Fwd: Post-doc position: the twin connectome in Autism
by Gary Green 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

One post-doc position is available in our group, the deadline is 30-08-2013. Please find the details below: *** Department Center of Neurodevelopmental Disorders at Karolinska Institutet (KIND)(www.ki.se/kind) KIND is a competence center for research, development and education within the area of developmental psychopathology. The center is established in collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm County Council, and aims at improving clinical practice, generating basic research, and spreading new knowledge to stakeholders. The Roots of Autism Twin Study Sweden (RATSS) is a frontline research project within KIND, focusing on monozygotic twins being discordant for autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders, e.g. ADHD. For the first time ever, twins are examined on multiple levels, among them functional and structural neuroimaging using MRI. Scanning is performed in the Karolinska Institutet MR Research Center, using a 3 Tesla MR scanner (GE MR750), and more than 45 pairs have now been examined. *** Duties As a post-doc, you will be mainly responsible for the acquisition and analyses of the multimodal neuroimaging data. This includes DTI, resting-state fMRI and structural T1, to be combined according to a brain connectome approach. This work will be done in close collaboration with the department of Clinical Neuroscience. The position also includes several other responsibilities, e.g. coordination of the neuroimaging works at KIND, involvement in international collaborations, administrative tasks, grant application and article writing.

Fwd: Fully-funded PhD studentship
by Gary Green 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Neurocognitive processes underpinning different aspects of Mental Resilience Applications are invited for a 4 year PhD studentship fully funded by the Ministry of Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), supervised by Prof Paul Downing (School of Psychology), Prof Lew Hardy, and Dr. Ross Roberts (School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences). The studentship includes payment of UK / EU level tuition fees and a maintenance allowance of £13,726. All PhDs funded by DSTL are subject to MODREC approval. Project Description This studentship is to support an interdisciplinary project that will focus on expanding current conceptualisations of Mental Resilience to include both decision making under pressure and emotional responses to traumatic situations. The project will use functional MRI to examine the neurocognitive processes underlying these different forms of mental resilience, and will also examine how the capacity to utilise these processes predicts performance and mental well-being in military environments. The project represents a collaboration between world-leading researchers in elite human performance and in cognitive neuroscience, from two Schools at Bangor University. To find more information about the supervisory team, please see http://pages.bangor.ac.uk/~pss811/, http://www.bangor.ac.uk/sport/staff-lh.php, and http://www.bangor.ac.uk/sport/staff-rr.php. Candidate Requirements The successful candidate will normally have a First Class Honours Degree and/or a Master’s Degree in a relevant discipline. The ability to work independently and enthusiastically with the support of a supervisor is essential. Good quantitative research skills are essential; experience of measurement development and or/brain imaging would be advantageous but not essential, as training will be provided.
