We are interested in the large-scale brain structural and functional networks in healthy developing and aging brain and symptoms-related changes in diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders and psychosis. Statistical, computational, and machine learning methods are developed to analyze and fuse multimodal neuroimaging data. By integrating longitudinal behavior, neuroimaging, and genotype data, our long-term goal is to investigate the interactions among brain network dynamics, behavior, diseases, and genotypes to develop non-invasive biomarkers for early detection, differential diagnosis, progression monitoring, and treatment design.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Key attractions are access to a high-performance computing cluster, two 3T Prisma MR scanner and a MR compatible digital EEG system as well as collaboration opportunities with an excellent network of domestic and international scientists and doctors. Appointments will be made on a two-year contract basis in the first instance, with the possibility of extension. Salary and benefits will depend on qualifications and work experience. Long-term commitment is encouraged with mutual satisfaction.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><b>Purpose of the post</b></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The Research Assistant (RA) will work closely with the Principal Investigators, team/lab members, users, and collaborators to ensure successful imaging operations, safety, and completion of research projects (including neuroimaging experiments), smooth operation of computing and neuroimaging/autonomic equipment, and efficient management of neuroimaging database.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Main Duties and Responsibilities</strong></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The research assistant will support the effort in conducting cutting-edge neuroscience and machine learning research and development.
