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.
