Dear all,
We are looking for a PhD student to work in an
interdisciplinary and internationally competitive environment at
Karolinska Institute, one of the top medical universities in the world
and the home for the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
We combine imaging
analyses, statistical tools, machine learning algorithms, biofluid
assays and genetics to study brain aging and the earliest signs of
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
This project will be
carried out under the supervision of Associate Professor Joana B.
Pereira and it will involve applying methods based on deep neural
networks to identify the anatomical and functional brain connections
that are most vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease and assess whether they
can predict cognitive decline. The student will also have the
opportunity to learn and apply computational models to identify the
mechanisms responsible for the damage of brain connections in AD.
Finally, the methods developed in this project in the second version of
our software (BRAPH;
MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be http://braph.org/), which will soon be released.
The ideal candidate should have the following qualities:
- Background in computational science, neuropsychology, physics, statistics, medicine or a related field.
- Experience in statistical techniques, programming, or scripting in MATLAB, Python and/or R.
- Experience or interest in structural MRI, DTI, fMRI or PET imaging analyses.
- Clinical or research experience with aging and/or neurodegenerative disorders are a merit.
- Previous scientific publications are also a merit.
The PhD studies will be performed for 4 years.
