PhD Position - Multi-Modal Models of Human Brain Development, Function and Cognition

About this position

All. Researcher profile: First Stage Researcher (R1). Area of research: PHD Thesis Job description: PhD Position - Multi-Modal Models of Human Brain Development, Function and Cognition We are seeking a PhD student fellow to join the Multiscale Neurodevelopment team in the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine - Brain and Behaviour (INM-7). The Multiscale Neurodevelopment team studies the maturation of cortical architecture, connectivity and functional dynamics across early life. Using multiscale frameworks in combination with computational modelling, we aim to better understand cognitive maturation and psychiatric illness. Theis position involves in vivo MRI and EEG as well as post mortem brain samples and it is suitable for a researcher that aspires to work at the cutting edge of computational neuroscience. Your Job Generating growth models of human neurodevelopment, using unsupervised and supervised learning approaches Optimising leaning models to predict clinical phenotypes and cognitive maturation from brain development Working with a broad range of imaging modalities (e.g. structural, diffusion-weighted and functional MRI, intracranial EEG) Development of MRI analysis toolboxes Efficient production of high-quality scientific articles Close cooperation with an interdisciplinary team of neuroscientists, computer scientists and clinicians Your Profile Excellent university degree (Master) in neuroscience or a related field of study Extensive experience with programming (Pyt
