This centre brings together a large group of researchers across the University of Cambridge and at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (MRC-CBSU) who aim to relate brain changes to cognitive changes over the adult lifespan (covering ages 18-88). The appointee will work with a unique population-representative sample of 700 adults on whom we have collected extensive cognitive and neural measures. A subset of these individuals will be run in a further set of fMRI and MEG studies designed to probe major cognitive functions. The Cam-CAN project will integrate across these data-sets using a variety of methods, relating changes in neural structure and function over the lifespan to changes in cognitive function and capacity. The role of the postholder will be to continue ongoing analyses of the 700 dataset, carry through the second stage fMRI and MEG studies, and play a key role in integrating the various Cam-CAN cognitive and imaging data-sets using multivariate and multimodal neuroimaging analysis methods. The appointee will be a cognitive neuroscientist with a strong background in imaging and imaging statistics, and cognitive and/or physiological ageing. Candidates should have, or be in the final stages of obtaining, a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging methods, applied statistics or cognitive ageing. Knowledge of and experience in advanced MEG imaging analyses, particularly connectivity analysis is essential, and it would be an advantage to have some experience of fMRI. Excellent statistical, computer programming (MATLAB and/or Python) and MEG analysis (SPM, Fieldtrip) skills are essential. Candidates should be careful, efficient, able to communicate effectively, and enjoy working as part of a diverse and energetic interdisciplinary team.

ECR Social Event
by Emma Holmes 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Dear all, As it's approaching the end of the term, it's almost time for another ECR social event! We've organised a karaoke night in the department next Thursday. So it's time to start practicing singing in front of the mirror! We're also planning to have some different types of snacks from around the world! It's a chance to show off the food from your native country (or a country of your choice) and also try some food from different countries. Bring something in (bought or handmade) for others to taste. It only needs to be something small. It should be a great evening. Hopefully we'll have some of the regular karaoke singers, and some that we haven't heard before too. Everyone's welcome! (Even if you just want to come along to listen to the songs). It'll take place in C003 at 5:30pm next Thursday (Week 10, 14th March). See you there! Emma On behalf of the ECR ____________________________________________ Emma Holmes PhD Student Room B001b, Department of Psychology, University of York, Heslington, York, YO10 5DD, UK.
