The successful candidate will perform computational and mathematical studies to characterize the connectivity patterns (complex networks) extracted from an already acquired database of structural (diffusion MRI) and resting-state functional data (fMRI) of healthy subjects and epileptic patients undergoing presurgical evaluation. The ideal candidates have experience in the study of connectivity information from diffusion and/or functional MRI data. She/he must have a background in applied mathematics/physics and good computational skills (MATLAB, C++).
The fellow will become part of the FP7-European Project "multi-LAyer SpAtiotemporal Generalized NEtworks" (LASAGNE) focused on the study of spatio-temporal complex networks in terms of multi-graphs embedded in space and time. The Fellowships will be allocated to the Institut du Cerveau et de la Moëlle (ICM), at La Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, France.
The institutional position of the ARAMIS group allows a multidisciplinary approach for the study of brain connectivity. The group includes researchers with diverse expertises, ranging from connectivity analysis of neurophysiological data to clinical neurosciences, including statistical physics of graphs.
