02 Apr '14

The School of Psychology at Cardiff University is currently advertising up to four new appointments at Lecturer or Senior Lecturer level. While we will consider applicants with a strong research background or strong research potential in any area of Psychology, we are especially interested in receiving applications in the following areas: (i) Cognitive and/or behavioural neuroscience research relevant to cognitive development and/or decline. (Ii) Research into behaviour change, particularly in the context of environmental and/or health psychology/neuroscience. We are one of the largest psychology departments in the UK, allowing us to offer well-resourced teaching and research opportunities in all areas of psychology, from neuroscience and brain imaging to social and developmental psychology, encompassing both basic science and applied aspects. Our teaching was judged to be 'Excellent' in the Teaching Quality Assessment, and we were top of our subject table in 'research power' in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), continuing from the highest possible rating, 5*, in both previous assessments (1996, 2001). We were recently ranked 40th in the 2014 QS World University Rankings. The School has an Athena SWAN Bronze Award that recognises good employment practice and a commitment to develop the careers of women working in science.

Fwd:: Post Doc and PhD positions, Helsinki, Finland
by Gary Green 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

2 Post Doc, 2 PhD, Helsinki, Finland We are looking to recruit 2 post-doctoral researchers with an established track record either in cognitive neuroscience utilizing human electrophysiological recordings (MEG, EEG, SEEG, ECoG) or in technical/mathematical sciences such as signal processing, neuroinformatics, information theory, and complex systems, or in both. A successful applicant will have a high level of innovativity, commitment, courage, and inspiration to carry out top-level systems-neuroscience research. Strong writing skills are essential and a background in mathematics and programming useful. We are, in particular, looking for researchers experienced in the field of neuronal oscillations, dynamics, and connectomics. The post-doctoral positions are for 2 year contracts with a possibility for an extension, but also shorter visits may be considered. Multi-disciplinary systems neuroscience research is thriving in the Helsinki region with available experimental approaches ranging from genetics to MEG/EEG/fMRI and TMS. It is also worth noting that through effective child- and healthcare, high-quality public school system, and safe environment, Finland offers excellent possibilities for moving in with a family. We are also looking for 2 enthusiastic, talented, and highly motivated graduate students with a strong background in systems neuroscience and/or in relevant mathematical/technical sciences. Work experience in relevant research groups will be valuable. The post-doctoral researchers and graduate students will work in the research groups of Satu and J. Matias Palva (www.helsinki.fi/neurosci/groups/palva_satu.html , www.helsinki.fi/neurosci/groups/palva.html). The overarching aim of the present research projects is to understand the mechanisms coordinating collective neuronal activity into cognitive operations such as attention, conscious perception, and working memory. The work involves psychophysics, electrophysiological recordings (MEG, EEG, and SEEG), neuroimaging (MRI, fMRI, DTI), interventional approaches (e.g., TMS, BCI), and high-level data analyses and computational neuroscience approaches. The projects involve also several international collaborators and belong, in part, to the Human Brain Project. Applicants are invited to send satu.palva(a)helsinki.fi and matias.palva(a)helsinki.fi their CV, list of publications, motivation letter, and contact info for persons who can give recommendations. Potential candidates are also encouraged to send an inquiry email if they wish to find out more about the position before applying. The application deadline is 31.5.2014, but recruitment is effective immediately and positions may be filled already before the deadline. -- Haiteng Jiang PhD candidate Neuronal Oscillations Group Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging Radboud University Nijmegen Visiting address Room 2.32 Kapittelweg 29 6525 EN Nijmegen Tel: +31 (0)243668291 Web: https://sites.google.com/site/haitengjiang/

Fwd: Joint PHD position available at Umea center of Functional Brain Imaging (UFBI, Umea) and Aging Research Center (ARC, Karolinska Institute)
by Gary Green 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Dear all, We are delighted to announce an opening for a 4 years joint PHD position at Umeå center for functional brain imaging (UFBI) and Aging research center (ARC) under the supervision of Alireza Salami, PhD, Lars Nyberg, PhD, and Lars Bäckman, PhD. The research focus is on network-specific effect of age and dopamine on resting-state functional connectivity utilizing two large longitudinal cohort studies known as BETULA and COBRA. These two datasets are extremely unique in terms of number of imaging modalities, extensive battery of cognitive tests as well as the number of participants. For instance, COBRA is a longitudinal multimodal imaging study, started in 2013. The study will follow a large cohort (n=190) of 63-67 year-old randomly selected from the population registry in Umeå over a 10 year period. Cognitive performance, functional (including resting state fMRI and PET) and structural brain integrity (DTI and T1) will be assessed at three measurement points, each separated by 4.5 years. The successful PHD candidate should employ different “network-science” approaches, such as independent component analysis (ICA) and graph theory to provide new insight into the interplay among age, different RSN measures, dopamine, and various neuropsychological measures. Applicants should have second-cycle background in biomedical engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, biostatistics, psychology, cognitive science, or some other relevant area. Basic knowledge in neuroscience and cognitive psychology is a requirement. Interest and prior knowledge in statistics are needed. Experience with functional neuroimaging in general and prior research experience in at least one of the three imaging modalities (resting-state fMRI, task-based fMRI, and diffusion tensor imaging) is a major plus. Some experience in neuroimaging analysis methods (SPM/Matlab, FSL, AFNI, ICA, graph theory, shell scripting etc.) is strongly preferred, though further training in imaging analysis will be a key component of the PHD training. The applicant must also be efficient, thorough, a good communicator in English, and enjoy working in an international and dynamic team. The application deadline is April 24, 2014 and the position start date is flexible between July and September 2014. The successful applicant will be affiliated both at Karolinka institute and at Umea University. S/He will be mainly settled down at ARC in Stockholm. Interested applicants should formally apply as described in the ad bellow: https://ki.mynetworkglobal.com/en/what:job/jobID:34724/where:4/ Best /Alireza Salami
