Excellent computer programming (R, MATLAB, C) skills are essential for this project as is an
eagerness to continue to learn and develop these skills.
Any Additional Comments:
Prior experience with fMRI analysis tools such as SPM as well as an interest in neuroscience is a
bonus. The student should have an enthusiasm for research at the interface of computer
science, statistics and neuroscience and should be able to work well efficiently, independently
and diligently. The student should also possess excellent interpersonal, oral and written
communication skills and enjoy working as part of a diverse and energetic interdisciplinary
team.
