SUBMISSION DEADLINE: September 1, 2014
NIH and DHHS are Equal Opportunity Employers.
We are currently inviting applications for a postdoctoral research
position in the Max Planck Research Group for Neuroanatomy &
Connectivity. Our research investigates the organization of connectivity
in the human cerebral cortex using MRI. The research projects will
address the topological structure of cortical connectivity patterns and
their relationship to underlying cortical morphology. Specific topics
may range from graph theoretical approaches and describing network
structure to cortical developmental modeling and addressing data
visualization challenges. The duration of the position is flexible,
beginning with an initial period of two years.
Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) in neuroscience, computer
science, or a related discipline, with a strong background in data
analysis and programming. Previous experience in neuroscience and
working with brain imaging data is an advantage, but not a requirement.
Applicants should nonetheless have an outstanding scientific track
record with clear evidence of leadership and scholarly output in the
form of publications and other achievements. The position is primarily
devoted to research, with no formal teaching requirements, but ample
opportunity to mentor graduate students.
The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences offers a
collaborative, international research environment with English being the
language spoken in the lab. The Institute has a state-of-the-art
research infrastructure, including several 3T scanners and one 7T MRI
scanner, TMS/tDCS, EEG, MEG, etc, and substantial computing resources.
Applicants are requested to provide a cover letter describing their
qualifications and research interests, a curriculum vitae, and the
contact information of at least two personal references. This should be
sent as a single PDF file to personal(a)cbs.mpg.de with the subject
heading “PD NC 14”. Please submit applications by September 15th, 2014.
Starting date for the position is flexible, but ideally in the autumn of
2014. Salary is dependent on experience and based on standard
post-doctoral MPI stipends.
The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer, and
international applicants are encouraged to apply.

The Group of Psychiatric Neuroscience at the University of Bari 'Aldo
Moro' has an open position for a Postdoctoral fellow or Research Assistant.
The contract is initially for 1 year and can be renewed up to a total
length of 4 years. Applications should be sent before August 16th.
Expected starting date is October 2014. The call can be found at the

The lab is led by Prof. Alessandro Bertolino
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=bertolino+alessandro%5Bauth%5D>and
studies the imaging correlates of genetic variability, with a focus on
schizophrenia. We are currently setting up a unit of biostatistics and
data mining with the aim to investigate the biological basis of major
psychiatric disorders by integrating multimodal data (genetic
variations, gene expression, structural and functional MRI, and
neuropsychology).
The ideal candidate is a postdoctoral fellow experienced in data mining
and machine learning. PhD candidates in sight of their title are
encouraged to apply. Skills required for this position include
statistics and programming (preferably in R or Matlab). Experience with
network analysis, machine learning software, neuroimaging toolboxes, and
advanced statistics (e.g., bayesian statistics, model-free data mining,
etc) is a plus. Scientific writing and grant writing skills are also
definitely a plus.
We expect the successful candidate to be motivated and
research-oriented. It is equally important to have a team-working
attitude and a motivation to fit in the group. Knowledge of Italian is
not required, although it helps with everyday life.

Dear all,
just a quick reminder for the MEG research group meeting today, at
3.30pm in C108 (Department of Psychology).
Michael Simpson will tell us about 'The Difference Stability Index
(DSI): Resolving previously irreconcilable differences in your data'.
An analysis metric that provides some depth and stability to the
relationships in your MEG data which previously appeared to be only
superficial. This talk will help to orientate you to this metric, and
may adapt you to a new way of thinking about evoked response analyses.
Best,
Markus
