- You hold a PhD degree in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering or a related field.
- You are an expert in functional and or structural MR data analysis.
- You are interested in computational modeling of multi-modal brain imaging data. Previous experience would be advantageous.
- You have an interest and/or experience in mechanism/pathophysiology related to child- and adolescent mental health and developmental neuropsychiatry.
- You enjoy being part of a multidisciplinary and international research team and integrating technological innovations into your neuroscience research.
- You have documented programming experience in e.g., Matlab or Python.
- As a person, you have a good team spirit, are innovative and constructive as well as possess research excitement.

The Research Unit at Child and Adolescent Mental Health Center (CAMHC)
We aim to improve child and adolescent mental health by the development of more effective identification, prevention, and treatment approaches, based on the multi-disciplinary and collaborative scientific study of causal processes underlying the development of disorder using cutting edge methods and testing contemporary theories. This approach requires a strong connection between research and evidence based assessment and treatment for the benefit of patients and their families.

Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance (DRCMR)
The DRCMR houses a multi-disciplinary and multi-national research team with approximately 75 researchers and students from app. 20 countries. We have in-house expertise in MR physics, data processing, pre-clinical research, motor control, cognitive neuroscience, interventional neurophysiology, brain stimulation, cohort studies, multimodal integration, neurology and psychiatry. The brain is an enormously complex organ and we therefore also work in partnership with colleagues from a large variety of scientific disciplines, both nationally and internationally, interacting with them on a daily basis.
