Dear All,
Daniel K, Andre and I (mostly Daniel K!) have updated three of the YNIC
ethics documents:
the guidance, the project proposal form (needed for first-time users of
YNIC facilities and external applicants) and the ethics application form.
Joe has put them on the website:
https://www.york.ac.uk/psychology/research/york-neuroimaging-centre/facilit…
and they are attached here too.
If you've started an old version and would prefer to continue with it, no
problem! If there are any problems, please let me know.
Best wishes,
Fiona
Hello All,
This looks like a great opportunity.
Best wishes
Tony

Dear all,
I hope that this email finds you well. I just started my own lab on
September 1st. The institute helped me to find a very good lab manager, who
has already helped me a lot. Things went smoothly at this point. The next
step is to find scientists, which can be the most difficult part. I have
no ideas on what would be a good strategy to find a good postdoc, and I
expect that I will have a very hard time finding good candidates.
Nevertheless, I am looking for one postdoc and have started an open call
for a postdoc position. I'm now trying to distribute the ad as much as I
can.
If you kindly distribute the following ad for those who have potential
interest, I will greatly appreciate it.
Best,
Hiromasa

Dear All,
The Takemura Lab (https://www.nips.ac.jp/scbm/en/) at National Institute
for Physiological Sciences (Okazaki, Japan) is seeking to hire a
postdoctoral fellow, who will work on one of the following topics: (i)
human neuroimaging study on white matter tracts, or comparative studies on
white matter tracts using diffusion MRI, (ii) high-resolution structural
and/or functional brain mapping using 7T MRI system, and (iii) cognitive
neuroscience studies on sensory or language processing in the human brain.
The prior experience on neuroimaging studies is advantageous but not
required. Candidates are expected to be experienced with coding in either
MATLAB or Python. Candidates must have a Ph.D. or be scheduled to complete
the degree until the starting date.
The National Institute of Physiological Sciences is located in a city named
Okazaki, which is renowned for beautiful cherry blossoms along a clean
river and the Okazaki castle. The institute houses a 7T and 3T MRI system
fully dedicated for research. Takemura Lab houses a setup for visual
psychophysics experiments.
For details, please visit a following website:

Dear YNiC users,
*YNiC will be closed to users for the week commencing the 6th of September
for vital maintenance*. This will include disruption to YNiC computing
resources for at least the 6th and 7th.
*No operator cover will be available for the week commencing the 20th of
September*, however, researcher's can use the facilities by providing their
own operators in this period.
For the entire of September, YNiC staff availability will be limited, so
signatures for conditional exceptions on consent forms should be requested
a week ahead of the scan booking.
We are holding *level 0 operator training on Wednesday the 25th of August
at 13:00 *and we have space for 2 more trainees.L0 training is available to
allow researcher's to run their own MRI sessions with reduced reliance on
YNiC operators. This training should only be undertaken by researcher's who
have projects that will require operators imminently.
If anybody wants to attend this L0 training please contact
support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk
Cheers,
Rich
