Fwd: Post-doctoral research position investigating brain connectivity
by Gary Green 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

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.

Reminder: MEG research group meeting
by Markus van Ackeren 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

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 -- Markus J. van Ackeren PhD Student Department of Psychology University of York YO10 5DD, UK Email: mjva500(a)york.ac.uk
