Development of new research lines with potential grant writing opportunities
This opportunity will allow you to:
Work in a world-class clinical research environment
Present findings at national/international conferences (e.g. Human Brain Mapping)
Publish in excellent journals across a number of fields (e.g. Neurosurgery, Neuroimaging, Neurology, Psychiatry), with 2-4 anticipated publications over 2-3 years
Actively engage and network with the large Toronto brain science community with one of the highest densities of neuroscientists in North America
The ideal candidate will possess the following characteristics:
A neuroimaging Ph.D. in neuroscience, psychology, medical physics, or related fields
Expertise in one or more of the following areas: Diffusion MR tractography and analysis, fMRI analysis, MR image acquisition
Strong scripting or programming expertise in one or more of the following languages/tools: Matlab, Python, R
Expertise in one or more neuroimaging software/tools with prior work in image analysis: 3D Slicer, MRtrix3, FreeSurfer, FSL, ANTs, SPM
Ability to work independently and deliver on schedule
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
