The PhD candidate must have a background in computer science, (applied)
physics, mathematics, biomedical engineering, medical imaging,
computational neuroscience or a related field from an approved program,
with skills in scientific reporting/presenting, image processing or
machine learning and computer programming (preferably
C++/Matlab/Python). Prior (research) experience with MRI and/or medical
image processing/analysis is an advantage. The candidate should be

mental health themes of the Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre
(including medical physics, computer science, radiology, applied
mathematics and neuroscience). State of the art facilities include 7T,
3T and 1.5T whole body MRI scanners, MEG and MR-compatible EEG systems
and a PET-CT facility. The student will also benefit from the strong
affiliation of Dr Sotiropoulos with the Centre for Functional MRI of the
Brain (FMRIB) in Oxford and links within the Human Connectome Project
network.
