Doctoral Position - Computational Neuroimaging
Aufgaben:
We are looking for a Doctoral Researcher in Computational Neuroimaging with focus on imaging genetics/transcriptomics to join the research group of Prof. Dr. Christine Ecker in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt. The successful applicant will be involved in research projects focusing on the integration of multi-modal human magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and genetic and/or transcriptomic data in the context of neurodevelopmental conditions. Conduct state-of-the-art research into the molecular underpinnings of aggression in mental health conditions and work as part of a DFG-funded study entitled 'Transcriptomic Subtyping of Imaging-derived phenotypes in autism' ( https://gepris-extern.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/551579379 ). Develop novel analytical frameworks for integrating Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data with genetic and/or transcriptomic data to enhance mechanism-based approaches for stratifying mental health conditions. Apply techniques to existing and newly acquired large-scale cohorts (clinical and non-clinical) to stratify mental health conditions for personalized medicine approaches. Dissemination of research findings in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Qualifikationen:
MSc in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, or Software Engineering Interest in big data analytics, and solid programming skills in R, C++, Python, and MATLAB. Knowledge in (i) machine learning, (ii) computational neuroimaging techniques and analysis using software packages like FreeSurfer, and/or (iii) expertise in conducting genetic analyses; e.g. Genome-Wise Association Studies (GWAS) and computation of polygenic risk scores (PRS) is desired though not essential . Due to legal regulations, valid proof of measles immunity / measles vaccination is required.
