Fwd: Postdoctoral Associate position in rt-fMRI at Yale
by Gary Green 22 Jun '14

22 Jun '14

The Department of Diagnostic Radiology at Yale University is looking for a Postdoctoral Associate to work on real-time fMRI neurofeedback studies.The primary project will be a study of real-time fMRI neurofeedback in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, funded by a five-year NIH grant that becomes active this summer. The methods used will be similar to those previously described (Hampson et al., JoVE, 2012; Scheinost et al., Translational Psychiatry, 2013), but will be in a patient population rather than in healthy subjects. The successful candidate will have the option to participate in a wide range of other functional neuroimaging projects, and to analyze existing data sets, including real-time fMRI neurofeedback data from patients with Tourette Syndrome. The position provides a great opportunity for training in both resting state functional connectivity analyses and real-time fMRI, as well as some of the more conventional functional imaging approaches. Familiarity with functional neuroimaging data analysis, a programming background, and experience with Linux are all assets, but not required. Critically, the candidate must have strong analytical/computational skills and be interested in human functional brain imaging. A Ph.D. in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, or a related field is required. The successful candidate will be expected to design and conduct complex analyses of functional neuroimaging data, to prepare manuscripts for publication, and to present the results at scientific meetings. Applicants should forward a CV, contact information for 3 references, and a statement of research interests to Michelle Hampson (michelle.hampson(a)yale.edu <mailto:michelle.hampson@yale.edu>). The ideal start date is September 1, 2014, but there is some flexibility. Salary will be based on the standard NIH payscale.

York Festival of Ideas
by Gary Green 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

19th of June 7pm Berrick Saul Building The Business-Like Brain Ed Bullmore, University of Cambridge Like a business, the brain network is designed to minimise cost and add value. Highly connected hub nodes of the network are biologically expensive but arguably worth it because they facilitate higher order mental functions. Join Neuroscientist, Ed Bullmore, as he discusses how these high-cost/high-value hubs may also be points of special vulnerability for many brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia. Please note that although admission is free, a ticket is required http://yorkfestivalofideas.com/2014/talks/business-like-brain/

It would be great to have as many of us there as possible. We are going to underspend our funding allocation for the first year anyway, so we can cover a reasonable spend per student. Any objections? Should we assign fixed amount per student (my preference)? If so, how much?

Fwd:MEG Post-Doc Position
by Gary Green 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Please find below an advertisement for a post-doctoral position in the Aston Brain Centre, Birmingham, UK. This is an excellent salary for an early-career researcher who meets the Marie-Curie requirements (see below). We are particularly looking for someone with experience in MEG data collection and analysis, and who is interested in becoming part of a vibrant EU-funded Initial Training Network which provides many opportunities for travel and networking. Prior experience with language research would be welcome but is not a requirement. To meet the Marie Curie requirements, you need to be within the first five years of your research career, and not resident in the UK for more than 12 months in the last 3 years. Please feel free to contact me or Joel Talcott (j.b.talcott(a)aston.ac.uk <mailto:j.b.talcott@aston.ac.uk>) with any enquiries. --- Aston University School of Life & Health Sciences Post-Doctoral Research Fellow - EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) 2-year fully funded Magnetoencephalographic investigations of language function in typical and atypical development Salary £53,765 per annum plus mobility allowance As part of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network, LanPercept, the Aston Brain Centre is seeking an experienced and creative researcher to undertake a 2-year Post-doctoral position to develop and refine protocols for mapping receptive and expressive language using magnetoencephalography (MEG). Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant Life Sciences or Physical Sciences discipline. The project will develop methodologies for functional studies of language localization, for use in children and in atypical populations (for e.g. epilepsy). Of special interest are MEG paradigms which apply a psycholinguistic approach to parsing receptive language and language production mechanisms, within a developmentally-appropriate and child-friendly context. The resulting paradigms will therefore inform both theoretical and clinical understanding of language development and of impairment. An availability to start the project for 1 September 2014 (exact date is negotiable) would be desirable. The EU-funded LanPercept network offers a unique interdisciplinary approach to the study of the relationship between language and perception with a focus on bridging the translational gap between basic and applied research. LanPercept is composed of 10 European partners, hosting a total of 11 PhD projects and 4 research fellows. Please visit our website http://www.aston.ac.uk/jobs for further information and to apply online. Initial enquiries should be directed to Prof. Joel Talcott [j.b.talcott(a)aston.ac.uk] or Dr. Caroline Witton [c.witton(a)astohn.ac.uk]. In addition to the online application form, applicants should submit a full CV, an application letter outlining your background, experience and interest in the topic, and example publication outputs, if relevant. Aston University is committed to disability equality and is a Positive about Disabled People Symbol User. If you do not have access to the internet, telephone (+44) 0121-204-4500 and leave your name and address quoting Reference number R140181. Closing date: 15 July 2014 Interview date: to be confirmed
