Why work with us?
At Deakin you will have access to benefits such as a variety of leave options including generous parental leave and the ability to purchase additional leave; flexible working arrangements to help manage your work-life balance; ongoing learning and development opportunities to grow your career; an inclusive and supportive culture and environment to work in, both online and on campus.
In this role, you will:
- Organise and pre-process advanced multimodal neuroimaging data acquisition using fMRI, DTI, structural MRI and other modalities.
- Analyse large datasets leveraging state-of-the-art image processing and advanced statistical analyses combining imaging, epigenetic and clinical data.
- Working closely with an interdisciplinary team, collaborators and consortia, and mentoring junior researchers, graduate students, and interns.
- Publishing research findings in journals and present at international conferences. Opportunity for first-author manuscripts will be encouraged.
- Conduct other tasks to complete the goals of the funded research.

- Experience with any of the following is highly desirable: Proficient in neuroimaging tools (e.g., FSL, SPM, Freesurfer, Mrtrix) and some familiarity with programming languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB, Unix), and computational analysis with epigenetic or genetic data (e.g. R scripting). Experience with integrating neuroimaging and epigenetics or genetics would be highly desired.
- Demonstrated record of superb scientific writing skills, and strong publication record in relevant domains.
- Ability to work independently and in a collaborative manner with a diverse group of scientists.
