PhD-fellowship within memory and task-based functional imaging (fMRI) ref 309730

Description

Offer Description: The goal of LCBC is to understand differences and changes in brain and cognition across the entire lifespan, and to identify how brain function and cognition can be optimized. LCBC is an active, multidisciplinary research center with around 25 full-time staff members, including four professors, two researchers, several postdoctoral fellows and PhD candidates, chief and senior data engineers, full- and part-time research assistants, administrative support, and several affiliated international researchers. The Ph.D. fellow will work primarily on existing experimental fMRI data collected in the project "Lifespan Memory Imaging", funded by the Research Council of Norway. Using longitudinal imaging of brain activity and task-based connectivity, the project aims to predict early who will show memory decline and who will maintain good function as they age. This unique longitudinal fMRI dataset of episodic memory includes encoding and retrieval scans at both baseline and follow-up 6-8 years later. The project also leverages multimodal imaging data, including DTI, PET and ASL, and longitudinal cognitive and neuropsychological assessments. The position will focus specifically on the fMRI data to identify neural mechanisms underlying individual differences in age-related memory changes.
