Postdoc Opening: There is an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow with experience in machine learning, pattern recognition and computational modeling who is interested in functional imaging analysis relating to Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The focus of our research is to identify clinically relevant biomarkers as diagnostic and prognostic indicators of TBI by integrating multimodal neuroimaging and neurobehavioral measures. The proposed work will make use of previously collected neuroimaging and self-report symptom measures housed in a database at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE), in Washington, D.C. This database contains structural and functional magnetic resonance (MR) images from over 500 TBI patients and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) images for over 320 of these patients, with additional control subjects. MEG data are also available, along with advanced computational resources. Responsibilities: 1. The main focus of this position is on developing and implementing pattern recognition and machine learning tools for the analysis of MRI and fMRI data sets. 2. Identify and develop multimodal visualization tools and statistical models to classify and discriminate morphological features in imaging data sets. 3. Develop and implement optimization routines to increase efficiency of pattern detection and visualization tools. 4. Other duties include optimizing protocols, monitoring quality control, and participating in the grant and research report authorship. Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: Experience in machine learning techniques, image processing, computational neuroscience, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, nonlinear dynamics, analyzing large neural data sets, neural systems modeling or related areas. Expertise in MRI, fMRI, and quantitative (morphological) MRI. Experience with statistical analysis using a common analysis package (AFNI, FSL or SPM) preferred. Proficiency in a scientific programming language required (e.g. IDL, Matlab, python, C++). Incumbent should also have strong technical writing and verbal communication skills, posses a collaborative personality, strong attention to detail and be highly motivated. U.S. citizenship and/or ability to pass a rigorous background check required. Minimum Education/Training Requirements: Applicants should have a PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Machine Learning, Computational Physics, Applied Mathematics, Computational Neuroscience, or similar. Duration: The duration of this position is for up to 3 years. For informal inquiries, please contact Dr. Nathan: nathan_de(a)yahoo.com

Fwd: 2 PhD positions at MPI Leipzig, Germany

by Gary Green

Dear all, The Department of Neurology at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig and the IFB Adiposity Diseases at the Medical Center Leipzig offer 2 PhD positions in the newly founded Research Group “Obesity and Aging”, headed by Dr Veronica Witte. We aim to determine the effects of obesity, dietary habits and other lifestyle-related factors on the aging brain, and to shed light on potential underlying mechanisms including an individual’s genetic background. Therefore, we use functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), behavioural data, peripheral markers, and genotyping in large cohorts of younger and older humans. Under supervision, the successful applicant will work independently on MRI analyses, statistical analyses, literature research and manuscript drafting as well as on the development of new projects. Participation in the group’s journal club and attendance at meetings is expected. We are looking for a motivated, self-organized, and team-oriented PhD student, holding a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in the disciplines neuroscience/biomedical sciences (psychology, biology, medicine, bioinformatics...). Previous experience in statistics, epidemiology, dealing with large datasets, neuroimaging methods, neuropsychological testing, neuroanatomy, imaging genetics or programming skills are an advantage. Fluent English is necessary. We offer the challenging, dynamic, innovative, international, and multidisciplinary environment of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in the beautiful city of Leipzig, with state-of-the-art facilities for MRI (7 T and 3T) and possibilities to engage in multiple cooperations.

Fwd: PhD position on advanced motion correction for high-resolution EPI imaging

by Gary Green

1 PhD position at the MPI for Biological Cybernetics (MPI-BK), Tübingen, Germany One PhD position is available in a joint research project to develop a highly innovative setup to investigate brain activity during natural arm and finger movements using functional MRI. Movements are fundamental to interact with our environment. Their disturbance - for example in stroke patients - has devastating consequences on all aspects of everyday life. While it is highly desirable to understand the neural processes underlying even simple movements, this is an extremely challenging task due to the space constraints in MR scanners and the co-occurrence of motion artifacts in the EPI images. The successful candidate will join a team consisting of partners at the TU Munich, University of Ulm and the MPI-BK that develops an integrated setup to tackle those limitations. His or her main responsibility will lie on the implementation of novel motion correction schemes for EPI imaging and the integration of the imaging part into the overall setup. Applicants should have an MSc in physics and be experienced in MR imaging. Good programming skills (Matlab/C/C++, favorably Siemens IDEA) are necessary. They should enjoy working on multidisciplinary topics and have a general interest in neuroscience. The MPI-BK provides an excellent multidisciplinary, interactive and collaborative research environment combining expertise in neurophysiology (Prof. Nikos Logothetis), psychophysics (Prof. Heinrich Bülthoff), machine learning (Prof. Bernhard Schölkopf) and MRI methodology (Prof. Klaus Scheffler). The position is funded for a period of 3 years according to German Public service regulations and is immediately available. The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer: Handicapped individuals are strongly encouraged to apply, and so are women in areas in which they are underrepresented. Applications including a CV and a statement of research interests and experience should be submitted to: Prof. Klaus Scheffler Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics Department of High-field Magnetic Resonance Spemannstrasse 41 72076 Tübingen, Germany Email: Tina.Schroeder(a)tuebingen.mpg.de
