We are hiring!
We are looking for an enthusiastic fellow to join us at UT Austin for a project funded by the Wellcome Trust. The project focuses on developing an International Data Governance Framework (IDGF) for brain & health data.
A postdoctoral position in neuroimaging is available in the Pestilli Lab at The University of Texas at Austin. The postdoc will collect and analyze magnetic resonance imaging datasets from multiple collaborative laboratories around the world. The project has a broad reach and could be a great base for developing further projects related to human neuroscience, neuroinformatics, computer science and machine learning depending on the interest of the applicant. The postdoc will work to select project appropriate datasets, access data, and conduct analyses pertaining to a variety of research interests. The postdoc will also guide the implementation of data workflow and document delivery. The postdoc will lead scientific publications generated during the project that will demonstrate the feasibility of the IDGF.
A few papers relevant to the project are below:
