Fwd: Job Posting: Neuroscience Image Processing Scientist at Northwestern University

by Gary Green

The Department of Radiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is seeking a full-time Neuroscience Image Processing Scientist. Under the direction of the Medical Director of the Neurological Testing Center and the Director of Neuroimaging Research, the Neuroscience Image Processing Scientist will be responsible for coordinating imaging for use in epilepsy surgery and other functional neurosurgical procedures. Assignments will require close interaction with neuroradiology and neuroimaging collaborators to develop and implement more advanced functional imaging techniques. The primary effort will be focused on the development and implementation of clinical tools; however, there is dedicated time for independent research. Northwestern has very active clinical and research programs in Neurology and Neuroimaging. Imaging resources include 10 clinical and 4 dedicated research high field MRI systems, a PET/CT system, high density EEG and TMS. There is a very active and rapidly expanding Neurosurgery group with strong collaborations with BrainLab, and a supportive clinical environment for research. Candidates should have an MD or PhD in neuroscience, medicine, physics, psychology or a related field, and excellent communication skills. Experience with analysis of structural, diffusion, fMRI including resting state, MEG, PET, SPECT, and EEG data is required. The ability to co-register multi-modality diagnostic (EEG, MEG) studies with SISCOM, MRI, fMRI, DTI and PET studies is a must. Experience in planning stereo EEG electrode placement, surgical guidance, and proficiency with PRISM software, CURRY Neuroimaging Suite, and BrainLab surgical navigation systems, is desired. The position is funded for an initial two-year time period, with a high likelihood of long term employment. Salary is based on the NIH scale and benefits are highly competitive. Position is available on July 1, 2014, and applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Applicants should send curriculum vitae, references and cover letter to: Todd B.

The Center for Mind & Brain and the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Davis, invite applications for a tenure-track position in Mind & Brain Sciences. The appointment will be at the Assistant Professor level. Applications are sought from scholars who have strong and innovative research portfolios that focus on both the human mind and the human brain and that would complement the existing research at the Center for Mind & Brain (http://mindbrain.ucdavis.edu ). This could involve any state-of-the-art methodological approach (including but not limited to imaging, electrophysiology, stimulation, modeling, genetics, neuropsychology, behavior/psychophysics, and child/life-span development) and any content area that integrates mind and brain and is synergistic with existing research at the Center for Mind & Brain. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, statistics, biomedical engineering, or related field, or an M.D. with specialization in neurology, psychiatry, radiology, or a related field (must be completed by the first day of courses, September 24, 2015); a strong commitment to high quality teaching; and the potential to attract, or an established record of attracting, substantial extramural funding. The successful applicant will hold an academic appointment in the Department of Psychology and will contribute to the graduate and undergraduate teaching programs of that department (and will likely participate in the University-wide Neuroscience Graduate Program). The individual’s laboratory will be located at the Center for Mind and Brain, an interdisciplinary research center with 18 core faculty and a dedicated research staff. The Center offers an impressive array of modern research equipment, including several high-density EEG/ERP recording labs and a transcranial magnetic stimulation laboratory. Center faculty also have access to three research-dedicated MRI scanners at the Imaging Research Center (http://ucdirc.ucdavis.edu ), including a new 3T Siemens Skyra system and a BrainAmp MR system for simultaneous EEG/MRI. The cognitive neuroscience community is extremely well integrated across campus, with exceptionally collegial interactions and collaborations among members of the Center for Mind & Brain, the Center for Neuroscience, the MIND Institute, and the Imaging Research Center. We also have close ties with many academic departments and with the UC-Davis Medical Center. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests, representative reprints and/or preprints, and at least three letters of recommendation electronically at: https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/apply/JPF00384 The position will remain open until filled. Applications submitted by November 1st, 2014 will receive full initial consideration. For information, contact the Search Committee Chair, Dr. Steve Luck, sjluck(a)ucdavis.edu.

Fwd: 3 open PhD psoitions at the Neuroinformatics Lab at the Institute of Cognitive Science, University of Osnabrück, Germany [Reminder]

by Gary Green

3 open PhD psoitions at the Neuroinformatics Lab at the Institute of Cognitive Science, University of Osnabrück, Germany [Reminder] The Neuroinformatics Research Group (Prof. Dr. Gordon Pipa) of the Institute of Cognitive Science invites applications for 3 Research Assistants (PhD student level), (Salary level E 13 TV-L 50%) to be filled as soon as possible for a period of three years. The position allows for further scientific qualification. We invite applicants that are interested in research in Neuroinformatics, with an emphasis on dynamical systems, machine learning, virtual reality, computational linguistics and electrophysiology. Candidates will participate in a highly international PhD program on cognitive science (with >40 currently enrolled students) and interdisciplinary research projects that can involve cooperation with other disciplines of our institute. Candidates should be highly motivated to understand the structure of neuronal coding and neuronal representations. To study this, we involve different research strategies that range from the development of highly sophisticated data analysis strategies, to modelling of neuronal processes on the level of recurrent networks. The qualification profile of the candidates can range from a purely mathematical neuroscientist, a dynamical systems researcher to interdisciplinary candidates that share interest in performing experiments with the virtual reality combined with EEG and sophisticated machine learning-based analysis of recorded activity (at_http://ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de/en/ni/publications_you find an overview of recent research topics). Description of Responsibilities: The successful candidate will be involved in several research projects that range from BSc to MSc projects. The position also involves teaching Cognitive Science courses at BSc and MSc level (2 hours/week). Required Qualifications: Candidates are expected to have an excellent academic degree (Master/diploma). Applicants should have an excellent knowledge in the field of machine learning, i.e. generalized linear and state space models, kernel methods, reservoir computing and deep learning. Experience or a strong interest in the fields of complex systems, computational neurosciences, dynamical systems theory and the concepts to study these, i.e. bifurcation and stability analysis, and delay- coupled differential equations, measurements of complexity, are encouraged. Experience or a strong interest in experimental methods such as EEG, and virtual reality are highly welcome. In addition, a strong interest or experience in the estimation of causal interactions from time series is welcome. As a certified family-friendly institution, Osnabrück University is committed to furthering the compatibility between work/studies and family life. As an employer, Osnabrück University is particularly concerned with creating equal opportunities for women and men. Women with relevant qualifications are therefore strongly encouraged to apply for the position. Preference will be given to women with equal qualifications. Furthermore, qualified applicants with disabilities will be favored. Applications with the usual documentation, including two letters of recommendation, should be submitted by e-mail in a single PDF file to the Director of the Institute of Cognitive Science (_office(a)ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de_<mailto:office@ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de>) no later than 08.09.2014.
