• Data management
• Data analysis

About You

We are currently looking for someone with a master's degree in neuroscience.

The applicant is expected to have a strong interest in humanities research within the neuroscience field.

The applicant must have good knowledge of advanced methods for fMRI data analysis.

Since you will be working in an international environment, very good knowledge of English and basic knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written, is required.
