Walhovd and Anders M Fjell, with a staff of 25 full time positions, including researchers, several post docs and PhD candidates, engineers and full-time RAs, extensive supporting personnel and several affiliated international researchers. We have staff from seven different countries, and English is the language of the lab. The center has an interdisciplinary approach, with researchers from different fields such as psychology, genetics, neuroscience, physics, informatics, statistics and engineering. LCBC was in 2015, as one of five, appointed status as a “world leading” research group at the University of Oslo.

  • Automated and manual quality control of mainly MRI data
  • Develop new and maintain existing data processing pipelines
  • Data preprocessing and higher-level analyses
  • Contribute to implementation and testing of new processing procedures
  • Develop and maintain neuroimaging databases

We rely heavily on FreeSurfer and FSL for brain imaging analyses, and the center cooperates with the developers of these software packages. Our analysis pipelines use a combination of Python, R, and run on Linux/HPC.

The candidate is expected to work closely with other researchers at LCBC as well as with our international collaborators.
