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

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

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 -

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>,

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
