Fwd: Post-doc position available in Jülich/Düsseldorf

by Gary Green

*Connectivity endophenotypes of brain disease* *The lab:*The Brain Network Modelling Group is dedicated to the multi-modal analysis of cognitive and affective networks as well as their disturbances by neurological and psychiatric disorders. To this end, we employ functional and structural MRI (with research dedicated 3T, 4T and 9.4T scanners available), meta-analyses of neuroimaging results, database-driven modeling as well as analyses of structural (diffusion-weighted imaging), functional (resting-state analysis) and effective (Dynamic Causal Modeling) connectivity analyses. *Project: Developing and applying multi-variate analyses for clinical application* - Neuro-psychiatric disorders are characterized by multiple, often interacting disturbances in brains structure, function and connectivity. How may these be best used to classify patients from controls? Do they relate to clinical phenotypes? Can distinct sub-populations of patients be identified from neuroimaging? - The key aim of this work is to employ cutting-edge methods (cluster-analyses, machine-learning, multi-variate regression) for the analysis of volumetric data, resting-state functional connectivity and diffusion weighted imaging in order to identify and evaluate neurobiological endophenotypes that may answer the above questions. - Comprehensive neuroimaging and clinical/phenotypical data has already been collected for large cohorts of patients with depression, schizophrenia and PD in a multi-center setting, with new acquisitions currently being performed. These resources allow the project to focus on data analysis and modeling. Developing a personal focus on one of these disorders is strongly supported. *Qualifications: * - PhD in a field related to neuroimaging withsolid publication record - Proficiency in programming (MATLAB, Python) /and/or/ - Experience in resting-state or DWI analysis *Administrative: *Funding is secured for an initial period of 3 years. Payment will correspond to salary grade 13 of the German Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Civil Services (TVöD). *To apply:*Send a CV, motivation letter and contact details of two academic referees to S.Eickhoff(a)fz-juelich.de <mailto:S.Eickhoff@fz-juelich.de>and/or meet me at the OHBM conference! =================================== Univ.-Prof. Dr. med.

Fwd: PhD studentship at the UCL Ear Institute

by Gary Green

FYI - MEG involved ** A 3 year PhD studentship in auditory cognitive neuroscienceis available as part of a research collaboration between the UCL Ear Institute (London, UK) and NTT Communication Science Labs (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone corporation, Atsugi, Japan). The student will be based at the UCL Ear Institute and supervised by Dr. Maria Chait. They will also be working with Prof. Makio Kashino and Dr. Shigeto Furukawa (NTT). The project will use psychophysics, eye tracking, autonomic response measures and MEG functional brain imaging to investigate which features of sound are perceptually salient. Namely, those sounds that automatically capture attention in a busy scene, even when listeners’ initial perceptual focus is elsewhere. The UCL Ear Institute provides state-of-the-art research facilities across a wide range of disciplines and is one of the foremost centres for hearing, speech and language-related research within Europe. ** *Key Requirements* The PhD start date would be September 2013. Applicants should have a UK/EU nationality and a 1^St class, or upper 2^nd degree in a relevant discipline (e.g. Psychology, Neuroscience, Engineering). The PhD work would require good programming skills (e.g. in Matlab). Previous experience with auditory research, functional brain imaging, signal processing and/or acoustics is desirable. *For an informal discussion, or to submit an application please contact Dr. Maria Chait (**m.chait(a)ucl.ac.uk* <mailto:m.chait@ucl.ac.uk>*). Applicants should submit a supporting statement, a CV, and the details of two academic referees. **The closing date for receipt of applications is July 15th, 2013.**The studentship includes fees and a yearly stipend (about £16000; tax free). *** Maria Chait PhD m.chait(a)ucl.ac.uk <mailto:m.chait@ucl.ac.uk> Senior Lecturer UCL Ear Institute 332 Gray's Inn Road London WC1X 8EE

Interns - please read.

by Claire Fox

Dear All, I would be very grateful it you would consider a placement on your YNiC Project for a psychology student looking for an intern placement this summer as we have had numerous requests. Having spoken to the legal department I can confirm, an intern can be offered a non-paid placement for up to 8 weeks, volunteering to assist on research projects and obtain some valuable experience. This can be an excellent opportunity for outreach activity and these students, whilst gaining valuable skills, can be of use to your research laboratory by assisting existing students. If you would like their contact details or any further information please don't hesitate to get in touch with me, Thank you and best wishes, Claire -- Claire Fox PA to Professor Gary Green The York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way Science Park York YO10 5NY Tel: 01904 435329 Fax: 01904 435356 Email: Claire.fox(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Website: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/ E-mail disclaimer: http://www.york.ac.uk/docs/disclaimer/email.htm

Fwd: Postdoc positions in Multimicroelectrode Recordings in Humans

by Gary Green

Two postdoctoral fellows are sought to work with a multidisciplinary team of researchers, to conduct and analyze intracranial multimicroelectrode recordings in humans. The recording systems are either 'Utah arrays' with 96 separate microelectrodes recording units and local field potentials in a grid at 400u centers, or laminar arrays sampling LFP at 150u spacing to derive current source density and multiunit activityfrom layer 1 through layer 6. Both electrodes are combined with distributed subdural strips and/or depth electrodes, placed in epileptic patients for localization of seizure onset. Areas of primary interest are sleep rhythms, memory consolidation, multisensory processing and language, but a broad range of cognitive, sensory and motor phenomena are explored. One position is at the University of California, San Diego and is more concerned with multivariate statistical analysis of several datasets; the other position is at New York University and is more concerned with overseeing the actual recordings and analysis. For inquiries and applications, please contact: Eric Halgren, Ph.D. ehalgren(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:ehalgren@ucsd.edu> and Thomas Thesen, Ph.D. thomas.thesen(a)med.nyu.edu <mailto:thomas.thesen@med.nyu.edu>

YNiC Doors being replaced

by Gary Green

This is just to let you know that the front doors to YNiC, between us and CHyM, have to be replaced and this will happen on Monday morning, the 24th of June. Sorry, but MEG will be unavailable as we predict that the noise level will be too high for any meaningful observations I apologise for any inconvenience caused. -- --------------- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg tel.
