[Neuroimaging] Postdoctoral position: neuroinformatics and neuroscience of aging

[Ariel Rokem]

The Neuroinformatics Research & Development Group at the University of
Washington Department of Psychology and eScience Institute
<https://neuroinformatics.uw.edu/> conducts research on the biological
basis of brain function using computational tools that we develop and
maintain.

We are seeking to fill an open position for a postdoctoral researcher. The
successful candidate will have the opportunity to work together with a wide
network of collaborators on data from the Adult Changes in Thought Study
<https://www.kpwashingtonresearch.org/our-research/research-areas/aging-geriatrics/act-study-long-running-study-aging-examines-changes-kaiser-permanente-patients-over-time>.
The position is funded through a new 5-year NIH grant
<https://www.kpwashingtonresearch.org/news-and-events/recent-news/news-2021/new-nia-grant-over-55m-boost-ambitious-alzheimers-dementia-study>
.

The researcher will have an opportunity to ask a range of questions and
study unique datasets of multi-modal imaging data that include longitudinal
measurements of functional MRI, diffusion MRI, ante- and post-mortem
measurements of structural MRI, as well as histological measurements
conducted in the same individuals. These measurements are done in the
context of a wealth of measurements of cognition, health, lifestyle, and
environment. The position provides an opportunity to develop novel analysis
pipelines and statistical methods to process, merge, and interpret these
datasets in light of scientific questions about the brain basis of
cognitive aging, with a particular focus on Alzheimer’s disease.


*Required qualifications:*- PhD in Psychology, Neuroscience, or related
fields.
- Strong programming skills (preferably in the Python programming language)
- (Experience analyzing large, complex, and heterogeneous datasets is
preferred)

Interested applicants should send a cover letter detailing their research
interests, CV and the names of three references to arokem at uw.edu or apply
