<p class="MsoNormal">The MRC BNDU is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Neuroscientist who will analyse recordings acquired using wearable sensors from a large cohort of Parkinson’s disease patients using state-of-the art machine learning and signal processing
techniques, as part of a research project that is designed to elucidate biomarkers for disease progression.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This post offers exciting opportunities for creative neuroscientists/bioinformaticians who enjoy collaborative, multidisciplinary work. In addition to having a PhD (or M.D.) or equivalent qualification in a relevant discipline (either held
or submitted at the time of appointment), candidates should have a promising track record of original research in their field of research (neuroscience/bioinformatics). Candidates are also expected to have expertise in one or more of the following: 1) machine
learning; 2) analysis of neuroimaging / electrophysiological / behavioural data using standard signal processing techniques; 3) computational modelling of brain circuits. In addition, candidates should provide evidence of creative and critical thinking as
applied to the development and execution of a cohesive programme of research. A background of research in Parkinson’s disease is desirable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The post holder will be part of the Cagnan Group based at the MRC BNDU. The Group has a strong track record in selectively and dynamically modulating brain circuits in order to achieve symptom suppression. The proposed research will take
full advantage of the intellectual environment, capital equipment, technical expertise and excellent infrastructure in place at the MRC BNDU.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
