The collaborative research center DFG-SFB-TR58 “Fear, Anxiety, Anxiety
Disorders”
(Münster, Würzburg, Hamburg) is opening a 3.5-year position for a PhD
student
(E13, starting January or later) to work on the genetic and neural
mechanisms of
context conditioning and extinction.
The project will be conducted at the Institute for Systems Neuroscience
in Hamburg
(supervisors: C. Büchel, R. Kalisch) in close collaboration with the
Unit for
Molecular Psychiatry in Würzburg (supervisor: A. Reif). Methods used are
fMRI,
psychophysiology, behavioral and personality testing, and genetics.
The position offers a great opportunity to work in a young, dynamic
research team
within one of Germany’s top systems neuroscience sites and to integrate into
the German fear and anxiety research community. The SFB and local graduate
programs offer attractive interdisciplinary training curricula.
Applicants should have a graduation in neuroscience, cognitive science,
psychology,
biology or related subjects.

*Postdoctoral Position in Egner Lab, Duke University*
We are seeking applications for a postdoctoral position in the Egner Lab
in the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University. We are
primarily studying the neural mechanisms of cognitive control and
predictive coding, using behavioral/modeling, fMRI and TMS approaches
(see http://sites.google.com/site/egnerlab/). The position is
NIH-funded, full-time, and starts in April 2013 (though later dates are
possible). The initial contract will be for 1 year but can be renewed
for up to three years. The successful candidate will have a strong
background and publication record in cognitive neuroscience, and
research interests that closely overlap with those of the lab.
Programming skills and expertise in fMRI are prerequisites; experience
with TMS and computational modeling are desirable. For inquiries and
applications (CV, research interest statement, and contact information
for three references), please email Tobias Egner at
tobias.egner(a)duke.edu <mailto:tobias.egner@duke.edu>.

Hi everyone,
With the upcoming project circus on Thursday, I think that it would be a
good idea to reschedule the next MEG research group meeting to
*Thursday, 13th at 12.00 in C003*. Andrew Quinn will tell us about his
progress on/source space simulations and its application to beamforming
and connectivity./
Hope to see you all on Thursday next week.
With best wishes,

Society in Science – The Branco Weiss Fellowship is a unique
postdoctoral programme. It provides young researchers around the world
with a generous personal research grant, giving them the freedom to work
on whatever topic they choose anywhere in the world, for a maximum
duration of five years.
This research fellowship is designed to support postdoctoral researchers
after their PhD and before their first faculty appointment. Those in
current postdoctoral positions are also eligible. It is expected that
fellows pursue unconventional projects in new areas of science,
engineering and social science fields involving societal aspects.
The Society in Science fellowship program was initiated and financed by
the Swiss entrepreneur Dr. Branco Weiss, who passed away in October
2010. The program belongs to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
Zurich (ETH).
Candidates that present an unusual research project that departs from
the mainstream and that have a remarkable track record will be
short-listed and could emerge from the annual selection process with an
award for the prestigious grant.
Simply apply with a groundbreaking research idea to secure financial
support for up to five years, working at an academic institution of your
choice anywhere in the world.
