Research project:
The purpose of the research project funded by ANR is to demonstrate the causal
links between structural and functional connectome alterations by using DTI and
rs-fMRI in mouse models of connectome alteration or stimulation. The structural
and functional connectome metrics generated for each individual will be used to
perform computational modeling of brain connectome using TVBM, in order to
generate predictions on the functional consequences of these alterations and to
examine them in vivo.
Required qualifications:
The ideal applicant should hold a Ph.D in a field related to MRI (Physics,
Biophysics, Biomedical Engineering, or Biology), have a strong background in
advanced MRI methods and brain anatomy, and experience in animal studies. A
significant hands-on experience with pre-clinical DTI and fMRI (acquisition and
post-processing) is required. An experience of preclinical rs-fMRI would be an
advantage.
Contact info and applications:
Applicants should send their CV and cover letter to Dr Angele Viola. The cover letter should include a statement of
career goals and research interests, and contact information of 3 references.
