| The Centre for Functional Magnetic
Resonance Imaging of the Brain (FMRIB) seeks a graduate or
postdoctoral researcher/programmer to work with Professors
Mark Jenkinson and Stephen Smith in the FMRIB Analysis
Group. Employment would ideally start in November/December
2014, is fixed-term and funded by the European Research
Council for a period of 3 years in the first instance, as
part of the Developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP).
The dHCP is a collaboration between King’s College, FMRIB
and Imperial College and will chart the growth of
connections in the human brain, before (in utero) and
after birth in 1000 babies using diffusion and functional
MRI. The postholder will work on the “structural” aspects of connectome modelling, including the spatial modelling of cortical surfaces, as well as developing analysis pipelines (software development and scripting) for the overall analysis of the dHCP connectome image data. This will also involve porting connectome analysis pipelines from the US-based Human Connectome Project to the dHCP, and interacting with the structural image processing research and informatics that will be carried out at Imperial as part of the dHCP. Candidates should have skills in computer programming (ideally shell scripting, Matlab and C++), and ideally also experience with image analysis research/programming. For an outline of the lab's research interests and links to further information see Research/Analysis Group and FMRIB. For more dHCP information (including vacancies in the other dHCP groups) see DevelopingConnectome.org. The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 31 October 2014. |
