About this position
King’s College London, a world-renowned university, is offering a postdoctoral researcher position in the Department of Psychosis Studies at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN). The IoPPN is a leading European center for mental health and neuroscience research, recognized for its impact on schizophrenia research and its contributions to national and international guidelines for psychosis care. The Department of Psychosis Studies is known for its inclusive ethos and its commitment to advancing the understanding and treatment of psychotic disorders through interdisciplinary research and global collaborations.
The successful candidate will join the Artificial Intelligence in Mental Health Lab, working closely with Dr Paris Alexandros Lalousis and Professor Nikolaos Koutsouleris. The role focuses on developing and validating predictive models using multimodal data, including neuroimaging (structural and functional MRI, spectroscopy, PET), omics (genomic, proteomic, cytokine markers), and digital phenotyping (ecological momentary assessments, passive sensing). The postholder will also contribute to building a predictive modelling platform for transdiagnostic comparisons, external validation, and integration into clinical trials.
Applicants should have a PhD in neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline, with expertise in machine learning, high-dimensional data analysis, and coding skills in MATLAB, Python, or R. The position is full-time (35 hours/week) and fixed-term until 30/06/2028. King’s College London values diversity and inclusion, encouraging applicants from all backgrounds.
Candidates should submit a CV and supporting statement addressing the essential criteria. Interviews are scheduled for 10 December 2025.
What's required
Applicants must have a PhD in neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline. They should have documented expertise and an established track record in machine learning applied to mental and/or neurological disorders, experience analyzing high-dimensional data such as neuroimaging or omics, and/or temporal data from smartphones or wearable devices. Excellent statistical and coding skills in MATLAB, Python, and/or R are required. Candidates should be highly motivated, have strong interdisciplinary interest in mental health, a track record of publishing in scientific journals, and experience in developing and implementing machine learning models, ideally in healthcare or mental health. Desirable criteria include experience with research grant applications, development of ML-based software, use of deep learning models, familiarity with coding/data management systems (e.g., GitHub, AWS, Azure), and ability to co-supervise and mentor students. Candidates who have submitted their thesis and are awaiting PhD award may be considered for a lower grade position.
