I am writing on behalf of the local organizing committee to invite you and your postgraduate / postdoctoral colleagues to attend the 23^rd Postgraduate Symposium of the British Chapter of the ISMRM, which will be held in Cardiff on 11^th April. For those who have already been to the PG-Symposium, you know what a valuable experience this for the students and more senior academics.First, it provides a great opportunity for students to present their work in a relaxed and friendly setting and to receive constructive feedback on their work. Second, it provides a great networking opportunity for all attendees. Thirdly, it provides a very rich ‘snapshot’ of the current MR research activity in the UK. I’ve always come away slightly humbled by the quality and breadth of research being presented and I know that the students appreciate having an academic representation in the audience. This year’s event,thanks to generous support of our sponsors, is being held in a wonderful location (The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama),with great catering.We’re also able to offer some substantial prizes to students giving the best presentations at the meeting. The aim is to carry on the usual tradition of a very lenient acceptance rate so as to give as many students as possible a chance to present their work either as oral, poster-pitch or traditional poster. Please could I ask you to encourage as many of your student lab members as possible to attend the meeting.It’s completely free to attend, but we do need people to register in advance.Our postgrad/postdoc team, headed by Jess Steventon and Esther Warnert, have assembled a great programme, with scientific debates being a new feature for 2014. Please visit our website: http://sites.cardiff.ac.uk/pgbcismrm2014 for more information, and registration. I’d be grateful if you could promote this within your centre and help us to make this a real UK-wide activity.Questions / more information available via email at: cubric-ismrm2014(a)cardiff.ac.uk <mailto:cubric-ismrm2014@cardiff.ac.uk> <mailto:cubric-ismrm2014@cardiff.ac.uk> …and as mentioned above, academics are absolutely more than welcome!I promise that it will not rain!

Fwd: New Postdoc position available in the MRC Cognition and Brain Science Unit, Cambridge, UK.
by Gary Green 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Dear all, Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position to join the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (CamCAN). This centre brings together a large group of researchers across the University of Cambridge and at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (MRC-CBU) who aim to relate brain changes to cognitive changes over the adult lifespan (covering ages 18-88). You will work with a unique population-representative sample of 700 adults on whom we have already collected extensive cognitive and structural brain measures. A subset of these individuals will be tested in a further set of fMRI and MEG studies designed to probe specific cognitive functions. The CamCAN project will integrate across these data-sets using a variety of methods, relating changes in neural structure and function over the lifespan to changes in cognitive function and capacity. Your role will be to help conduct the second stage fMRI and MEG studies, and to play a key role in integrating the various CamCAN cognitive and imaging datasets, using multivariate and multimodal neuroimaging methods. You will be a cognitive neuroscientist with a strong background in statistics, especially of large data-sets, and in functional imaging, imaging statistics and cognitive and/or physiological ageing. Please follow this link for further details and application procedure: http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AID115/investigator-scientist-to-study-ageing/ Many thanks Jason Stretton

Fwd: Position for Technically-skilled Neuroimaging Post-doc with UPenn Addictions Group
by Gary Green 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Penn MedicineAnna Rose Childress, Ph.D. Perelman School /of/ Medicine/Research Professor/ University /of/ Pennsylvania Health System Department of Psychiatry * * * OPEN for IMMEDIATE APPLICATION * We are seeking a _Post-Doctoral Fellow with strong technical skills in neuroimaging_, and a potential interest in the clinical neuroscience of addiction, for a position in our NIH/NIDA T32 Translational Addiction Research Fellowship within the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine in Philadelphia. The selected candidate will become a member of our inter-disciplinary clinical neuroimaging laboratory with ongoing, funded projects in cocaine, marijuana, nicotine and opiate addiction. The T32 Fellowship position is funded up to three years, and could develop into a long-term position within the laboratory and the University. Our laboratory is especially focused on understanding brain vulnerabilities that may underlie the difficult clinical problem of relapse, with the goal of improving addiction treatment. Within this general domain – we are pursuing several vulnerabilities (e.g., heightened response of motivational/reward circuit response to drug cues; poor frontal modulation of the limbic response to appetitive and aversive/stress cues; poor inhibition, impaired decision-making, etc.), using these brain measures both as predictors of relapse, and as brain targets for medication/medication discovery. Recently, we have begun to combine brain imaging and hypothesis-driven genetics with the goal of understanding the heterogeneity in relapse, and in medication response, for our clinical populations. Though our primary tool is MRI (BOLD, ASL, and structural), we also have ongoing neuroligand imaging. We push our neuroimaging tools toward novel applications, including recent characterization of the brain response to ultra-brief, subliminal cues for reward, and the development of real-time fMRI feedback for improved cognitive control. _All of the described projects have significant existing datasets, offering a technically-skilled post-doc a stream of immediate publication opportunities. _ Our addictions research group is part of an extensive network of neuroimaging efforts across several research Centers and schools at Penn (Perelman School of Medicine, School of Arts and Sciences, Annenberg School of Communications, Wharton School of Business), and the adjacent Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The imaging resources include multiple MR scanners, as well as capabilities for MRS, MEG, FNIRS, PET, and soon-to-come, concurrent MRI-PET scanning. Our custom, web-based neuroinformatics software, WISDM, enables rapid sharing and display of raw data and imaging results, facilitating collaborations within and beyond our lab. Successful candidates will have strong communication skills and clear technical expertise, including prior experience with one or more statistical packages for neuroimaging (e.g., SPM, FSL, AFNI). Demonstrated ability to apply more advanced tools (e.g., connectivity, causal modeling, FIR, etc.), and to integrate imaging and non-imaging (behavioral measures; genetics) will be an advantage. The ability to publish research findings is important for this position. Candidates will have completed an MD or PhD or equivalent degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., engineering, biomedical engineering, biophysics, mathematics, neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, psychology, etc.). The University of Pennsylvania is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Minorities and women are strongly encouraged to apply. *US Citizenship or Permanent Resident status (green card) is required. *Applications will be considered until the position is filled. Please e-mail a CV, a one-page letter of your interest in, and potential fit for, the position, and the names of 3 references to the laboratory director / NIDA T32 Fellowship Training Director, Dr. Anna Rose Childress _(childres(a)mail.med.upenn.edu)_.
