Fwd: Post-doctoral fellowship at National Neuroscience Institute, Singapore

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Singapore National Neuroscience Institute of Singapore is looking for postdoctoral fellow in the field of multimodal neuroimaging in dementia. This is a collaborative project with Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, Duke-National University Singapore Graduate Medical School, Singapore. Our group, studies the vulnerability patterns underlying cognitive impairment in neurodegenerative diseases. Multimodal neuroimaging and psychophysical techniques are employed, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, and electroencephalography (EEG). We are interested in examining the network-level structural and functional brain connectivity to shed light on the neurobiological mechanism of disease, paving the way for early detection and intervention. Candidates must have a passionate enthusiasm for research, a strong background in one of the following fields: cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychiatric disorders, neuroimaging analyses, mathematics/statistics/machine learning or related-fields. He/She should also possess the ability to take the initiative, work independently and be motivated to work in a highly collaborative and international research environment, and be able to demonstrate creativity, technical independence and excellent communication skills. Strong interest in applications of multimodal neuroimaging in neuropsychiatric disorders is preferred. Proven skills in fMRI/EEG/DTI data or neuropsychological data analyses is a plus but not necessary. Key attractions are access to a 3T Tim Trio MR scanner and a MR compatible digital EEG system as well as collaboration opportunities with an excellent network of domestic and international scientists and clinicians. The position will be two years with possible extension. Competitive package will be provided based on experience.
