Postdoctoral Fellow-MSH-21015-025
About The Position
Neuromodulation therapies (DBS, TMS, LIFU) are promising treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders, thought to work by modulating local neural activity and downstream connected circuits. This project aims to characterize multimodal network features associated with neuromodulation targets and imaging biomarkers to select optimal candidates, track brain remodeling, provide precise target locations, and predict long-term clinical outcomes. The role involves multimodal image preprocessing for biomarker identification, establishing image-guided neuromodulation targeting, collaborating with clinicians for research support, and applying machine learning to characterize biomarkers and predict targets, circuits, and outcomes.
Requirements
- Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience, Bio & Brain Science, Data Science, Computer Science, Computer Engineering
- Excellent coding skills (Python, Matlab, Shell script)
- Handle multimodal image data processing (i.e. FSL, AFNI, MRTRIX, FREESURFER)
- Structural and functional image data processing and analysis
- Strong knowledge of image statistical analysis
- Strong knowledge of machine learning approaches
- Strong communication skills and a strong interest in neuromodulation research
Nice To Haves
- Strong experience in functional and structural MRI image processing
- Strong experience in machine learning-based image analysis
- Familiarity with image processing software
