Postdoctoral position biomedical signal-processing and neuroimaging
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Computational Neuroscience Group of the Laboratory of Neuro- and
Psychophysiology, Medical School of the Catholic University of Leuven,
Belgium (http:\\simone.neuro.kuleuven.ac.be), invites applications for
a post-doctoral position in the area of biomedical signal-processing
and neuroimaging (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging).

Desired profile:

The highly qualified applicant should possess a Ph.D. degree in the
field of signal-processing, image-processing, statistics, or neural
networks. He/she should be familiar with Principal Components Analysis
(PCA), Independent Components Analysis (ICA), projection pursuit, or
related techniques, and have a profound knowledge of both uni-variate
statistics, such as t-tests, F-tests, and multi-variate statistics,
such as ANOVA, ANCOVA, and MANCOVA. Programming skills are an asset (C,
Matlab, ...), as is a familiarity with UNIX and PC platforms.

We offer:

1) A challenging research environment. The applicant will have access
to data from state-of-the-art Magnetic Resonance scanners and advanced
statistical tools such as SPM (Statistical Parameter Mapping) for
examining brain activity in both human and monkey.

2) An attractive income. The applicant will reveive 2150 USD or 2375
Euro per month, including a full social security coverage and housing.
This is comparable to the salary of an associate Professor at the
University. Housing will be taken care of by the host institute.

3) Free return airline ticket, ecomomy class (maximum 1350 USD or 1500
Euro) and a reimbursement of all costs incurred for shipping luggage to
Belgium (maximum 900 USD or 1000 Euro).

Send your CV (including the names and contact information of three
references), bibliography and how to contact you by mail/fax/email/phone
