Fwd: PhD job announcement in functional MRI connectivity analysis

by Gary Green

FYI --------------------- We are offering a PhD opportunity at the university hospital Tübingen, Germany. The project is focused on the development of a graph-theory, voxel-based functional MRI connectivity approach to analyze epileptic brains in humans. Tübingen is one of Germany's "Elite" i.e. excellence universities with a strong emphasis on neuroscience. The technical infrastructure for imaging neuroscience includes 9.4T and multiple 3T MRI scanners, a high-density MEG facility and, within the department, a new high-density MR-compatible 256-channel EEG. SETTING Joint project of the Department of Neurology and Epileptology (head Prof. Lerche) and the Department of Biomedical Magnetic Resonance (head Prof. Scheffler). SKILLS The applicant will learn and develop state-of-the-art functional connectivity analysis in healthy subjects and epilepsy patients and can also learn (high-density) EEG. REQUIREMENTS University degree preferably in (MR-) physics or mathematics (biology or medicine is also possible if the other requirements are met). Programming skills (Matlab) are required; the candidate should have previous knowledge about MR-imaging and/or EEG. Previous experiences in graph-theory analysis are a plus. Applicants are expected to be fluent in English. German language skills are helpful but not required. FORMALIA - initially for 2 years, extension possible - planned start date April 1, 2013 (earlier possible) PAYMENT 1,365€ per month (tax free fellowship/stipend) APPLICATION - Curriculum vitae - a one page statement summarizing previous experience and indicating potential their contribution to the project - two reference letters - All documents should be emailed to Dr. Focke (niels.focke(a)uni-tuebingen.de) - Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interviews (in personam or via Skype).

Fwd: MR physicist position - University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland

by Gary Green

FYI ----------------------------- MR Physicist University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, Switzerland Applications are invited for the position of MR physicist at the Laboratory for Social and Neural Systems Research (SNS Lab) at the University of Zurich. The successful candidate will be responsible for the development, maintenance, and optimization of MRI technology in the lab. This will include sequence development for functional and structural MRI, user support, quality control as well as implementation and validation of multimodal imaging techniques. He/She will optimize and support the use of methods and devices employed for structural and functional fMRI on the laboratory’s research-dedicated Philips Achieva 3T scanner and will have the opportunity to participate in research projects on high-field imaging at 7T and the integration of MRI and other neuroscience techniques (e.g., TMS, tDCS, EEG). The successful candidate will work in close collaboration with the research groups and staff at the SNS Lab (http://www.sns.uzh.ch/people.html). In addition, strong collaborative links exist with Klaas Pruessmann’s MRI technology group at the Institute for Biomedical Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (http://www.mr.ethz.ch). The SNS Lab and the Institute for Biomedical Engineering offer an exciting and friendly multidisciplinary research environment with ample opportunities for research and collaboration. Researchers at the SNS Lab investigate the mechanistic links between neuronal circuits, human behavior and social interactions, using combinations of brain imaging methods, brain stimulation techniques, behavioral experiments, and computational approaches. All technical facilities relevant for this research are available in a single custom-built unit that is fully dedicated to research (http://www.sns.uzh.ch/facilities.html). Individuals who hold or will soon receive a PhD in MR physics, are team-oriented, and have performed work relevant to the current position are eligible to apply. Both senior and more junior researchers may apply; the job profile can be flexibly adapted to the experience of the successful applicant. The position is available immediately and is intended as a long-term position. The salary is negotiable and will depend on the successful applicant’s qualifications and experience. Applications should be sent electronically and include a CV (incl. full publication list), a statement of interest, and the names and e-mail addresses of two referees. Please send these materials in a single PDF file to applications(a)iew.uzh.ch with “MR physicist” in the e-mail subject line. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
