Offer Description

The goal of LCBC is to understand differences and changes in brain and cognition through the entire lifespan, as well as how brain and cognition can be optimized. LCBC is an active multidisciplinary research center, with a staff of about 25 full-time positions, including six faculty professors/researchers, several PostDocs and Ph.D. candidates, several programmers/engineers and full-time research assistants, extensive supporting personnel, and several affiliated international researchers. LCBC has excellent research infrastructure, including access to a 3T Siemens Prisma, PET and EEG, and neuropsychological and somatic test facilities. English is the inter-collegial language of the center. LCBC has obtained several large grants, including four grants from the European Research Council (ERC), as well as funding from the Research Council of Norway, the National Health Association, the Thon Foundation, and the University of Oslo. The group was in 2015 appointed status as “world-leading” as one of five at the University of Oslo, with special funding. More information can be found on www.oslobrains.no . The current position is funded by the Department of psychology, with funds for the project drawn from the world-leading grant from the Ministry of Education and the University of Oslo.

The successful candidate will work on quantification of differences and changes in the brain, using multimodal, longitudinal magnetic resonance images (MRIs), genetic information, self-reported mental health, and cognitive test scores from cohorts of individuals with known differences in biomedical risk at birth, including prenatal drug exposure. These individuals are followed over an extended period of development, now reaching well into adulthood. The data offer a unique opportunity to model heterogeneity in intercepts and slopes, of brain development, and link these to differences in biomedical risk at birth, cognition, mental health, and biomarker information. The work will require programming in languages such as Python, R or, Matlab and will involve the use of neuroimaging software such as FreeSurfer and others. An important focus of the candidate will also be scientific dissemination, i.e., writing and publication.
