Seeking Postdoctoral Fellow for Multiomics Investigations in Neurodegenerative 
Diseases



The Multiomics Investigation of Neurodegenerative Diseases Lab, directed by Dr. 
AmanPreet Badhwar, is looking for a postdoctoral fellow. The successful 
candidate will leverage extensive datasets (neuroimaging, molecular ‘omics’ and 
clinical/neuropsychological data)  to test hypotheses linking multiomics 
changes to age-related dementias, with an initial focus on Alzheimer’s disease 
and Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (VCID). The desired candidate is 
a motivated individual willing to work in a highly collaborative and 
multidisciplinary environment. The candidate is also expected to work closely 
with research teams with expertise in machine learning and AI, and she/he will 
have opportunities to build on, and/or develop these skills.



Education and experience requirements

  *   Prior training in Neuroscience (age-related dementias a plus) or 
Biomedical Engineering

  *   Experience in structural MRI, resting-state functional MRI, brain 
connectivity

  *   Knowledge of Matlab and/or Python programing

  *   Expertise in statistics (SPSS, R, Nilearn/Nistats, or other)

  *   Team-oriented; excellent organizational, interpersonal and communication 
skills

  *   Experience in multivariate pattern analysis, computational modeling, 
and/or machine learning are all assets



Start duration and salary

The position is available beginning 2021 in the laboratory of Dr. AmanPreet 
Badhwar, located at the Centre de Recherche de l’Institut Universitaire de 
Gériatrie de Montréal (CRIUGM), University of Montreal, Montreal, Canada. 
Funding is available for 1 year, renewable, but selected candidates are 
expected to apply for external fellowships. Candidates must be a Canadian 
citizen/permanent resident or be eligible to work in Canada (after obtaining an
