Postdoc position available
The MEDISIP department at Ghent University (Belgium) is seeking to fill a postdoctoral researcher position in the area of connectivity. The fellow will join a large research project situated in the context of a university-wide multidisciplinary research partnership on integrative neuroscience of behavior control. The research track is led by Daniele Marinazzo (Data Analysis) in collaboration with Stefaan Vandenberghe (Medical image processing) and Wim Fias (Experimental psychology). The research project is focused on the effects of intervention (TMS or surgery) on connectivity derived from neuroimaging (EEG, fMRI) in animals, healthy controls and neurological patients.Applicants should have a Ph.D. related to neuroscience and a good background in image or signal processing.
The fellow is thus expected to have a strong background in experimentation, programming, data analysis, and the functioning of the human brain. Within the partnership access is provided to a human 3T MR system dedicated for neuroscience research, a small animal 7T MRI system and MR compatible TMS and EEG equipment. The fellowship will be open for two years and the starting date is flexible. Interested candidates should send a CV, motivation letter, and two (email) addresses of potential referees to daniele.marinazzo@ugent.be. The closing date for applications is December 31th 2011. Interviews with selected candidates will take place in the first half of January 2012.
