Position Summary

Dr. Jürgen Germann and Dr. Alexandre Boutet’s Neuroimaging and Brain Modelling Laboratory at the Krembil Research Institute, University Health Network, is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to lead a translational neuroimaging project focused on early diagnosis and disease progression modelling in Parkinson’s disease and related disorders.

The successful candidate will play a central role in developing MRI-based, machine learning-driven probability models for differential diagnosis using image-derived features. A key focus will be translating these models into a clinician-facing decision-support tool for real-world implementation. This includes building pipelines that take routine clinical MRI as input and generate patient-specific probabilistic diagnostic outputs to support clinical decision-making.

The position offers a unique opportunity to work at the interface of neuroimaging, machine learning, and clinical translation, with a strong focus on high-impact publications and the development of deployable clinical tools. The work will be conducted in a highly multidisciplinary environment, in close collaboration with Dr. Anthony Lang (Neurology; Director of the Movement Disorders Program).
