About this position

The University of Oxford’s Department of Psychiatry is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a brain analytics and computing project based at the Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing in Oxford. The role is connected to a Wellcome Trust grant held by Dr. Luppi and sits within the Department’s internationally recognised research environment at Warneford Hospital.

The researcher will lead delivery of project work packages and manage their own academic research and related administrative activities. The work includes coordinating multiple aspects of a research project, adapting existing methods, developing new research methodologies and materials, preparing and refining working theories, and analysing quantitative data from varied sources.

A major focus is the analysis of neuroscientific data, particularly functional MRI signals using information-theoretic approaches. The postdoctoral researcher will also design, train and analyse artificial and deep neural networks to model neural systems and cognitive processes. Experience involving functional MRI in patients with focal or traumatic brain lesions is relevant to the project.

The role also includes leading the project’s code and data-sharing strategy, using tools and platforms such as GitHub and Docker or Singularity. The researcher will work in a collaborative psychiatric and neuroscience setting with access to Oxford’s broader research community and an environment supported by major funders including the Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council and National Institute for Health and Care Research.

Funding details

This is an 18-month funded postdoctoral position. The salary is £40,178–£48,700 per annum. Benefits include a contributory pension scheme, 38 days of annual leave, childcare services, family leave schemes, cycle loan and travel schemes, social and sports clubs, and hybrid-working opportunities.

What's required

Applicants should hold or be close to completing a relevant PhD/DPhil in neuroscience or a closely related field, with relevant research experience. A first degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or Physics is required. Applicants must demonstrate specialist knowledge of information-theoretic analysis of functional MRI signals and of designing, training and analysing artificial/deep neural networks to model neural systems or cognitive processes, supported by relevant peer-reviewed publications or preprints. Experience researching functional MRI of patients with focal or traumatic brain lesions is desirable. The application requires a covering letter or supporting statement, CV and details of two referees.

How to apply

Apply online through the University of Oxford vacancy portal. Upload a covering letter or supporting statement, CV and details of two referees before 19 November 2026 at 12:00 UK time.
