The fellow will report to PIs including Drs. Vilma Gabbay (primary mentor; Mount Sinai School of Medicine), Emily Stern (Mount Sinai School of Medicine), and Michael Milham (Child Mind Institute). Responsibilities include collecting, analyzing, and interpreting fMRI data along with preparing manuscripts. The fellow will receive support and mentorship in obtaining their own grant funding. Applicants should have a PhD in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, computer science, psychology, psychiatry, or other relevant disciplines. Applicants should also be proficient in one or more neuroimaging analysis packages (e.g., SPM, AFNI, FSL), scripting/programming (e.g., Python, Matlab) and statistical analysis (e.g., R, SPSS, SAS). To obtain more information or apply, please send a cover letter and CV to vilma.gabbay(a)mssm.edu <mailto:vilma.gabbay@mssm.edu> ======================================================== Michael P.

Fwd: Postdoctoral Associate position in rt-fMRI at Yale
by Gary Green 22 Jun '14

22 Jun '14

The Department of Diagnostic Radiology at Yale University is looking for a Postdoctoral Associate to work on real-time fMRI neurofeedback studies.The primary project will be a study of real-time fMRI neurofeedback in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, funded by a five-year NIH grant that becomes active this summer. The methods used will be similar to those previously described (Hampson et al., JoVE, 2012; Scheinost et al., Translational Psychiatry, 2013), but will be in a patient population rather than in healthy subjects. The successful candidate will have the option to participate in a wide range of other functional neuroimaging projects, and to analyze existing data sets, including real-time fMRI neurofeedback data from patients with Tourette Syndrome. The position provides a great opportunity for training in both resting state functional connectivity analyses and real-time fMRI, as well as some of the more conventional functional imaging approaches. Familiarity with functional neuroimaging data analysis, a programming background, and experience with Linux are all assets, but not required. Critically, the candidate must have strong analytical/computational skills and be interested in human functional brain imaging. A Ph.D. in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, or a related field is required. The successful candidate will be expected to design and conduct complex analyses of functional neuroimaging data, to prepare manuscripts for publication, and to present the results at scientific meetings. Applicants should forward a CV, contact information for 3 references, and a statement of research interests to Michelle Hampson (michelle.hampson(a)yale.edu <mailto:michelle.hampson@yale.edu>). The ideal start date is September 1, 2014, but there is some flexibility. Salary will be based on the standard NIH payscale.

York Festival of Ideas
by Gary Green 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

19th of June 7pm Berrick Saul Building 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 http://yorkfestivalofideas.com/2014/talks/business-like-brain/

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?
