Postdoctoral Fellow in Multifactorial Brain Computational Modeling at Montreal Neurological
Institute. We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral student, for joining the
Neuroinformatics for Personalized Medicine lab (NeuroPM) at MNI (McGill University, Montreal,
Canada). The postdoc will be under the supervision of Prof. Yasser Iturria-Medina, and will be expected
to collaborate with multiple associated groups (e.g. Alan C. Evans’s and Vladimir Hachinski’s groups). The
project, extendable at least for two years, includes the modeling of direct multifactorial brain
interactions, intra-brain network spreading of aberrant effects and identification of potential
therapeutic signals for multiple disorders (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia,
schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis).
The NeuroPM lab is affiliated with the Healthy brain for Healthy Lives
involving computationally intensive and interdisciplinary research on the brain. The MNI, the largest
training centre for brain research in Canada, is an internationally renowned institution, characterized by
the integration of research and patient care. The interested candidates should have a solid background
in mathematical and computational modeling, and advanced programming skills in Matlab. Experience
in brain imaging will be an asset. The selected candidate will be expected to start around September 1st,
2018.
