Job ID: 120034

Research Fellow in Computational Psychiatry

Position: Post-doctoral Position

Deadline: 15 September 2024

Employment Start Date: 1 December 2024

Contract Length: 2 years in the first instance

City: London

Country: United Kingdom

Institution: University College London

Department: Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry and Ageing Research

Description:

We are looking for a Research Fellow to undertake high quality research under the supervision of Professor Ray Dolan (UCL), in collaboration with Dr Marc Busche (UCL) and Professor Gareth Barnes (UCL). The research will focus on detecting early neural biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease using non-invasive neuroimaging techniques including MEG and Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPMs). The post is part of a recently announced quantum hub, Q-BIOMED, which aims to exploit advances in quantum sensors for diagnosis, funded by UKRI Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

This is a great opportunity for innovative input, including developing independent lines of research. You will be expected to exploit computational approaches to brain function (for example, through use of magnetoencephalography) and behaviour to leverage insights into how early phases of neurodegenerative disease impact upon cognition. The post offers opportunities for the successful candidate to innovate and develop novel lines of research.

The post is available from 01 December 2024 and is funded for two years in the first instance with the possibility of extension to three years.
