PhD Student Position – Machine Learning for Predictive Multi-Modal Markers of Neuropsychiatric Syndromes

Apply before: January 31st, 2018
Institute: University of Freiburg (Switzerland)
Job specification: We invite applications for a 4-year, fully-funded PhD position at the Laboratory for Psychiatric Neuroscience and Psychotherapy of the University of Fribourg, with joint supervision at the Department of Radiology, Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) and the Advanced Clinical Imaging Technology group, Siemens Healthineers.

The project seeks to develop novel and reliable machine learning tools for clinical diagnosis of neuropsychiatric disorders, in particular psychosis, using ‘deep sampling’ with multimodal brain imaging data (structural, functional, and diffusion MRI, simultaneous near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) – electroencephalography (EEG)), biomarker data, and genetic data.
