Fwd:Postdoc position: fMRI of number processing at NeuroSpin, France

by Gary Green

Postdoc position: fMRI of number processing at NeuroSpin We are looking for a bright and motivated postdoc to join a research project related to the representation of number in the human brain which will use high-field / high-resolution functional imaging (at 7 Tesla). This position will be available within the INSERM Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit (www.unicog.org <http://www.unicog.org/>, directed by Stanislas Dehaene), situated at the NeuroSpin Center in the greater Paris area. The position is funded for 2 years within a 4-year project financed by the French National Research Agency (PI Evelyn Eger). The ideal candidate will come from a background of visual neuroscience, potentially including the processing of number. Previous experience in functional imaging is required (and would ideally include multivariate decoding and/or surface-based analysis), and good programming skills in either matlab or python will be a strong plus. Good communication skills in English (oral and written) are necessary. The intended starting date for the position is around July or September 2015. Formal applications should include a Curriculum Vitae, application letter with statement of research interests, and the names and contact information of two researchers who would be willing to provide a reference. Please send your application by email before 15^th December or address further questions to evelyn.eger(a)cea.fr <mailto:evelyn.eger@cea.fr>. Full contact information: Dr Evelyn Eger, INSERM U.992 Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit, CEA/Neurospin, Batiment 145, Point Courier 156, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, evelyn.eger(a)cea.fr <mailto:evelyn.eger@cea.fr>

Research topics include, but are not limited to the following areas: visual expertise, object and scene recognition, categorization and perceptual learning. The position is fully funded for two years. The successful candidate will hold a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, Neurobiology, Computer Science, or any other related discipline by the start date of the position. Strong background and familiarity with fMRI or EEG research is required. Experience in computer programming, especially with Matlab is highly encouraged and will be considered a strong advantage. Applicants should send their CV, a short statement of their research interests and contact information for two references to Dr. Assaf Harel at: assaf.harel(a)wright.edu <mailto:assaf.harel@wright.edu>.

Fwd: POST DOCTORAL POSITION at The Neurofunctional Imaging Group in Bordeaux

by Gary Green

POST DOCTORAL POSITION in BORDEAUX The Neurofunctional Imaging Group (GIN) is a CNRS-CEA joint research unit of the Bordeaux University (UMR 5296, dir. Bernard Mazoyer) and a core member of the TRAIL Laboratory of Excellence. The GIN is a multidisciplinary research unit gathering scientists with initial training in mathematics and instrumentation, cognitive neurosciences, signal processing and databasing. One objective of the current GIN research project is to develop new tools to characterize and describe the gray matter anatomical connectivity networks. Within this area we have a position for a *2 years Post Doc*. *Description of the position* Recent work on brain connectivity modeling revealed that the topographic organization of this connectivity is not limited to large-scale anatomical pathways generally observable in diffusion MRI, thus reinforcing the interest of studies focusing on the characterization of cortical structural connectivity and its variability. Therefore, the estimation of relevant grey matter connectomes strongly relies on the choice of an ad'hoc cerebral parcellisation. We propose a post doc project to first implement a probabilistic cortical atlas derived from cortical parcellisations defined individually to optimally extract cortical thickness and volume of each individual. The second aim of the post doc project is to compute cortical structural connectivity to quantify the inter-individual variability of brain organization together with the effects of specific factors such as gender, manual preference, functional lateralization or cognitive skills. The strength of the present project is that it will benefits from the already acquired BIL&GIN database composed of 453 healthy volunteers balanced for gender and handedness. Hence, the first probabilistic cortical atlas will be operated over a large sample, the 453 participants having been previously pre-processed. *Qualification and experience* The qualified applicant should have a PhD in neuro-image analysis, cognitive neuroscience, computer science or related field and a background in neuroimage processing. Applicants should have experience with existing tools for analysis of neuroimaging data (SPM, FSL, Freesurfer.) and a relevant programming experience (MATLAB). *For further information, please contact Dr. Fabrice Crivello (**fabrice.crivello(a)u-bordeaux2.fr <mailto:fabrice.crivello@u-bordeaux2.fr>**).* *Employment and payment are determined by Bordeaux University (2 400 € per month, net salary). Job location is* *in Bordeaux, France. Interested candidates should send their applications including CV with full publication list, the* *names and contact information and a summary of research interests to **fabrice.crivello(a)u-bordeaux2.fr <mailto:fabrice.crivello@u-bordeaux2.fr>**.* Dr. Fabrice CRIVELLO Groupe d'Imagerie Neurofonctionnelle UMR 5296 - CNRS CEA Université Bordeaux Université de Bordeaux 146, rue Léo Saignat CS 61292 33076 Bordeaux Cedex Mob : +33 618 064 753 Tel : +33 547 304 402 Fax : +33 547 304 394 www.gin.cnrs.fr <http://www.gin.cnrs.fr> See my publications : https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Fabrice_Crivello

Converging multidisciplinary approaches by collaborating laboratories at the University of Pennsylvania aim to provide a new understanding of the symptoms, pathophysiology and etiology of psychosis. The Fellow will help investigate how aberrations in brain development contribute to the development of psychopathology and impact cognition and emotion. The Fellow will take part in our ongoing large-scale study of neurodevelopmental genomics. Eligibility for a postdoctoral appointment requires an advanced degree (M.D., Ph.D. or equivalent) in a relevant discipline (neuroscience, psychology, engineering, statistics). The candidate must have substantial prior experience with multimodal neuroimaging data analysis, and have a record of productivity. Programming skills are essential, including fluency in matlab, bash, and at least one statistical package. An applicant must certify that he/she has received his/her degree before the appointment is processed and must be eligible for employment in the US (citizenship of appropriate visa). *CONTACT* Stace Moore University of Pennsylvania Department of Psychiatry - Neuropsychiatry Section 10 Gates Pavilion - HUP 3400 Spruce Street Philadelphia, PA 19104-4283 Phone: (215) 662-7119 Fax: (215) 662-7903 Email: stacem(a)upenn.edu <mailto:stacem@upenn.edu>
