As part of the trajectory, you will carry out microscopy processing of whole human-brain specimens, digitization of the microscopy slices, subsequent image processing, and statistical modeling. Prior to microscopy processing ultra-high field MRI images will be acquired, and quantitative comparisons will be made across imaging modalities. You will work together with other researchers within the group, and other universities to map whole human-brain postmortem specimen with in-vivo MRI data. You will be hired via the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and collaborate with researchers at UvA and world-wide.

• A MSc in engineering, neuroscience or similar;

• A strong interest in image processing;

• Strong written and oral communication skills;

• Strong social skills and professional flexibility to work within a team of interdisciplinary researchers.

The position concerns temporary employment of 18 hours per week for a period of 9 months. The initial employment is for three months.
