Fwd: Post-Doctoral Research Position, FMRIB Centre, Oxford

The Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain (FMRIB) seeks a postdoctoral researcher to work with Dr. Saad Jbabdi in developing novel methods for mapping the organisation of brain connections using MRI. Employment would ideally start in November 2014 or as soon as possible thereafter and is funded by the Medical Research Council for a period of 2 years in the first instance. The post holder will be contributing to new developments in modelling large scale brain connections, linking the organisation of connections to brain function, and validating in vivo tools against invasive methods. Candidates should have a doctorate in a relevant discipline, together with knowledge of statistics, with the necessary mathematical and computational skills to put these into practice. Knowledge in methods for analysing neuroimaging data is desirable but not essential. Skills in computer programming (e.g. Matlab, C/C++) are highly desirable. For an outline of the lab's research interests and links to further information see http://www.ndcn.ox.ac.uk/research/analysis-group The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Monday 20 October 2014.
