Postdoctoral Researcher in Transdiagnostic Translational Neuroscience

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <p></p><div>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.</div><br> <div>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.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>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.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>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.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>Please see the below 'Job Description' for further details on the responsibilities and selection criteria, as well as further information about the university and how to apply.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div><strong>The post is full time for a fixed term of 2 years in the first instance, to start 1st October or as soon as possible thereafter.</strong></div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div><strong>Only applications received before 12.00 midday on Friday 9th August will be considered.</strong></div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div><strong>Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.&#160;</strong></div><br> <div>&#160;</div> </div>
