Postdoctoral Researcher in Transdiagnostic Translational Neuroscience

The post holder will be a member of a research group that aims to use between-
species neuroimaging to improve the translation from preclinical to clinical
neuroscience. The post holder will have responsibility for carrying out
research using large-scale magnetic resonance = imaging (MRI)-based dataset of
human patient data to develop transdiagnostic markers of disease with the goal
of using these for between-species translational neuroscience. The post holder
will also provide guidance to junior members of the research group including
research assistants, PhD students, and/or project volunteers. The post holder
will report to the head of the lab, Prof Rogier Mars.



Some of your responsibilities will include managing own academic research and
administrative activities, this involves small scale project management, to
co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. As well as devising
and implementing research strategies for large transdiagnostic neuroimaging
datasets, including identifying and designing appropriate methods of research;
collating and analysing a range of data from different sources; and
establishing new methods or models for research, setting the context for
research.





It is essential that you hold a relevant PhD/Dphil, together with relevant
experience and have experience in analysing human neuroimaging data, including
two or more of the following: resting state fMRI, qMRI, diffusion MRI, and
spatial transcriptomic data.





It is desirable that you have experience working with clinical MRI data, a
proven record of open sciences, including experience with formats for data
sharing such as BIDS and a record of engaging with industrial partners,
especially in pharmacological and healthcare sectors.
