Open positions
Masters
Currently there are no open positions for MCS students. However, outstanding candidates are encouraged to apply for a direct Ph.D., see more info below (You need to have peer-reviewed publications that are relevant to your project). If you are interested in the MACS program, send me your statement of interest and CV using the code 'IRTP-MACS' followed by your name as the email subject. Please look at the FCS webpage to learn more about the difference between MCS and MACS.
Doctorate
I am looking for a motivated and goal-driven individual who wants to pursue a Ph.D. in Computer Science (Neuroscience/Psychology/Psychiatry can be other options). The position is fully funded for four years at Dalhousie University in Halifax NS, Canada.
My lab sits at the intersection of Computer Science and Medicine therefore, all projects developed in my lab should contain both parts. The percentage of methodological and clinical research will depend on the specific project. Our projects aim to advance the current computational/methodological tools. I will encourage those that seek to understand the relationship between neuroimaging and clinical scores. You can take a look at the projects we are currently working on here.
If you are interested in this position you must prepare:
+ Statement of Interest. Max 300 words
that tells me why you are interested in my lab and how I can be helpful to achieve your goals. Avoid
the common phrases, those do not add value to your message, be honest and direct. Different students
have different reasons to start a Ph.D., all of them are valid. Your reason does not give you more or less
importance in the selection, but can help me to tailor your project in the right direction.
+ CV. Keep it clean, short and only include the relevant experience for this position. Publications,
GPA, and English scores are always a must.
+ Research Proposal. I want to see how you write. A simple and clear description of your
ideas will give you extra points.
Please read the Ph.D. application guide here.
You will find important information on how to write the proposal
and other things you should consider before contacting me or any other prospective supervisor.
The guide provides links to the university website and important dates (you must corroborate all
the information on the official websites, things change and I am not tracking all those possible changes).
After reading the official requirements, if you are a suitable candidate, write to my
Dalhousie email and include your statement of interest, CV, and research proposal using the code 'IRTP-PHD'
followed by your name in the subject line of your email.
