Dear list,
*Job1: PhD Positions are available in Neuroimaging and Brainnetome*
Applications close: *Jan. 15, 2014*.

The role
The development of the brain is characterised by the formation of
connections between neurons. One of the largest fibre tracts in the
brain is the corpus callosum, which connects neurons in the left and
right cerebral hemispheres. We are using molecular and genetic
approaches as well as state-of-the-art imaging technologies to discover
how the brain is wired up during development. This work has direct
implications for understanding how the brain functions and the
pathophysiological mechanism of psychiatric disorders, by integrating
the multi-level network features obtained with various functional and
anatomical brain imaging technologies on different scales.
Five PhD positions are available at Brainnetome Center of CASIA to
utilise neuroimaging technologies to discover mechanisms of brain
wiring. These positions will be supported by CAS-TWAS President’s
Fellowship Programme for PhD Candidates from Developing Countries and
other grants. They involve developing neuroimage analysis methods and
tools and applying them to neuroscience and clinical problems. In this
role the students will develop skills in developing computational
algorithms and computer programming in neuroimage analysis that could be
utilised in both basic research and clinical areas.
The person
Applicants should meet the requirements of “CAS-TWAS President’s
Fellowship Programme for PhD Candidates from Developing Countries” and
have MSc degree in one of the following fields: mathematics, physics,
neuroimaging, computer science, electronic engineering, neurobiology,
psychology, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry, and neurology.
Outstanding C/C++ programming skills in Linux are highly desired.
