Postdoctoral Research Associate position in deep learning at UNC Chapel Hill

A Postdoctoral Research Associate position is immediately open in the Neuroinformatics lab (dayanlab.web.unc.edu) at the Biomedical Research Imaging Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The position is open to accomplished and highly motivated candidates, with an interest in machine learning and clinical neuroscience. The lab focuses on fundamental questions relating to brain organization in neurodegenerative diseases, while aiming to develop methods and tools that could eventually be used in the clinic. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will develop diagnostic and prognostic deep learning models for Alzheimer’s disease using rich existing multimodal datasets. Ample training and career development opportunities will be provided, as well as opportunities to collaborate with other groups within and outside UNC.

• A recent (<2 years) doctoral degree in biomedical engineering, computer science, computational neuroscience, biomedical data science, physics or other related fields is required.
• Excellent quantitative background, experience in deep learning, relevant programming experience, and a track record of first-author publications in peer-reviewed journals are required.
• Interest and experience in clinical neuroscience, particularly in Alzheimer’s disease research, would be advantageous but is not required.
