Hi all,
I wish everyone a successful new year 2017! Please pass along this job offer
for a postdoc position in my group in Bonn, Germany, to anyone interested and
feel free to contact me with any questions.
Thanks, Martin Reuter
The German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Bonn, Germany is
looking for a
Postdoc (f/m) in Computational Neuroimaging – Code 1427/2016/12
to join the research group of Prof. Martin Reuter.
Research projects will focus on developing image analysis, geometry processing
and machine learning methods for the automatic analysis of multi-modal human
MRI data, primarily with the aim to extract imaging biomarkers that can be
leveraged to both understand or diagnose neurodegenerative disease and to
provide a rational framework for targeting and monitoring therapy. Prof. Martin
Reuter, has recently joined the DZNE and simultaneously holds a faculty
position at the Martinos Center, MGH, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA with
an affiliation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology CSAIL. He is the
principal developer of the longitudinal processing framework of the software
package FreeSurfer, providing a suite of tools for the automated analysis of
brain MRI data to a world-wide user base. He and his team have, furthermore,
introduced novel approaches for neuroanatomical shape analysis and
computer-aided diagnosis and prognosis of neurodegenerative disease.
Your profile:
We seek a postdoctoral candidate with a Ph.D. in computer science, engineering
or mathematics with interest in image and geometry processing and with solid
programming skills in C/C++, Python, Matlab, R, shell scripting, GPU
(parallelization). The ideal candidate would have knowledge in computational
neuroimaging or biomedical engineering and considerable expertise in
methodological development of quantitative MRI analysis, e.g. registration,
segmentation, Bayesian modeling. Experience with big data analysis, cloud
computing and machine learning is an asset. Knowledge of state-of-the-art data
analyses techniques and neuroimaging software, including FreeSurfer, ANTS, FSL
is also appreciated. Highly motivated individuals with a record of productive
research are encouraged to apply. The working language is English.
We offer:
Integration into the computational imaging environment at DZNE and
interdisciplinary interactions with other institutes in Bonn and abroad (e.g.
Harvard Medical School).
Recently opened DZNE Research Facilities at Bonn Venusberg, hosting a state of
the art neuroimaging center with 7T and 3T MRI scanners, as well as
computational infrastructure supported by experienced IT specialists and
physicists.
A rich set of high-quality MR data and applied research questions through
collaboration with the Rhineland Study, a prospective deeply phenotyped
longitudinal cohort study with up to 30.000 participants.
A strong mentoring program for career development is provided.
An international environment characterized by a strong focus on science and
research.
Bonn, located at the Rhine river in proximity to the Cologne metropolitan area,
has a very high quality of life, with an international student, research and
business community.
The position is initially available for 2 years.
Employment, payment and social benefits are determined by the Public Sector
Collective Agreement (Tarifvertrag für den öffentlichen Dienst – TVöD Bund).
The DZNE is an equal opportunity employer and especially welcomes and
encourages disabled individuals to apply. You will obtain special skills and
knowledge for your scientific qualification during your activities at DZNE.
Interested candidates should send their full application documents in a single
PDF with subject CODE 1427/2016/12 via email to application(at)dzne.de .
Please include a CV, contact information of two referees, a brief statement
describing your personal qualifications and future research interests (up to 1
page), and a list of publications highlighting up to three most important ones.
Informal enquiries may be directed to Martin Reuter (martin.reuter(at)dzne.de
<>). Information about previous activities of the group can be found at
