Angular UI-Router - ng-init equivalent?

I am starting to shift controller syntax in my router code, as in the following:

url: '/myRoute',
config: {
    templateUrl: 'app/my.html',
    controller: 'MyController',
    controllerAs: 'vm',
    title: 'avengers'
}

However one thing I can not find to replace is the ng-init function, often I require a function on init to be called that will either retrieve data or in other cases just required to run so it may perform some arbitrary functions.

I know there is a 'resolve' function but is there something more like an ng-init where I can say, run this controller function on load/transition?
