The position is financed by an ERA-net Neuron grant. The successful candidate is expected to start in the position by December at the latest, but preferably earlier.
Description of project
The overall main aim of the ERA-net Neuron project TAI-MRI is to develop an improved method for classification of traumatic/diffuse axonal injury (TAI/DAI) to improve the current understanding of the acute clinical presentation of TBI and develop novel models for better predicting outcome in all severities of TBI.
See https://www.neuron-eranet.eu/_media/TAI-MRI.pdf for details
The main focus of the current position is evaluation of the added value of different diffusion metrics to the new TAI/DAI classification. Models will be developed using data from Trondheim TBI database and externally validated data from Cambridge, and finally in Center TBI data (https://www.center-tbi.eu/). Prospective clinical and MRI data are already collected, quality controlled and ready for analyses."
