Dear all,

Two positions are available @ Queensland Brain Institute.

*POSITION 1:* Postdoctoral Fellow Position in Neuroimaging and Brain Network Analysis at Queensland Brain Institute

The Neuroimaging and Brainnetome Laboratory of Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) and Centre for Advanced Imaging (CAI) at the University of Queensland, Australia, solicits applications for postdoctoral fellow positions in neuroimaging and brain network analysis in healthy and neuropsychiatric diseases. We are looking for an excellent and highly motivated candidate with a PhD degree in neuroimaging, physics, mathematics, computer science, neurobiology, experimental psychology or comparable background. Interest and/or previous experience in/with neuroscience, MRI methods, design and image analysis are a plus. Experience with the LINUX/UNIX operating system is a positive add on. The successful candidate will participate in the multidisciplinary project involves developing algorithms of neuroimage processing and brain network analysis and software and applying them to neurosychiatric diseases. The main focus of this project is twofold: (1) developing new algorithms for structural MRI, functional MRI, DTI, and resting state MRI; (2) the assessment of differences between psychiatric patients and healthy controls in brain functioning, anatomy, default mode and functional connectivity. The postdoctoral fellows will be jointly supervised by Professor Tianzi Jiang and other Professors (QBI) who are experts in neuroscience. As at 30 June 2014, an applicant must not have had more than five years full-time equivalent professional research experience since the award of a PhD. The current salary range for the award is on a four-level scale from A$71,528.60 – A$79,708.50 per annum. Commencing salaries are based strictly on the number of full years’ experience since receiving a doctorate. Salary scales are reviewed from time to time.

Please contact Professor Tianzi Jiang on tianzi.jiang@uq.edu.au for research plan.

The application deadline is *19 May 2014.*

*POSITION 2: * Postdoctoral Position in Imaging Genetics at Queensland Brain Institute

The Neuroimaging and Brainnetome Laboratory of Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) and Centre for Advanced Imaging (CAI) at the University of Queensland, Australia, solicits applications for postdoctoral fellow positions in imaging genetics of the human and mice. We are looking for an excellent and highly motivated candidate with a PhD degree in neurobiology, genetics, experimental psychology, and neuroimaging or comparable background. Interest and/or previous experience in/with neuroscience, animal MRI, design and image analysis as well as wet lab experience are a plus. The successful candidate will participate in the multidisciplinary project involves developing transgenic mice model of psychiatric and neurological diseases. The main focus of this project is to address how risky genes of schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease affect brain networks in the human and mice. The postdoctoral fellows will be jointly supervised by Professor Tianzi Jiang and other Professors (QBI) who are experts in neuroscience. As at 30 June 2014, an applicant must not have had more than five years full-time equivalent professional research experience since the award of a PhD. The current salary range for the award is on a four-level scale from A$71,528.60 – A$79,708.50 per annum. Commencing salaries are based strictly on the number of full years’ experience since receiving a doctorate. Salary scales are reviewed from time to time.
