Big Data Institute, Li Ka Shing Centre for Health and Information Discovery, Old Road Campus, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7LF
Position: Statistician Join the Big Data Institute as a Statistician, and play a pivotal role in advancing the analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. Working under the guidance of Dr. Habib Ganjgahi, you will focus on developing computationally scalable methods for analyzing imaging data, designing simulation studies to validate models, and applying these techniques to real-world datasets, including the UK Biobank.
In this role, you will:
Develop a hierarchical Bayesian model that captures spatial dependencies and sparsity in fMRI data.
Extend threshold-free cluster enhancement methods to improve spatial specificity in voxel-wise analyses.
Design rigorous validation processes through simulation studies.
Collaborate with the research team to create reproducible analytical tools.
Troubleshoot technical challenges.
Contribute to the dissemination of results through publications and presentations.
To be successful in this role, you will hold a Master's degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Computing, or a related field. You will have demonstrable expertise in statistical methods and programming, along with experience drafting academic manuscripts and presenting research findings. Strong organisational and time-management skills are essential to meet project deadlines.
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online, and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online application. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience.
