Fwd: [PhD offer in Systems Neuroscience
by Gary Green 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

The research group "Systems Neuroscience in Psychiatry"at the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim (Germany)offers *1 PhD-student position *in the field of functional neuroimaging in health and disease. Special focus is set on multimodal network characterization using fMRI, preferentially in combination with other techniques (e.g., structural MRI, EEG, TMS), during both challenge (e.g. behavioural task, pharmacological agent) and non-challenge (e.g. resting state) conditions. The successful applicant will join a multidisciplinary team trained in medicine, psychology, biology, and/or applied natural sciences. Our expertise includes the application of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods in healthy individuals and psychiatric patient populations, the combination of MRI methods with other neuroscience techniques (e.g., rTMS, EEG), the identification and characterization of environmental, genetic and epigenetic factors underlying functional network dynamics, and the investigation of these diagnostic markers for prognosis and therapy. For further information, see http://www.zi-mannheim.de/en/research/departments/psychiatrie/arbeitsgruppe…. The position is available from *October 2013* onwards for initially 2 years and includes an option for extension. Applications are considered until 30th of September, but reviewing of applications will start immediately. The detailed offer and further informationcan be found at http://www.zi-mannheim.de/fileadmin/user_upload/downloads/karriere/Stellena…. Best regards, Carolin Carolin Moessnang, M.Sc.

Fwd: Post-doc proposal: Charting the human brain with fMRI
by Gary Green 25 Aug '13

25 Aug '13

Dear NeuroImager, Please find [1]here a summary of a post-doctoral project related to the Strategic Human Brain Data subproject of the [2]Human Brain Project. Ideally, the successful candidate should start the post-doc on end 2013/early 2014. The research focus of this proposal is to build a functional atlas of the human brain: by repeatedly scanning a limited number of subjects with a large class of functional localizers (retinotopic, tonotopic, somatotopic, visual categories, space and number, language, social cognition, resting state) together with high-resolution anatomy and diffusion-weighted scans, we wish to accumulate spatially resolved functional information on this group of subjects. The resulting activation maps will provide an objective basis to inform the definition of brain regions, and compared to similar resources (human connectome project etc.). The uniqueness of the dataset will consist in the variety of cognitive functions tested. The post-doc will be in charge of setting a set of protocols up and running, take part to the set of acquisitions performed on Neuropsin 3T scanner at high resolution, analyse it with the help of the engineers and researchers of the Parietal team. He/she will be involved in the design choices for the initial steps of the project and in the ensuing meta-analyses and performance. The work will be carried out at Neurospin, Saclay, France, in close collaboration with the [3]unicog team. We offer a salary of 32 kE/year. The position is for two years. For more details, please contact [4]Bertrand Thirion. Please do circulate this announcement. Thank you in advance for your help. Best, Gael, relaying Bertrand Thirion References 1. https://team.inria.fr/parietal/files/2011/07/sujet_post_doc_hbp.pdf 2. http://www.humanbrainproject.eu/ 3. http://www.unicog.org/pm/pmwiki.php 4. mailto:bertrand.thirion@inria.fr
