Fwd: 2 PhD student positions: MVPA for high-field fMRI data

by Gary Green

The Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg is looking for two PhD students for a research project on evaluating multivariate pattern analysis for high-field (7-Tesla) fMRI data. This research project is performed in close collaboration of the departments of Biomedical Magnetic Resonance and Experimental Psychology and covers all methodological aspects – from basic physical principles to the analysis of cognitive processes. Researchers at the Institute of Psychology are also involved in the development of the MVPA analysis software “PyMVPA” as well as the data analysis platform “NeuroDebian” – offering additional opportunities for access to novel methodological developments. These positions offer an excellent opportunity to acquire expertise in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) by working with experts at one of Germany's leading imaging facilities. Research institutions in Magdeburg, such as the Otto-von-Guericke-University, the Leibniz-Institute for Neurobiology, and the German Center for Neuro-Degenerative Diseases, offer a multitude of research-dedicated MRI-scanners (Siemens 7 Tesla, Trio, Verio, Skyra and Philips Achieva).

The post-holder would work on a human neuroimaging project, funded by the UK EPSRC, which aims to develop MRI methods for measuring human brain oxygen consumption as a marker of brain function in health and disease. The position will involve developing MRI data acquisition and analysis strategies based around BOLD FMRI and ASL measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF). The post-holder will be expected to test these new methods in volunteers and in specific groups of neurological patients in collaboration with clinical colleagues. There will also be the opportunity to conduct PET measurements as part of the project. Applicants should have a first degree in the physical or biological sciences and a relevant PhD. The ability to communicate well with scientific colleagues and participants in our experiments is essential. Candidates should have a good understanding of the biophysics underlying FMRI methods as well as an understanding of relevant cerebral physiology. Research experience in FMRI methods development including quantitative assessment of cerebrovascular physiology would be a distinct advantage, as would experience of image data analysis in a UNIX environment using software such as Matlab.

The closing date for applications is 10 May 2013. ---- *JOB 2* ---- *Post-doctoral research associate in neurovascular coupling* *Period of appointment:*24 months subject to a probationary period *Salary:*£30,424 – £36,298 per annum (Grade 6) We are seeking a post-doctoral research associate to work closely with Dr. Kevin Murphy in CUBRIC, School of Psychology, Cardiff University on a 5 year research programme funded by the Wellcome Trust. The post-holder will be involved in neuroimaging studies of neurovascular coupling, investigating age-related alterations in the relationship between neural activity and regional blood supply. They will be expected to acquire and analyse MRI/MEG data in both young and elderly volunteers. The motivation for this research programme stems from the fact that the fMRI BOLD signal is not a direct measure of neuronal activity. When comparing groups using this technique, the implicit assumption that neurovascular coupling properties are equivalent is made. Any alterations in cerebrovascular dynamics lead to BOLD differences that are unrelated to neuronal activity. Using an elderly group as a model for altered coupling, this project will investigate such BOLD differences, not only developing suitable correction strategies to uncover BOLD signal purely related to neural activity but also to use the vascular component as a measure of cerebrovascular health. The post-holder will assist with final objective of research program which is to translate cerebrovascular models that have been developed into young/elderly group comparisons by testing their ability to characterise group differences that are present in MEG-derived neuronal activity measures. Applicants should be experienced in the analysis of neuroimaging or neurophysiological data and should have / or be due to submit a PhD relevant to this or related fields. The ability to communicate well with scientific colleagues and participants in our experiments is essential. Candidates should have a good understanding of the biophysics underlying FMRI and/or MEG signals and their relationship to neurovascular coupling. Practical experience in the acquisition of neuroimaging data is required. For informal enquiries please contact Dr. Kevin Murphy (murphyk2(a)cardiff.ac.uk <mailto:murphyk2@cardiff.ac.uk>).

Fwd: PhD position avilable at Aix-Marseille University

by Gary Green

Dear all, please find below a PhD position offer: _PhD position:_ shape analysis applied to neuroimaging. The LATP (http://latp.univ-mrs.fr) and LSIS (http://www.lsis.org) labs, Aix-Marseille University, France, are seeking a candidate for a PhD in the field of shape analysis applied to neuroimaging. _Candidate_: We are looking for an excellent Ph.D. candidate with a good background in applied mathematics and/or image analysis as well as an interest for neuroimaging. A minimum level of programming skills is required (Matlab, Python, C++). The applicant must have completed Master studies in applied mathematics, computer science, or image analysis prior to starting the program. Excellent academic results during the Master studies are required. The candidate is expected to start in September-October 2013. _Context_: The project is part of a collaboration between the two laboratories which will provide a co-supervision of the PhD student. The LATP lab is a fundamental and applied mathematics lab based in Marseille that includes a team specialised in probabilities, statistics, and signal processing. The LSIS lab is a computer science and information technology lab that includes a team specialised in image analysis with many years of experience in neuroimaging. _Salary_: roughly 1600EUR/month (before tax but including health insurance, social security and fees) _Project_: The project is dedicated to the study of shape representations and distances between shapes. In particular, shape representations using directly the surface of the shapes, such as currents, and those using scalar maps describing the geometry of the shapes, such as Laplacian eigenfunctions, curvelets or shearlets, need to be compared. Their ability to capture global, local, or multiscale directional information is of particular interest. The goal is to produce methods that can be used to perform cortical morphometrics and characterize cortical folding patterns. Both labs can provide a solid theoretical environment and access to large databases of neuroimaging data. _Information and applications:_ Please send your application including your CV with a letter of motivation, and a list of courses you followed with grades and evaluations to frederic.richard(a)univ-amu.fr <mailto:frederic.richard@univ-amu.fr> julien.lefevre(a)univ-amu.fr <mailto:julien.lefevre@univ-amu.fr> olivier.coulon(a)univ-amu.fr <mailto:olivier.coulon@univ-amu.fr> -- Olivier Coulon, CNRS research Fellow, Head of the Images&Models team olivier.coulon(a)univ-amu.fr <mailto:olivier.coulon@univmed.fr> Tel: +33491828527 fax: +33491828550 http://olivier.coulon.perso.esil.univmed.fr <http://olivier.coulon.perso.esil.univmed.fr/> LSIS Laboratory, I&M Team ESIL, Campus de Luminy, Case 925, 13288 Marseille cedex 09, FRANCE BrainMorph logo http://www.lsis.org/brainmorph
