【2018-Feb-04】2 Post-doc position at QIMRB, Brisbane

Position1: Bayesian Computation

 Institution: 

QIMRB, Brisbane

布里斯班(英语:Brisbane)，或译布里斯本，是澳大利亚昆士兰州府城，位于澳大利亚本土的东北部，北缘阳光海岸， 南邻国际观光胜地黄金海岸市。大都会区人口215万余，是澳大利亚人口第三大都会，仅次于悉尼与墨尔本。布里斯班是一个高速发展的城市，其中布里斯班的技术四角区尤为著名，在国际上有着很大影响力。

Position: Bayesian Computation Research Fellow (3 years)

PI: 

Michael Breakspear

Lab: Systems Neuroscience Group (SNG) is an independent research team within QIMR Berghofer. The SNG is a multidisciplinary group who undertake innovative computational modelling and analysis of brain activity in health and disease.

Area/Direction：

This research fellow will develop new systems for model selection and model-based prediction, combining large data sets from patient neuroimaging and intracranial recordings with models of brain dynamics.

Responsibilities:

1. You will contribute to the design of methods for Bayesian inference on large data sets, to perform model selection, parameter estimation, data assimilation and prediction using forward models of brain dynamics.

2. Implement these methods on GPUs or high performance computing clusters, and collaborate in applying these to clinical and neuroscience research, including an application to diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy.

3. Perform innovative analyses of high-dimensional neurophysiological and neuroimaging data.

4. Contribute to experimental design and prepare manuscripts for related studies.

5. Participate in intra-mural group activities, including presentation at lab meetings and collaboration with other lab members and clinicians.

Must have skills:

The successful applicant will possess the following: PhD in mathematics, physics, statistics, bioengineering, computer sciences or related field; demonstrated ability to implement mathematical methods in code; and evidence of strong oral and written communication skills.

Preferred Skills:

Ideally candidates may also have a published track record in applying computational inference methods for example Sequential Monte Carlo, particle filters, MCMC, ensemble Kalman filters or variational Bayes; previous experience with GPU programming or high performance computing clusters; or expertise in time series analysis or signal processing.

Salary:

Salary range is AUD $81,395-$84,257 per annum, plus up to 15.75% superannuation, and attractive salary packaging. This is a full time three year appointment.

Closing date:  4 February 2018
