Connectionists: Postdoc in data science and neuroengineering at the University of Washington, Seattle

[Ariel Rokem]

Jason Yeatman (http://depts.washington.edu/bdelab/), and Ariel Rokem (
http://arokem.org/) are seeking scientists with a PhD in neuroscience,
computer science, electrical engineering, statistics, psychology or related
fields, for a collaborative postdoctoral position at the intersection of
human neuroscience, data science and neuroengineering.

Suitable candidates will have the opportunity to apply for the WRF
postdoctoral fellowships in data science:

http://escience.washington.edu/get-involved/postdoctoral-fellowships

and/or in neuroengineering:

http://uwin.washington.edu/post-docs/apply-post-docs/

Fellows appointed through these programs will be provided with annual
salary support of $65,000 for up to two years and an additional stipend of
$25,000 over the total period of the appointment that can be used for
travel, equipment, software, undergraduate research assistants, or other
research costs.

The project focuses on the development of methods for analyzing multi-modal
MRI data, and the application of these methods to questions pertaining to
human brain development. The long-term goals of the project include
development and maintenance of software for the analysis of large openly
available datasets of human MRI, and the extraction of valuable information
about the biological basis of human cognitive abilities from these data.
This involves developing new algorithms for the analysis of diffusion MRI,
tools for harnessing cloud-computing to analyze these datasets at scale,
and interactive data visualizations (e.g., http://viz.afq-browser.org). The
postdoc would have the opportunity to work within a large and international
open-source development community (http://dipy.org), and would be
encouraged to develop a portfolio of open and reproducible science.

For inquiries please contact Prof. Yeatman (jyeatman at uw.edu) and Ariel
Rokem (arokem at uw.edu). We will both be available to meet with potential
candidates at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego.
