Fwd: Job Announcement: Post-Doctoral Research Worker (Neuroimaging Data Analysis)‏ at King's College London

by Gary Green

Post-Doctoral Research Worker (Neuroimaging Data Analysis) King's College London We would like to invite applications for the post of Research Worker in Neuroimaging Data Analysis. This position will be fixed term until 02 February 2016 and is a full-time post. The successful candidate will play a key role in collecting and analysing multimodal neuroimaging and neurodevelopmental data from a longitudinal cohort of young adults who were born very preterm. The successful candidate will become part of the Preterm Research Group, which is studying the effects of being born preterm on subsequent neurodevelopment, cognition and behaviour. The project, funded by the Medical Research Council, aims to investigate neurodevelopment into adulthood following very preterm birth. First, the study will assess their cognition (including learning disabilities, memory and attention) and mental health. Second, the study will use various neuroimaging techniques to examine how the brain changes as people grow into adults. The aim of the study is to define for the first time maturational patterns associated with the risk of poor outcome, as well as those associated with developmental resilience, and thus guide the design of remediation strategies to be implemented at very preterm individuals at younger ages aimed at reducing or preventing long-term disability. Working closely with Lead Investigators, the successful candidate will contribute to the successful conduct and completion of the research programme. He/she will play a key role in conducting and supporting neuroimaging data analysis and integrating current data with those collected longitudinally. Experience using SPM, Freesurfer, FSL, AFNI, machine learning methods is preferred, as well as proficiency in multiple programming language types and the ability to choose proper tool(s) to apply to specific projects including compiled (Java, C++), shell scripting, Perl, Python and MATLAB. The successful candidate will also be involved in postgraduate teaching and will be encouraged to develop his/her own research interests. *27 days annual leave, plus additional college closure days at Easter and Christmas *This post is superannuable under the USS pension scheme For an informal discussion of the post please contact the PI, Chiara Nosarti, Reader in Neurodevelopment and Mental Health, on 0207 848 0133, or via email at chiara.nosarti(a)kcl.ac.uk.
