Job Title:MCIN Image Processing Specialist
Job Code: IPS201503
Application Deadline: 15 May 2015
Organization: McGill University
Group: McGill Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (MCIN)
Introduction:
The McGill Centre for Integrative Neuroscience (MCIN ;
http://www.mcin-cnim.ca <http://www.mcin-cnim.ca/>), directed by Dr.
Alan Evans at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI ;
http://www.mni.mcgill.ca <http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/>), is seeking
candidates for two positions in the area of multi-modal,
multi-dimensional image processing.
The MCIN is part of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC ;
http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca <http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/>), a major
brain mapping environment with access to various scanning facilities,
HPC platforms and data analytic pipelines. Research at MCIN is focused
on (i) structural and functional connectomics, (ii) multi-modal
neuroinformatics and high-performance computing (HPC), and (iii)
neuroimaging applications in neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration
research.
Candidates with a strong brain image processing background are invited
to apply for two positions:
1) Post-doctoral fellow: to work on image-processing challenges
associated with structural imaging in early neurodevelopment.
2) Research associate: to develop high-level image-processing solutions,
in both structural and functional domains, that have wide application.
The candidates are required to have a PhD in computer science,
engineering, applied physics or mathematics. The positions demand strong
programming skills in C, Perl, or Python. Prior experience in at least
one of the areas of image processing, digital signal processing,
computational modeling and statistics is essential. Preferably,
candidates will have experience in applying computational solutions to
current neuroscience research (such as distributed neuroimaging
analyses, fusion of genetics and different types of neuroimaging or
behavioural phenotypes, and expertise in visualization of multimodal
neuroscience data). The candidates are expected to work independently,
be team-oriented and participate in providing solutions for clinical and
basic neuroscience research, within the guidelines of the software
engineering department. The candidates are expected to write and publish
their work.
How to apply:
Please, forward a statement of research interests, your CV, names of
three references and a representative example of your publication or
software tools to <careers(a)mcin.cnim.ca <mailto:careers@mcin.cnim.ca>>.
Please, include in the subject line “*Job Code IPS201503*”.
The position is funded for 12 months after a three-month probation, with
possibility of extension. Salary is commensurate with experience, and
the employees are entitled to pension and insurance, according to McGill
University’s policies.
Direct hire only. Please, no agencies, no phone, no fax and no other
inquiries. We thank all applicants for their interest and wish to advise
that only those candidates selected for an interview will be
acknowledged and contacted. McGill University is an equal opportunity
employer.
