Fwd: PhD position at RWTH Aachen University, Germany - Neuroscience of chemosensation

by Gary Green

FYI The Clinic for Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, RWTH Aachen University, invites applications for a * Ph**D position in Functional Neuroimaging (50% TV-L 13).* The position is available starting September 1^st , 2012 or later in the research group “Functional imaging of the chemosensory system”, Clinic of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology in the framework of the IZKF funded joint research project “Impulsivity and Aggression” at RWTH Aachen University. Funding for this position can be provided for three years. The research of the group focuses on behavioral and neuronal correlates of olfactory, trigeminal, and gustatory stimulation as well as the interaction of the chemosensory systems with other sensory systems. Using state-of-the-art stimulation devices in combination with sophisticated behavioral methods and non-invasive means of functional brain imaging (fMRI, EEG/ERP) we investigate how the human brain processes chemosensory stimuli. The project is focused on *Aggression in the context of situational stimuli*. The influence of different chemosensory stimuli on aggressive behavior and cognitive correlates will be investigated using behavioral as well as functional imaging studies in healthy human subjects. The successful candidate will work within an interdisciplinary team of young researchers at a well-known research institution (_www.rwth-aachen.de <http://www.rwth-aachen.de/>_). The candidate will design and conduct behavioral as well as functional imaging experiments, collect data, perform statistical data analysis (SPSS, Matlab and SPM), present the results at national and international meetings and publish research manuscripts. Candidates must hold a Diploma or M.Sc. degree in Psychology, Neuroscience, Biology, Nutrition, or a related field and should either have experience with sensory testing in a behavioral and psychophysiological setting or designing functional imaging experiments or analyzing behavioral and functional imaging data. Very good English communication and writing skills are expected. The position requires a strong interest in research questions and experimental skills combined with a high level of motivation, team-orientation as well as the ability to solve problems independently. Programming skills in Matlab are considered a plus. Qualified women are explicitly invited to apply and handicapped candidates with equal qualification will be given preference. Please send your application including a cover letter, CV, list of publication as well as at least one reference address to Jun.-Prof. Dr. Jessica Freiherr (jfreiherr(a)ukaachen.de <mailto:jealbrecht@ukaachen.de>).

YNiC talk today

by rem

Dear Users Today there will be a talk at YNiC (4-5 pm) by Dashiel Munding from Université d’Aix-Marseille. The title of Dashiel's talk is "The Cortical Dynamics of Speech Production". Abstract: The architecture and timecourse of the perception of visual words and picture recognition has been relatively well studied, but the process of articulating words is less well understood as it presents practical problems that make the acquisition of accurate MEG data difficult. This brief presentation will discuss a pilot MEG study aimed at capturing and analysing data from a picture naming protocol, its aims, pitfalls and the promising but curious particularities of a very preliminary analysis of the data. Everyone is welcome to attend. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Fwd: PhD studentship at university of Manchester

by Gary Green

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: PhD studentship at university of Manchester Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2012 08:56:02 +0000 From: Kevin Munro <kevin.j.munro(a)MANCHESTER.AC.UK> Reply-To: Kevin Munro <kevin.j.munro(a)MANCHESTER.AC.UK> To: EAR-MAIL(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK *PhD Studentship* *Audiology and Deafness Research Group, **School of Psychological Sciences, University of Manchester* * * *Physiological mechanisms and perceptual consequences of plasticity in the human auditory system* * * *Professor Kevin Munro and Professor Christopher Plack* The Audiology and Deafness Group invite applications for the following 3-year PhD studentship. The project is due to commence in either October 2012 or January 2013 subject to the preference of the successful candidate. Funding attracts full UK/EU tuition fee support, associated research expenses and an annual tax-free stipend of £13, 590. The project falls within our research theme of auditory plasticity. This theme is concerned with understanding the changes that occur over time in the auditory system due to training, deafness, development or restoration of input to a deaf auditory system. The translational goal is to guide fitting and management options for hearing devices. We are particularly keen to extend our work on plasticity after a period of deprivation (earplug) or stimulation (amplification) in normal-hearing individuals. Our recent work has shown that modifying the sensory environment in this way can, for example, result in a change in the threshold of the middle ear muscle reflex and alter the perception of loudness. We aim to understand the physiological mechanisms and perceptual consequences of this plasticity. There is some flexibility over how this PhD study will be designed, allowing significant scope for the successful candidate to shape the research to suit personal interests and skills development. The project will involve a combination of physiological and psychophysical measurement techniques. The Audiology and Deafness group provides an ideal environment for research training. We host state-of-the-art facilities including seven sound-treated booths and several advanced multichannel EEG systems. Our PhD and early-career researchers form key members, benefitting from the opportunity to present at our regular seminars and represent the group at national and international conferences. Applicants should hold, or expect to obtain, a minimum upper-second honours degree (or equivalent) in an audiology, psychology, neuroscience or cognate discipline. A Masters qualification in a related area or minimum two years professional/research experience would be an advantage. The studentship is open to UK/EU nationals only due to the nature of the funding. Please direct expressions of interest in the following format to Professor Kevin Munro (kevin.j.munro(a)manchester.ac.uk <mailto:kevin.j.munro@manchester.ac.uk>): * A personal statement (750 words maximum) outlining your suitability for the study, what you hope to achieve from the PhD and your research experience to date. * Academic CV * Copy of academic degree transcripts * Contact details for two suitable referees Please direct any questions on the project or suitability to Professor Munro at the above address. The deadline for applications is *Friday 24 August* *2012*. http://www.psych-sci.manchester.ac.uk/research/groups/audiologyanddeafness/ http://www.psych-sci.manchester.ac.uk/staff/106712 *********************************************************************************************************************** Kevin J Munro, Ewing Professor of Audiology, Director of Graduate Matters for School of Psychological Sciences Room A3.11, Ellen Wilkinson Building, University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK Tel: +44 161 275 3360, Fax: +44 161 275 3373, www.psych-sci.manchester.ac.uk <http://www.psych-sci.manchester.ac.uk/> PA: Dan Owens, +44 161 275 8281, daniel.owens(a)manchester.ac.uk ***********************************************************************************************************************
