Dear all,
Please find enclose a 3 years Post Doctoral position that may be of interest.
Post Doc in data processing and databasing of large neuroimaging datasets.
The Neurofunctional Imaging Group (GIN) is a CNRS-CEA joint research team of the Neurodegenerative Disease Institute, UMR 5293 at Bordeaux University. The GIN is a multidisciplinary research team gathering scientists with training in instrumentation, cognitive neurosciences, signal processing and databasing. The GIN is a partnering member of the MULTI-LATERAL (Multi-level Integrative Analysis of Brain Lateralization for Language, http://flagera.eu/?q=FLAG-ERA-call-2015-projects http://flagera.eu/?q=FLAG-ERA-call-2015-projects) project funded by the FLAG-ERA European consortium set up to contribute to the construction of the Human Brain Project Flagship project. This partnership aims to identify the anatomical, functional and genetic determinants of brain lateralization for language functions.
Within this context, the GIN offers a 3 years Post Doc / Research Engineer position immediately available.
The core work of the Post Doc will to extract accurate structural and intrinsic connectivity asymmetry phenotypes across a range of large scale imaging datasets:
First, the post-doc will contribute to develop improved methods and dedicated software to reliably and automatically measure individual differences in lateralization for anatomy and resting state intrinsic connectivity.
In a second phase, the Post Doc will apply the methods in brain imaging datasets (about 10 000 subjects, including the BIL&GIN, BIG, I-Share and UK-biobank neuroimaging databases) having genetic data available, for the purposes of association and rare variant analysis followed by integrated genome-level analysis with transcriptomic (lateralized gene expression) dataand genomic gene-set analysis.
The applicant will benefit from the support of existing research in this topic area and preliminary works in the accurate definition of both structural and resting state asymmetry characterization together with data management of large neuroimaging cohorts.
The qualified applicant should have a PhD (or equivalent) in neuro-image analysis, computer science (signal and/or image processing) or related field and a strong background / experience in neuroimaging data processing. Applicants should have experience with tools for analysis of neuroimaging data (Freesurfer, SPM,…) and a relevant programming experience (Unix, C/C++ / python, MATLAB).
For further information, please contact Dr. Fabrice Crivello (fabrice.crivello@u-bordeaux.fr mailto:fabrice.crivello@u-bordeaux.fr). Salary is according to Bordeaux University salary grid depending on applicant experience. The position is limited for 3 years. Job location is in Bordeaux - France.
Interested candidates should send their applications including CV with publication list and recommendation letters (names and contact information) and a written summary of research interests to fabrice.crivello@u-bordeaux.fr mailto:fabrice.crivello@u-bordeaux.fr.
