PONS-Early Career Award| Fudan-KCL Early Career Awards in Population
Neuroscience and Stratified Medicine (PONS-ECA) in Statistical Genomics and/
or Computational Neuroscience, Fudan and KCL
Location： Shanghai, China and London, UK
Salary： ￥300k ~400k/year (￡34k~￡44k / year)
Employment period： 4 years (2 years in Shanghai and 2 years in London)
Hours: Full Time
No. of Appointment: Up to two appointments
Department and Faculty: Centre for Population Neuroscience and Stratified
Medi-cine (PONS) at the Institute of Science and Technology for Brain-
inspired Intelli-gence (ISTBI) at Fudan University, Shanghai, P.R. China and
the Institute of Psychi-atry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’
s College London, UK.
Information about the PONS Early Career Award (ECA): The PONS-ECA is a
personal award for talented post-doctoral researchers to lead their own
research plans and establish their own research interest and team to make
the transition from post-doctoral researcher to independent investigator.
This fellowship scheme provides competitive salaries, allowing fellows
protected time to fully concentrate on their re-search, training and
development. Applicants are expected to take advantage of the full four
years’ funding available.
We are seeking talented, energetic and highly motivated individuals with a
track rec-ord of the highest standard in their respective fields and a very
good command of the English language. He/she is expected to have a strong
knowledge of statistical ge-nomics and/or computational neurosciences,
expertise in at least one major program-ming language (e.g. R, Matlab and
Python), a deep familiarity with the application of statistical techniques
to biological data and be experienced in several, but not all of the methods
required in this programme.
The award aims at applying and developing novel (multimodal) genomic and
compu-tational neuroscience methodology to identify and characterise brain
structural and functional networks for mechanistic characterisation and
stratification of behaviour and mental disorders. The successful candidate
will develop a research programme developing comprehensive computational
models to describe and explain human be-haviours and mental disorders based
on multimodal -omics information, such as ge-nomics, epigenomics,
transcriptomics and/or computational neuroscience and neu-roimaging. The
research project will be based upon large scale neuroimaging genomic
datasets and innovative environmental characterisations, including mobile
Health and remote sensing satellite data. The research will involve
comparative analyses of big cross- sectional and longitudinal datasets in
Europe, US and China, as well as data from cohorts currently recruited in
Shanghai. The investigation of genomic and envi-ronmental determinants of
brain structure and functions related to psychopathology are of particular
interest. This research will be based on a series of recent discoveries and
methodological advances published by our group in top journals, including
Nature and Science.
PONS-ECA offers a unique opportunity to work with a worldwide network of
collab-orators and develop cutting-edge approaches in the rapidly growing
field of popula-tion neuroscience in one of the leading research
environments in Europe and the world.
Key Objectives:
>>>> Take a leading role in the analysis of multimodal –omics data (e.g.
genetics and MRI radiomics) and their relation to behavioural measures.
>>>> Apply statistical techniques to dimensionality reduction and prediction
using –omics, neuroimaging and environmental data
>>>> Supervising and carrying out genetic and/or neuroimaging analyses,
including gene expression, methylation, fMRI functional connectivity, data
pre-processing etc.
>>>> The publication and dissemination of data arising from this project
>>>> Attend and present at academic meetings and contribute to the
visibility of the project and its aims.
>>>> Work as a conscientious and committed member of the team in order to
achieve the aims of the project
>>>> Liaise with the administrative team for the support of the project
>>>> Undertake any other reasonable duties that may be relevant to the role
outline
>>>> Assist with the supervision of PhD and MSc candidates
Qualifications:
1) Researchers who will receive PhD soon or graduated within last five years;
2) Under 35 years old. Excellent candidates aged 35 to 38 may be considered;
3) Experience in analysing multimodal –omics (e.g. genetic, gene expression
, epigenetics) and/or Neuroimaging (fMRI, structure MRI and DTI) data;
4) Experience and/or interest in behavioural imaging genetics and
epigenetics.
5) Evidence of the ability to publish in high-impact scientific journals
6) Very good English language skills.
Benefits：
1) The initial employment period is 4 years with 2 years at the Institute of
Science and Technology for Brain-inspired Intelligence (STBI), Fudan
University, Shanghai and 2 years at Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and
Neuroscience (IoPPN), Kings College London.
2) Salary is ￥300k ~400k/year (￡34k~￡44k/year).
3) Additional research funding up to ￡23k provided to support researchers
with excellent ideas and independent capability.
4) Opportunities to top-up salaries up to ￡10k / year with grant from
Shanghai Government.
5) Opportunities to transfer to faculty position with start-up of ￡55k~￡
110k.
6) In accordance with the policies of Fudan University, assist children of
the candidates to apply for admission to kindergartens or primary school
affiliated to Fudan University.
Application Procedure：
Please send your application consisting of a personal statement and a CV in
English language, as well as contact information of referees and PDF of key
publications to [email protected] For an informal discussion to find out
more about the role please contact Prof Gunter Schumann: [email protected]
kcl.ac.uk or Dr Jia Tianye: [email protected]
The closing date for this application is 30 April 2020. Interviews are
scheduled to be held in middle May in Shanghai.
