Yasser Iturria-Medina

The Montreal Neurological Institute (the Neuro) at McGill University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a data-driven project at the intersection of body–brain interactions, heart disease and neurodegeneration. The research will develop and apply machine-learning and counterfactual-analysis approaches to biological and contextual data. The work is designed to investigate relationships between bodily health and brain function, with applications to heart diseases and neurodegenerative conditions. The postdoctoral researcher will join a collaborative research environment involving multiple laboratories and research centres, with multi-lab and multi-centre collaborations across prestigious Canadian institutions. Supervision will be provided by Professor Yasser Iturria-Medina in the Neuroinformatics for Personalized Medicine lab and Professor Maiya R. Geddes in the Motivational Neuromedicine lab. The position suits a researcher interested in computational neuroscience, neuroinformatics, machine learning and clinically relevant brain–body research.
