Dear Colleagues Below is an invitation to attend the next MEGUK meeting. It will be held in Glasgow in January. As you can read, there will be slots for each MEG site to present their work and there will also be opportunities for poster presentations. They are keen that each site co-ordinates their own contributions. Although it says that I am the contact point, Michael Simpson michael.simpson(a)ynic.york.ac.uk is actually going to do the co-ordination. Thanks Michael. If you are going to attend, please can you contact Michael, as well as register as indicated below Gary ---------------------------- Dear all, the next MEG users UK meeting will be in Glasgow on the 29th (Saturday) and 30th (Sunday) of January 2011. We will have 1 hour oral presentations per MEG site (it is up to each site how many presentations they wish to fit into their 60 min) and to have an extensive poster session on Saturday evening (we can accommodate around 100 posters). Registration is now open (no fee, no costs). Simply click on the link below that will take you to a website where you please enter your name, your email address, and your affiliation. Your email will be automatically added to an alias (meguk2011(a)psy.gla.ac.uk <mailto:meguk2011@psy.gla.ac.uk>) which, eventually, will be used as the only means for disseminating information about the meeting, so please make sure that your email address is correct. link to registration: http://marc-web.psy.gla.ac.uk/MEGUK2011/ Please forward this email to everyone I have left out including my apologies.

[Fwd: Free NIHR Learning Events in Leeds, Huddersfield & York - November 2010]
by Gary Green 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Some of you might be thinking of applying for NIHR funding. The following seminars might be useful. At the lecture by the Director of the NIHR earlier this week it was pointed out that York is not that successful in obtaining particular types of NIHR funding and it was also pointed out that one reason was because patients were not involved as much as the NIHR would like. So the workshop on the RFPB programme might be particularly useful. ----------------------------------------- The NIHR Research Design Service for Yorkshire and the Humber offers a programme of learning events which are FREE to NHS researchers, and others working in partnership with the NHS within the Yorkshire and Humber region, who are developing an application to a suitable funding body, particularly Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) and all other NIHR research programmes. We will be offering the following events during November 2010 - PATIENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT IN RESEARCH DESIGN AND DEVELOPING GRANT APPLICATIONS Tuesday, 9 November 2010 1.30 pm - 4.15 pm UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS MAKING SUCCESSFUL APPLICATIONS TO THE RESEARCH FOR PATIENT BENEFIT (RFPB) PROGRAMME Wednesday, 17 November 2010 1 pm - 4 pm (please note that lunch is included and will start at 1 pm.

[Fwd: [SPM] Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pediatric Neuroimaging]
by Gary Green 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

FYI ----------------------- Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pediatric Neuroimaging University of Illinois at Chicago A postdoctoral position is available at the Institute for Juvenile Research and the Center for Cognitive Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago, to study brain function and develop brain models of functional connectivity in children and adolescents within our research program and Neuroscience and Treatment Center in pediatric psychiatric disorders. The position involves working with Dr. Mani Pavuluri, M.D. Ph.D. and her neuroimaging team on conducting fMRI studies and developing new neuroimaging methods to examine functional connectivity in relation to DTI, and genetics with regard to affect, cognition and sensori-motor processes in pediatric populations. We seek PhD candidates who have a strong background in fMRI and neuroscience. Experience with fMRI studies, and familiarity with AFNI, SPM, or FSL software are required. Excellent programming and statistical skills related to neuroimaging research, and a record of scientific publications are also required. The Center for Cognitive Medicine (http://ccm.psych.uic.edu), located within the UIC medical campus, is a state-of-the-art multidisciplinary clinical and academic center that focuses on investigating the neural bases of cognitive, affective and motor deficits, as well as behavioral pharmacology of various clinical disorders including pediatric bipolar disorder, mood disorders, ADHD, autism, schizophrenia and head injury populations. Our research program is a strong federally funded program with outstanding research opportunities and with direct access to pediatric psychiatric patients through our pediatric mood disorder clinics. We offer a competitive hiring package based on experience, with opportunities for career development beyond the post-doctoral appointment. The Center for Cognitive Medicine and the Institute for Juvenile Research are part of the UIC Medical School and are in close proximity to the MR Center, which houses two 1.5T clinical scanners, one research-devoted 3T scanner, as well as a new whole body 9.4T scanner for human brain imaging.// Interested candidates must contact Dr. M. Pavuluri or Dr. A. Passarotti via email: mpavuluri(a)psych.uic.edu <mailto:mpavuluri@psych.uic.edu>, apassarotti(a)psych.uic.edu. // This is a separate listing from the previous post. Thanks.

[Fwd: [SPM] Berlin: Six Postdocs in Deep Brain Stimulation and Recording]
by Gary Green 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

FYI --------------------------------- The clinical research group „Deep Brain Stimulation: Mechanisms, Physiology and Optimization of Therapy“ granted by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation), invites applications for the following job openings: - 6 postdoctoral researchers (E13/Ä1) - Lab manager (neurophysiology lab, EEG/ LFP; E13/Ä1) - Physician specialized in movement disorders (Ä2) (Reference ID: DM.171.10) We especially encourage applications of researchers in the disciplines of medicine, natural sciences, and psychology with a strong interest in investigating deep brain stimulation. Research will be performed in 9 innovative research projects based on animal models and neurophysiological and clinical methods in humans. Research focuses on neuroplasticity, neuronal oscillations, neurocomputation, emotional processing, linguistics, brain imaging, and deep brain stimulation in Morbus Parkinson, Dystonia and Depression. The research positions are within the teams of Professor Draganski, Professor Curio, Professor Haynes, PD Klostermann, Professor Kühn, Professor Kupsch at the Charité and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience. The job profile of the lab manager (postdoc) includes organizing and executing clinical- neurophysiological examinations of patients (EEG/LFP/TMS). There will also be opportunity to carry out own research projects. Depending on qualification, wage classification will be based on tariff part 13 according to regulations of TV- Charité, or the tariff part A1/Ä2 according to the TV-Ärzte Marburger Bund – Charité regulations, respectively. The positions are full-time, for 3 years (renewal is possible). The Charité– Universitätsmedizin Berlin bases its recruitment on personal qualification, ability, and professional accomplishment. In case of equal qualification, severely handicapped applicants will be considered with priority. We also aim to increase the percentage of female research staff and therefore explicitly encourage applications of women. Given equal qualification, female applicants will, within legal boundaries, receive priority consideration. Electronic applications should be directed to the principal investigators (KFO247(a)charite.de), indicating the reference ID DM.171.10, by November 15th 2010. An overview of the projects can be found here http://www.charite.de/forschung/projekte/deutsche_forschungsgemeinschaft_df… For further information please contact the head of the clinical research group, Professor Andrea Kühn (andrea.kuehn(a)charite.de).
