The aim of the project is to investigate the brain disconnection at network level occurring during aging and dementia, and to disentangle the relevant vascular and metabolic components. The project is part of the NETFUN (Brain FUNctional NETwork studied by NMR) project, a collaboration between Enrico Fermi Centre and the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Center (CUBRIC) – School of Psychology – Cardiff University (UK). Available facilities include 3 3T scanners (2 in Rome, 1 in Cardiff) and full processing facilities. The ideal applicant has a solid MRI background, including a PhD in Physics, Mathematics, Engineering or Information Technology. Experience with analysis of functional and structural MRI data is highly desirable, as well as good knowledge of Matlab programming language. The postdoc fellow will work in a multidisciplinary group, with experience in dementia and in functional and structural MRI. The study will be mainly based in Rome (MARBILab, c/o Santa Lucia Foundation), with some work based in Cardiff. Thus, the applicant must be inclined to collaborate in different environments, and highly motivated. The post will be available from June, and is funded for 2 years. Salary is in the range of 25000 EUR/year (tax-exempt) Informal enquiries to Dr Federico Giove federico.giove(a)roma1.infn.it The official call will be published within June on http://www.centrofermi.it/index.php/grants/bandi , (Italian language), but interested people are expected to send a CV including publication list before the application to federico.giove(a)roma1.infn.it

YNiC seminar 23rd May - external speaker

by Rebecca E Millman

Dear Users This Thursday (YNiC open plan from 4.30 pm) there will be a presentation by Krish Singh from CUBRIC. The title of Krish's talk is "Non-invasive MEG measures of cortical oscillatory dynamics in health and disease". Abstract: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) allows the non-invasive localisation and characterisation of a range of cortical oscillatory phenomena, which are increasingly thought to reflect both local and network properties of the neural populations underpinning different aspects of perceptual and cognitive function. These studies reveal complex, task-specific and spatially localised effects, some of which appear to be co-localised with the BOLD-fMRI response to the same task. In this talk I shall explain some of the methodology behind these studies and how these human MEG signals compare with invasive recordings in both animals and humans. The main focus will be in looking at how individual differences in oscillatory parameters such as amplitude and frequency can be related to variations in perceptual/behavioural task performance and to individual differences in neurotransmitter concentrations. Finally I will talk about the relevance of these studies to clinical conditions such as Epilepsy and Schizophrenia. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided afterwards. Best wishes Rebecca -- Dr. Rebecca E. Millman York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park York YO10 5DG Email: rem(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Tel: 01904 435 5373

Fwd: 4 Year Post-doc investigating effects of early adversity

by Gary Green

*Senior Research Assistant/Research Fellow in Clinical Neuroscience* *Location: *Highfield Campus, University of Southampton, UK *Salary: *£27,854 to £34,223 Full-Time Fixed Term for 4 years *Closing Date: *Saturday 15 June 2013 *Reference: *239213JW */English & Romanian Adoptees Brain Imaging Study/* We are currently inviting applications for a post-doctoral Research Fellowship working on a unique MRC-funded study exploring the long-term effects of early institutional deprivation on the development of brain structure and function. The role will primarily involve working with young adults to collect and analyse structural and functional MRI data. You will also collect clinical and neurocognitive data using standardised measures/tasks and will work closely with the project supervisors to interpret and write up the results for publication, and prepare presentations for internal and external scientific meetings and reports to our funders. You will have excellent interpersonal skills and experience of giving presentations and preparing academic papers (and ideally grant applications).

However, further MRI analysis training will be provided. You will have a postgraduate degree in cognitive neuroscience, clinical neuroimaging, or a related subject. A PhD and experience of working with clinical populations would be highly advantageous. This post will be based in the Developmental Brain-Behaviour Laboratory (DBBL) at the University of Southampton, but you will work closely with colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in London. The post will involve significant travel between Southampton and London and you will be expected to work occasionally outside normal office hours and at weekends. The appointment will also require an enhanced DSB disclosure (similar to Criminal Record Bureau clearance). The post is tenable from 1st September 2013, or as soon as possible thereafter.
