UvA - University of Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Are you looking for a scientist position with a strong interdisciplinary focus, and do you have a strong interest in cognitive neuroscience? The Integrative Model-based Cognitive Neuroscience (IMCN) Research Group in the Psychology Department is looking for a scientist candidate that will combine model-based fMRI, microscopy and image processing to create 3D reconstructions of the human brain.

What are you going to do

As part of the trajectory, you will carry out microscopy processing of whole human-brain specimens, digitization of the microscopy slices, subsequent image processing, and statistical modeling. Prior to microscopy processing ultra-high field MRI images will be acquired, and quantitative comparisons will be made across imaging modalities. You will work together with other researchers within the group, and other universities to map whole human-brain postmortem specimen with in-vivo MRI data. You will be hired via the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and collaborate with researchers at UvA and world-wide.

Your experience and profile

• A MSc in engineering, neuroscience or similar;
• A strong interest in image processing;
• Strong written and oral communication skills;
• Strong social skills and professional flexibility to work within a team of interdisciplinary researchers.
