Dear Colleagues,
I write to announce the availability of an exciting postdoctoral opportunity in diffusion tractography at the Microstructure Imaging Group (MIG: http://cmic.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mig) within the Centre for Medical Image Computing (CMIC: http://cmic.cs.ucl.ac.uk) and Department of Computer Science (UCL-CS: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk) at University College London (UCL: http://www.ucl.ac.uk).
The post holder will work on the development of novel tractography techniques underpinned by advanced microstructure modelling of diffusion MRI data. It will be part of a new EPSRC funded project (http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/L022680/1) between MIG and the Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain (FMRIB) at Oxford. For a flavour of the work, see recent publications by Matthew Rowe (IPMI 2013), Hui Zhang (NeuroImage 2011; 2012), Stam Sotiropoulos (NeuroImage 2012), Eleftheria Panagiotaki (NeuroImage 2012) and Daniel Alexander.
The formal application, with a closing date of 18th of July, 2014, can be filed by visiting:

Post doctoral position available for research using a multimodal
approach to investigate brain organization and function at the Hofstra
University-North Shore LIJ School of Medicine in partnership with the
Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. Studies involve surgical
epilepsy patients undergoing intracranial electrophysiological
monitoring for seizure detection and functional electrical stimulation
mapping. Ongoing research projects include:
1) Validation of task-based and resting state fMRI and DTI using
electrical stimulation mapping, electrocorticography and corticocortical
evoked potentials;
2) Investigation of the neuronal dynamics underlying selective attention
and active sensing, language, object identification and auditory stream
analysis;
3) Modulation of neuronal function by direct cortical stimulation and
investigation of the mechanisms of TMS, tDCS and tACS;
4) Prediction of seizure spread using electrophysiological and MRI markers.
Responsibilities will include designing fMRI, ECoG and neurostimulation
experiments and data analysis and the coordination of access to patients
for research studies. Located in Long Island, 10 miles from Manhattan,
there is tremendous opportunity for involvement with collaborative
effort with multiple research groups the area with similar
interests.Candidates should have M.D. and/or Ph.D. degrees and have some
background in fMRI, electrophysiology, and/or data analysis (Matlab).
Ideal start date would be between 9/2014-1/2015. For more information

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

Great! I take that as a yes.
£1800 Seems a bit high though. Expedia has flights and hotels at around
£1100 for the week and student registration fees are $310CAD
How about we say £1500 and ask students to apply for external bursaries
(Brain etc.)? That’s a useful exercise anyway.
Or am I being mean? We do have the cash, so I’m open-minded on that.
Best Wishes,
Krish

Hi everyone,
As everyone knows, Biomag is only every two years and the MRC have not
directly funded any student conference travel costs in this DTG part of
the grant - we are expected to cover those from the Partnership Grant
itself.
Unfortunately we did not specifically ask for a pot for PhD student
travel costs.
However, I’d like to propose that we fund our eight students this year
to go to Biomag, if they are planning to go. 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?
Krish

Dear friends and colleagues
We would be grateful if you could disseminate information about a PhD
scholarship supervised by Craig McAllister (Birmingham University) and
Klaus Kessler (Aston University) to potential candidates. The project
will involve MEG and TMS/tES in the context of the
action-observation-execution-matching system (mirroring). The
scholarship includes fees (to university) a as well as a stipend (living
costs) for UK and EU students.
Further details can be found here:

Many thanks
Klaus

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.

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.
