Postdoctoral Researcher

We have an exciting new opportunity for a Postdoctoral Researcher to carry out research investigating cortical organisation using MRI datasets. The project aims to develop and test new approaches to characterising the relationship between cortical structure and the arrangement of higher-order cognitive functions. The primary analytic approach will characterise features derived from cortical geometry. Applicants should be proficient in MRI data analysis and developing novel analytic tools.

 

Specifically, this post holder will conduct two studies based on openly available data resources. The first will investigate covariation between cognitive measures and cortical geometry using a large-scale human MRI dataset. The second study will take a comparative neuroanatomy approach to investigate the link between cortical geometry and behaviour across mammalian evolution.

 

This position is embedded within the European Research Council (ERC)-funded project ‘Cortical gradients of functional integration’. It is split between The Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (WIN) at the University of Oxford, where this position is based, and the Integrative Neuroscience and Cognition Center (INCC) at the University of Paris. The post holder will have the opportunity to work across both groups and benefit from shared resources.
