Dear FSL users,
We are looking for new and experienced programmers with a background in brain imaging and/or signal processing to work in our UCSF-affiliated research lab.
Please apply at the following link if interested:
https://jobs-ncire.icims.com/jobs/1933/staff-research-associate-iii/job
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).
APPLICATION DEADLINE: February 15th, 2013

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.

The Gaab Labhttp://www.childrenshospital.org/research/gaablab and
(www.babymri.org)) at the Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience at
Children’s Hospital Boston (Developmental Medicine Center) invites
applications for a NIH funded post-doctoral associate in the area of
developmental cognitive neuroscience/pediatric fMRI. Available resources
include a 3.0T MRI scanner, a child-friendly Mock scanner and analysis
platforms based in MATLAB/UNIX. The candidate will be expected to
design, organize and conduct pediatric and infant (f)MRI experiments,
analyze behavioral and fMRI data, prepare manuscripts for publication,
and participate in conferences. The NIH and foundation funded projects
will focus on neural and behavioral pre-markers of developmental
dyslexia in infants and pre-reading children as well as typical reading
and language development. The successful applicant should have a
doctoral degree in a field related to developmental cognitive
neuroscience (e.g., cognitive neuroscience, neuroscience, developmental
psychology, medicine or psychology). Individuals with a background in
electrical engineering, biomedical engineering or computer science will
also be considered, as appropriate. The successful applicant must
possess excellent English verbal and written communication skills.
Applicants are expected to have a very strong research background in the
design and statistical analysis of functional brain-imaging experiments.
Experience with SPM, FSL, Freesurfer, UNIX/LINUX/ and/or programming
skills (MATLAB, C++; Python) are desirable and experience with MVPA or
connectivity analyses a plus. Experience with pediatric functional
neuroimaging and language and reading research are useful. Approximate
start date is Spring/Summer 2013 (the earlier the better). Successful
applicants will be appointed at Children’s Hospital Boston and Harvard
Medical School. For consideration please send a statement of interest, a
CV and a list of three potential referees via email to Nadine Gaab, PhD

The majority of YNiC staff will be attending the MEG UK meeting on
Thursday and Friday and therefore there is no seminar this week.
Normal service will resume next week with 2 project proposal
presentations from Alex Wade's group.
