Dear Freesurfers,
The Laboratory of Functional Neuroscience at the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Cell Biology, University Pablo de Olavide, Seville (Spain), invites applications for two full-time PhD positions to work in neuroimaging (structural and functional) of healthy and pathological aging.
Our interests are focused on the development of novel analysis procedures for the advanced analysis of cerebral white and grey matter anatomy and pathology, and the translation of these techniques in the study of healthy aging and Alzheimer's disease. Candidates will take a lead role in the analysis of structural and diffusion tensor MRI studies, as well as integrating this information with PET and cortical neurophysiology. This will be possible thanks to an ongoing longitudinal study that involves healthy elderly, mild cognitive impairment, and mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease patients.
Applicants should have a background in MRI-PET analysis techniques (Freesurfer, FSL, SPM, etc.), computer programming and statistical methods. Knowledge of Matlab is strongly preferred. Additional skills such as manual tracing methods of brain structures will be positively considered. Interest in clinical neuroscience and cognitive function would be also appreciated. Positions are funded for 2 years, available immediately, and have the option of extension.
To apply please email a detailed CV to Dr. Jose L. Cantero, e-mail: jlcanlor@upo.es Two letters of recommendations will be required during the selection process.
Best, Jose L. Cantero
