Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Applied and Computational Mathematics) to join School of Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Science.

We are recruiting for a talented and highly motivated post-doctoral fellow to join an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project on “New mathematical models for brain tissue microstructure imaging”. Diffusion MRI is a modern medical imaging method for neuroscientists and clinicians to non-invasively study the brain. However, the mechanism underlying diffusion MRI signal formation, due to the movement of water molecules in complex brain tissue, is still unclear. This project aims to develop the next generation mathematical framework to interpret and model diffusion MRI signals, enabling more sensitive and specific imaging markers for characterising brain tissue microstructure. The post-doctoral fellow will contribute to the development of novel mathematical models and computational methods for advanced diffusion MRI microstructure imaging.
