Postdoc in multimodal MRI of infant brain and motor development

Are you interested in understanding how developing brain structure and connectivity shape motor outcomes in infants and toddlers? Do you enjoy working in collaborative, multidisciplinary teams, that bridge brain mapping, computational modeling, and developmental neuroscience? Then you may be the person we are looking for. The Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance (DRCMR) at Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre (Denmark) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in infant and early childhood multimodal MRI to join the NIBS-CP project. The NIBS-CP project (www.drcmr.dk/nibs-cp) is an ongoing longitudinal study following ~200 infants aged 3-24 months, including infants at risk for cerebral palsy and typically developing infants. Using advanced multimodal MRI and motor assessments at three time points (3-9, 12, and 24 months), the project aims to characterize early brain development, how brain structure and connectivity relate to developing motor function and improve the prediction of motor outcomes. Participant recruitment is nearing completion, and longitudinal data collection is well underway. You will join the Brain Maturation research group (www.drcmr.dk/brain-maturation) at DRCMR and the broader NIBS-CP team. The group works closely together across projects, and you will have ample opportunities to interact with researchers working on related developmental neuroimaging studies. We value openness, knowledge sharing, and a supportive research culture. Our work spans multiple pediatric cohorts, covering both typical and atypical development from birth to early adulthood. In this position, you will contribute to multimodal MRI analyses, longitudinal modeling of brain development and motor outcomes, scientific publications, and collaborative interdisciplinary research activities within the NIBS-CP project. We expect you to take scientific ownership of parts of the project, while also working closely with other members of the team.
