and expertise in visualization of multimodal neuroscience data). The candidates are expected to work independently, be team-oriented and participate in providing solutions for clinical and basic neuroscience research, within the guidelines of the software engineering department. The candidates are expected to write and publish their work.

How to apply:

Please, forward a statement of research interests, your CV, names of three references and a representative example of your publication or software tools to <[log in to unmask]>. Please, include in the subject line “Job Code IPS201503”.

The position is funded for 12 months after a three-month probation, with possibility of extension. Salary is commensurate with experience, and the employees are entitled to pension and insurance, according to McGill University’s policies.

Direct hire only. Please, no agencies, no phone, no fax and no other inquiries. We thank all applicants for their interest and wish to advise that only those candidates selected for an interview will be acknowledged and contacted. McGill University is an equal opportunity employer.
