Fwd: PhD position @ Heidelberg University, Germany
by Gary Green 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

The “Cognitive Neuropsychiatry” working group at the Department of General Psychiatry, University of Heidelberg, Germany offers a half-time**PhD-position in the field of neuropsychology and functional neuroimaging. The project is funded by the German Research Council (DFG) and will investigate neural network correlates of verbal auditory hallucinations (“hearing voices”) in patients with schizophrenia. A special focus is set on detailed phenomenology combined with neuropsychology and multimodal network characterization using fMRI. The successful candidate is highly motivated, shows a strong interest in psychiatric neuroscience and neuroimaging and holds a diploma/master in psychology, biology, neuroscience, or an equivalent field. Ideally, the applicant has relevant prior knowledge of functional and/or structural neuroimaging methods (e.g. fMRI data acquisition, processing and analysis) and is familiar with at least one MRI data analysis software package. Experience with basic statistical software packages is a requirement, and prior experience in experimental psychology and additional programming skills (e.g. Matlab) are advantageous. As direct study participant contact is an integral part of the research project, an excellent command of the German language is required. The position is available from *November 2013* onwards for 3 years. Salary is according to German federal regulations (TV-L 13/2).**Reviewing of applications will start immediately, and applications will be considered until the position has been filled. Please send an email enclosing a brief letter of motivation, CV and contact details of two personal references. Please submit your application to: *christian.wolf(a)med.uni-heidelberg.de*

Fwd: Postdoctoral fellowship in model-based fMRI of psychiatric disorders
by Gary Green 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

*Postdoctoral fellowship in model-based fMRI of psychiatric disorders* The lab of Prof. Tiago V. Maia is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to conduct research on model-based fMRI of psychiatric disorders. The lab is located in the School of Medicine of the University of Lisbon (Portugal). There may also be opportunities to spend time at the Department of Psychiatry of Columbia University (USA), where Prof. Maia also has a faculty appointment. Research in the lab focuses on using fMRI, neurocomputational models, and behavioral experimentation to understand the neural bases of cognition and emotion and the disruption of these processes in psychiatric disorders. Additional information, including a list of publications, is available on Prof. Maia's web page: http://childpsych.columbia.edu/brainimaging/CV_maia.html Talented candidates from any background will be considered, but preference will be given to candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas: fMRI, computational neuroscience, and/or behavioral experimentation. Funding is available immediately for a project investigating reinforcement learning in Tourette syndrome using a combination of computational modeling and fMRI ('model-based fMRI'). The successful candidate would also have opportunities to work on other projects. Candidates should send a CV and a letter describing their research interests to MaiaT(a)nyspi.columbia.edu. Reference letters are preferred but optional at this stage.

Fwd: Senior Research Associate (at the University of Cambridge)
by Gary Green 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

The University of Cambridge, Department of Clinical Neurosciences are looking to recruit a senior research associate* to join the Stroke Research Team. You will play a central role in establishing and developing a major programme of stroke MRI research at Cambridge which focuses particularly on the imaging of patients with ischaemic white matter disease. You will be integrally involved setting up a number of new MRI projects, and also will have access to large existing multimodal MRI datasets which provide an excellent resource for developing novel image analysis techniques and correlating MRI markers with cognitive and clinical parameters. In addition to supervising clinical fellows, other staff involved with image analysis and PhD students, you will be encouraged to develop your own areas of research within stroke imaging and to apply for grants in these areas. You will have a PhD in a relevant area and experience in MR image analysis which ideally should involve brain imaging. Individuals with previous MR experience outside stroke are encouraged to apply and training can be given in the clinical aspects relating to stroke. *NB: The status of Senior Research Associate is awarded on the basis of individual merit and may be awarded to the successful candidate if approved by the Faculty Board of the Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine. For Further Particulars and details on how to apply please go to the University’s job opportunities page : : http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/1820/

The CMRR at the University of Minnesota seeks to recruit two additional postdoctoral associates to join the WashU-UMinn Human Connectome Project (HCP). The postholder will be actively working in the component of the HCP that focuses on optimization of data acquisitions and data analysis for resting state and task induced fMRI (R/T-fMRI), and diffusion imaging for high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI), with different subject populations. Responsibililties include: Data acquisition and optimization at 3T and 7T, testing, debugging and optimization at 3T and 7T, evaluating the performance with the RF coils that will be developed within the HCP project, provide feedback and evaluations on RF coil performance, and provide feedback regarding resting state and diffusion data pre-processing.

Resting state workshop 10th of October
by Jonny Smallwood 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hi Everyone As some of you may be aware we will hold a workshop at YNIC focused on resting fMRI on the 10th of October. The purpose of this workshop will be to familiarise attendees with the techniques and applications of resting state both as a powerful tool for realising brain structure and function, but also to consider its applications for understanding the mind. Everyone is welcome and there is no cost to attend. See attached flyer for further details. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Please forward to people you think maybe interested. Jonny
