the areas associated with the position (or related areas): neuroimaging,
neuropsychological assessment and neural and cognitive aging. The selected
candidate will be responsible for preparing and implementing projects and
experiments, and analyzing data on healthy and pathological neural and
cognitive aging using neuropsychological assessment and neuroimaging (namely
fMRI), and thus should be an expert in the use of these techniques on aging
issues. The candidate should be an expert (or have knowledge) on univariate and
multivariate analysis of fMRI (in aging), on neuropsychological assessment in
aging, and on the use of computational models or machine learning on these data.
The candidate should also have good command of the use of matlab, python or
other high-level programming language, and be proficient in Portuguese OR
English. This position will require designing experiments, collecting and
analyzing data associated with the project, preparing manuscripts for
publication, presenting results at national and international conferences and
the possible supervision of research assistants and students. <span></span></span></p>
