About this role
The postdoctoral researcher will lead the development of computational methods for aligning cortical organisation across species using transcriptomic and anatomical data combined with modern machine-learning approaches. In particular, the postholder will work on approaches that learn mappings between mouse, marmoset, macaque, and human cortex, and enable the comparison of the macroscopic cortical organisation across species. This will be a key pillar of a larger UKRI-funded research programme developing anatomy-driven artificial intelligence methods for fundamental and translational neuroscience.
Working under the guidance of the Principal Investigator, the postholder will contribute to model development, multimodal data integration, analysis, writing and presentation. They will collaborate closely with other team members, local and international partners (e.g. Prof. Rogier Mars, University of Oxford; Prof. Nicola Palomero-Gallagher, Research Center Jülich, Germany; Prof. Fenna Krienen, Princeton University, USA), and will be supported in developing independence, publications, and career progression.
This role is well suited to a postdoctoral researcher seeking advanced training at the interface of computational neuroscience, neuroanatomy, and AI, with opportunities to build expertise towards future fellowships or faculty positions.
