participants in both a purely behavioral and functional brain imaging
setting, contacting and scheduling research participants, managing
institutional review board (IRB) protocols, and data analysis.
Requirements for a successful applicant include spoken and written
proficiency in English, a minimum of a bachelor-level degree (e.g., BA
or BS), preferably in psychology, neuroscience, computer science,

assessment of cognition, emotional, brain imaging, genetics and
epigenetics from infancy onwards and environmental measurements, such as
maternal mental health, nutrition, social support etc. We are now
seeking researchers who are interested in mining GUSTO data at all
levels. We aim to identify new markers characterizing environmental,
genetic, and cognitive factors and hence explaining epigenetic markers
and children’s mental health. The position includes opportunities to
apply novel computational models to high-dimensional data sets and
develop expertise in 'big data' analysis in neuroscience and to work
within a highly multidisciplinary research setting that includes
expertise in bioinformatics and biostatistics.
Requirements:

this morning. Problems started shortly after 7am.
IT Services are working with JANET to return the connection to a stable
state. Work originally scheduled by IT Services to take place this
morning has not yet taken place and therefore the JANET connection
should be regarded as at risk. IT Services will be providing updates on
