VACANCIES: PhD and Postdoc Positions Available, March 2024.
Experienced Postdoctoral Fellow in Infant Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience
The Foundations of Cognition project is studying the emergence of cognition in infants, and how this is disrupted by brain injury. It has acquired functional MRI in a substantial cohort of 2-and 9-month-old infants (N=134), awake watching pictures and movies. The postholder will work with Professor Cusack and the team to use this rich dataset to characterise infant’s emerging cognition: critically evaluating the literature, developing a hypothesis, implementing the analysis, interpreting the results, and writing the manuscripts(s).
Full time, €50,540-€54,965 per annum, post ends June 2025.
Benefits include a pension contribution and PRSI social insurance.

Two Senior Postdoctoral Researchers in Deep Neural Networks for Medical Imaging
Brain development in infants and its disruption by preterm birth or perinatal injury, can be measured with functional MRI (fMRI). Unfortunately, infants move in the scanner and half the images are discarded, precluding clinical application. In recent years, deep neural networks (DNNs) have led to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and are finding growing application in biomedical imaging. DNNs have considerable potential to correct head motion in fMRI, as they can learn complex mappings, and exploit knowledge of brain structure. The postdoctoral researchers will develop DNNs to motion correct fMRI data.
Candidates must have expertise in at least one of the two following areas and must be willing to develop skills in the other:
