Monash University has flagged the Research Fellow (Rossjohn Lab) job as unavailable. Let’s keep looking.
  • Based at our Melbourne, Burwood Campus
  • Full-time (lower fractions considered) and fixed term
  • Level A $96,607 + 17% Superannuation (pro rata, part time)

Why work with us?

At Deakin you will have access to benefits such as a variety of leave options including generous parental leave and the ability to purchase additional leave; flexible working arrangements to help manage your work-life balance; ongoing learning and development opportunities to grow your career; an inclusive and supportive culture and environment to work in, both online and on campus.

In this role, you will:

  • Organise and pre-process advanced multimodal neuroimaging data acquisition using fMRI, DTI, structural MRI and other modalities.
  • Analyse large datasets leveraging state-of-the-art image processing and advanced statistical analyses combining imaging, epigenetic and clinical data.
  • Working closely with an interdisciplinary team, collaborators and consortia, and mentoring junior researchers, graduate students, and interns.
  • Publishing research findings in journals and present at international conferences. Opportunity for first-author manuscripts will be encouraged.
  • Conduct other tasks to complete the goals of the funded research. 

To be successful, you’ll have:

  • PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychology, Neuroimaging, Neurosciences, Statistical Epigenetics or Genetics, Bioinformatics or a related field (with an emphasis on data or statistical analyses of human subject datasets).
  • Knowledgeable within one or more of the following subjects: Epigenetics, Genetics, Neuroimaging and Bioinformatics (knowledge on ADHD is not crucial). Whilst an understanding of ‘wet lab’ epigenetic/genetic processes would be valuable, the skills sought are focused on the bioinformatic analysis.
  • Experience with any of the following is highly desirable: Proficient in neuroimaging tools (e.g., FSL, SPM, Freesurfer, Mrtrix) and some familiarity with programming languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB, Unix), and computational analysis with epigenetic or genetic data (e.g. R scripting). Experience with integrating neuroimaging and epigenetics or genetics would be highly desired.
  • Demonstrated record of superb scientific writing skills, and strong publication record in relevant domains.
  • Ability to work independently and in a collaborative manner with a diverse group of scientists.

Here's how to apply: 

Please submit your updated resume, a short cover letter and responses to the Key Selection Criteria.

It is anticipated the position will be 1 FTE but lower fractions will also be considered.
