The Neuroscience Research Partnership is funded by the Agency for Science Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore's lead government agency dedicated to fostering world-class scientific research. In partnership with the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, the NRP research activities span molecular and cellular neurobiology, developmental neuroscience, neurodegeneration and other neurological disorders, and cognitive neuroscience. The NRP provides access to state-of-the-art scientific facilities and infrastructure, and offers a vibrant and innovative environment to foster world-class research.
The multidisciplinary Laboratory of Multimodal Neuroimaging in Neuropsychiatric Disorders is led by Principle Investigator, Dr. Helen Juan Zhou, located at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, Neuroscience and Behavioral Disorders Program, Singapore. It is supported by the Neuroscience Research Partnership between Duke-NUS and A&STAR, Singapore. Using multimodal neuroimaging techniques (fMRI/DTI/EEG), our lab focuses on: (1) developing computational intelligence methods to integrate longitudinal multimodal neuroimaging data; and (2) applying these methods to study healthy human brain organization underlying social-emotion/cognitive/memory functions and vulnerability patterns in neuropsychiatric disorders. Our ultimate goal is to investigate the interactions among network dynamics, behaviors, diseases, and genotypes in order to explore non-invasive biomarkers for behavior prediction, differential diagnosis, and treatment design.
Candidates must have a passionate enthusiasm for research, a strong background in one of the following fields: cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychiatric disorders, neuropsychology, neuroimaging analyses, mathematics/statistics/machine learning or related-fields. He or she should be self-motivated, enjoy working as a team and constantly seek new challenges. He/ She should also possess the ability to take the initiative, work independently and be motivated to work in a highly collaborative and international research environment, and be able to demonstrate creativity, technical independence and excellent communication skills.
Requirements
1. PhD in one of the following fields: cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, neuroimaging analyses, mathematics/statistics/machine learning or related-fields
2. Strong interest in studying social-emotion/cognition/memory functions and/or analyzing multimodal neuroimaging data, for neuropsychiatric disorders
3. Proven skills in fMRI/EEG/DTI data analyses is a plus but not necessary
Key attractions are access to a 3T Tim Trio MR scanner and a MR compatible digital EEG system as well as collaboration opportunities with an excellent network of domestic and international scientists and doctors. Competitive package will be provided based on experience.
Interested applicants are welcome to email Dr. Zhou at [log in to unmask] with the application letter, curriculum vitae, three references, and contact information.
