About this position

The Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest, affiliated with the University of Toronto, is offering a full-time, two-year postdoctoral fellowship in cognitive neuroscience, focusing on aging, neurodegeneration, and advanced neuroimaging techniques. The position is supervised by Professor Rosanna Olsen and involves collaboration with other scientists and trainees at the institute. The research centers on memory, executive functions of the brain, and the impact of diseases such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer's disease.

The successful candidate will conduct research on age and dementia-related neurodegeneration using structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with opportunities to work on large open-access databases like the Alzheimer's Disease Initiative (ADNI) and the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA). Responsibilities include experimental design, data collection and analysis, manuscript preparation, and harmonization of multi-site neuroimaging data.

Applicants must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree with a strong background in neuropsychological theory, statistical techniques for data analysis (e.g., R), and experience with MRI, EEG, or MEG data collection and analysis. Prior research in cognitive aging or dementia is highly desirable. The fellowship provides ample opportunities for manuscript preparation, conference attendance, and collaboration with other researchers in Toronto.

To apply, candidates should complete an Application Form, include a Cover Letter and CV, and submit to Human Resources, referencing Job Posting number #25-9389. The application deadline is February 1, 2025. For more details, visit the Baycrest careers page or contact the Rotman Research Institute.

Funding details

This is a temporary, full-time postdoctoral fellowship for two years, with 70 hours bi-weekly. The position is funded, but specific stipend amounts or tuition coverage are not mentioned.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree with an emphasis on neuropsychological theory. Experience in statistical techniques for data exploration and analysis software (e.g., R programming language) is required. Candidates should have experience with MRI, EEG, and/or MEG data collection and analysis, as well as research in cognitive aging and/or persons with dementia. Skills in experimental design, data collection, manuscript preparation, and harmonization of multi-site neuroimaging data are preferred.
