Fwd: Post-doc position available on fMRI methods for clinical applications

This might suit a person with lots of programming skills -------------------- We have a mystery post-doc fMRI-methods-oriented position opened joint between my group (Parietal, INRIA [1]) and the cognitive Science group of Neurospin (Unicog, INSERM [2]), in Paris. This position is financed by a project to use resting-state fMRI for pronostic on stroke patients. A first part of this data has been acquired by our clinical colleagues (Flore Baronnet-Chauvet and Yves Samson) and partly processed by myself (paper is in its final stages). We now have longitudinal data that is sitting on a disk for lack of researcher with time to analyze it. We have money to pay for a post-doc (at least one year, maybe more, I need to check). We need someone with a real interest in challenging fMRI data analysis problems for clinical application. The post-doc would be free to spend 50% of his time conduct his own line of research, benefiting from the stimulating environment at Neurospin. I spent one year in this specific position and I can testify that it is a difficult but rewarding job. The clinical application part of the research is slow moving but helps getting a good understanding of the important methods question. Having 50% of your time to develop your own line of research is a good way to transform these intuitions in purely methodological contributions. The stroke-oriented research would be mainly supervised by myself, as I know the dataset and resting-state data processing well, in collaboration with our clinical collaborators, as well as the original PI of the study, Andreas Kleinschmidt, now in Geneva. I haven't written a formal call for this position for lack of time. If you are interested, please contact me very quickly. We need to make a decision soon, and I am leaving for a long trip in a week (and crawling under work).
