Postdoctoral position 

Digital Technologies, Neuroimaging & Machine Learning

at Forschungszentrum Jülich & HHU Düsseldorf

A postdoctoral position is available initially for 2 years with long-term option at the newly founded research group “Biomarker Development” at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine Brain and Behaviour (INM-7). 

The focus of the position is on development of a novel digital biomarker platform to allow synergistic collection and analysis of sensor-based (i.e smartphone and smartwatch) but also neuroimaging and clinical data to identify novel biomarkers across neurological and psychiatric indications. The postdoctoral researcher will thereby implement her/his own research using on one side existing large public datasets covering the above modalities but also implement collection of novel data from the respective clinical populations in collaboration with local University Hospitals. As related to her/his project, the postdoctoral researcher will be also closely involved in supervision of Bachelor, Master and PhD students and have the possibility to contribute to teaching.

Requirements:

·         PhD in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering or a related field

·         Strong experience with programming languages such as Python, Matlab and R

·         Strong statistical knowledge and ideally solid experience with Machine Learning Application

·         Experience in app development for Android or iOS is highly desired

·         Experience with database setup and maintenance is highly desired

·         Experience with processing and analyses of neuroimaging data is a plus

To apply:

Please send your CV, names of two referees, one-page letter of motivation (empathizing any related work/projects) and representative publications to Juergen Dukart via email ([log in to unmask]). Please mention “Postdoctoral application” in the subject.
