Research assistant, Montreal, Canada
Research Assistant – Software Developer/Application Specialist
MEG Unit - McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, Montreal Neurological Institute
McGill University (Montreal, Canada) The MEG Unit at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre at the MNI (McGill University) is looking to fill the position of a full-time Research Assistant. The position is available immediately and represents a great opportunity for a candidate to work in an outstanding scientific environment, where computational techniques meet electrophysiology, imaging physics, biophysical modelling and neuroscience.
The successful candidate will become a key core research staff member of the McConnell BIC. The Centre is a multidisciplinary hub for a broad community of basic science and clinical investigators and trainees, long recognized as an international leader in neuroimaging domains and analytical techniques. It is one of the largest academic brain imaging centres worldwide, with 16 principal investigators, over 80 toptier affiliated faculty, 24 core highly qualified personnel and 85 trainees. The PET/Cyclotron, the BIC features a complete portfolio of research-dedicated imaging instruments including 1.5T, 3T and 7T (installation in 2017) human MRI systems, a 7T smallbore animal MRI, Cyclotron/PET, SPECT, and highdensity EEG and MEG.
The mission consists specifically in the implementation and documentation of scientific methods and algorithms for advanced analysis and visualization of functional brain imaging data (for MEG, EEG, MRI, electrophysiology, NIRS) in the Brainstorm environment. The candidate’s role will be that of a code developer and application specialist of Brainstorm. Brainstorm is an open-source application dedicated to brain imaging with EEG, MEG, and other electrophysiology techniques (http://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm). So far, 13,300 researchers have downloaded Brainstorm and over 370 research journal articles refer to the application for data analysis. Another important mission consists in participating/organising the support and training of the user community through the Brainstorm online forum (user forum), and the organisation of training workshops delivered at academic institutions and international conferences (2 to 3 per year). Another important field of interest should be in developing the interaction of Brainstorm with large databases and computing clusters. The successful candidate will participate in research and project meetings at the MEG Unit and BIC, and interact with the greatest diversity of backgrounds from students, postdocs, and research staff.
Applicants should have a MSc in Computer Science or Electrical/Software Engineering or equivalent, with ideally 2 years post-graduate experience. Strong, proven programming experience with Matlab, Java and/or Python is required. Candidates with the strongest motivation to work and make a difference in a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment will be preferred. Salary range: $60,000 - $75,000 + benefits, commensurate to experience. Interested candidates shall send their CV + references to Prof Sylvain Baillet (sylvain.baillet@mcgill.ca) Deadline: June 30, 2016.

Position description
A Postdoctoral Research Associate position is available immediately to work on brain network analysis with a focus on integrating electrophysiological (MEG, EEG, ECoG, LFP) measures with MR imaging data. This position requires knowledge of the models and methods used for connectivity modeling, and the mathematical and software background to develop and implement novel approaches.
This is part of an NIH supported project to develop a multimodal brain connectivity atlas in collaboration with John Mosher and colleagues in the Epilepsy Center at the Cleveland Clinic. Data in the atlas will include spontaneous and evoked invasive and noninvasive electrophysiology and structural, resting and diffusion MRI. The position will also involve working with and contributing to the Brainstorm software.
Required qualifications
- PhD in Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, Neuroscience or related fields.
- Publications related to brain mapping.
- Programming experience, preferably including Matlab, Java, C, C++.
