3T MRI images from T1 and diffusion sequences that have already been
collected as part of an imaging genetics project. The position is available
from July 1st.

Candidates should have a PhD in cognitive or social neuroscience, imaging
neuroscience, or a closely related field. Experience with the analysis of
neuroanatomical images using e.g. Voxel-based morphometry or cortical
thickness analysis (Freesurfer) is essential. Salary will range from a
minimum of £30, 122 to a maximum of £35, 938 and will depend on the
