Tenure Track Position "Neuropsychology of Language and Language Disorders" Application deadline: 17 May 2015 Responsibilities The research consortium Language in Interaction (www.languageininteraction.nl) invites applications for a tenure track position, offered with a view to long-term embedding of neuropsychological research in a clinical setting, and enhancement of collaborative research in the field of language-related disorders. The specific focus of the position is on the neuropsychology of language, bridging gaps at the clinical /non-clinical intersection (e.g. language-related disorders). This integration can be achieved using a varied set of methods, such as behavioural experimentation, functional neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG, MEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and formal computational modelling of language processes. You will head an independent research group to be established to promote the interaction between clinical and pre-clinical researchers. You will be expected to conduct research in one or more research areas relevant to the position. Supervision of BSc, MSc and PhD projects will be part of your responsibilities. Administrative duties will include local and/or national committee memberships. With a view to continuation, the position may be expanded to include teaching and clinical work. You will be provided with budgetary resources, a PhD student or technician, materials and consumables. Work environment The Netherlands has an outstanding track record in the language sciences. The Language in Interaction consortium, sponsored by a Gravitation grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific research (NWO), brings together many of the excellent research groups in the Netherlands in a research programme on the foundations of language.

Applications are invited for a Post-Doctoral Researcher to join the Wellcome Trust Consortium for Neuroimmunology of Mood Disorders and Alzheimer’s Disease (NIMA) http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/6526/. The post will be based at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Cambridge UK, under the supervision of Prof. Ed Bullmore. NIMA is a 5-year research programme, with total funding of approximately £5.7M, designed to translate the new inter-disciplinary science of neuroimmunology to therapeutic applications in psychiatry and neurology. The research programme will be coordinated across a network of UK academic centres (University of Cambridge, University of Sussex, University of Cardiff, University of Glasgow, King’s College London, University of Oxford and University of Southampton) and two major pharmaceutical companies (Janssen Pharmaceuticals R&D and H. Lundbeck A/S). The scientific scope of the research will include clinical biomarker studies, therapeutic trials of new drugs in patients with depression and Alzheimer’s disease and is intended to develop new treatment approaches for these conditions. Prof. Ed Bullmore (University of Cambridge) and Dr. Neil Harrison (University of Sussex) will co-lead MRI components of the Consortium which will be undertaken at Cambridge, Glasgow, KCL, Oxford & Sussex. This post will be based at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and will involve close coordination with Sussex as well as each of the other imaging sites. The research programme will use a range of advanced quantitative techniques including models of magnetisation transfer (qMT), T1/ T2 mapping and diffusion imaging (NODDI), as well as task-related functional imaging and graph theoretic analyses of multi-echo resting state fMRI in conjunction with peripheral and CSF immunophenotyping to investigate the neural and peripheral signatures of inflammation in patients with depression. Comparable techniques as well as histology will be acquired in rodent inflammation models at other sites to facilitate back-translation of the human imaging findings. The post holder will work closely with a postdoc based at Sussex and other researchers at both sites to analyse all of the imaging data acquired from up to 150 patients and controls. This post offers an outstanding opportunity to be involved in a large multi-centre consortium combining cutting-edge microstructural and functional neuroimaging with deep immunological phenotyping to characterise the role of inflammation in the commonest mental disorder depression. The successful candidate will assist in the initial quality control of sequences across imaging centres and the analysis and interpretation of the imaging data. The post will involve close collaboration with other leading UK neuroimaging groups as well as groups working on functional immunological network changes. The purpose of this role is to support and maintain the University’s national and international reputation for excellence in teaching and research. Contribution to excellence in research will be as a member of a research team carrying out research at a similar level to that undertaken by lecturing staff and will provide substantial scope for academic judgement, originality, interpretation and presentation of results. The role holder will assist with grant administration and the writing of reports for funding bodies. Contribution to teaching will include assistance in the presentation of seminars and may include participation in the research group’s teaching programme.

Dear all, Please note the information below from IT Services regarding wifi problems with Eduroam and expected downtime later today. This will affect users within YNiC using Eduroam but will *not* affect the desktops, lab PCs or wired guest network connections. Thanks, Paul. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Intermittent wifi problems Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 09:37:52 +0100 From: Joanne Casey <joanne.casey(a)york.ac.uk> To: dcos <dcos-group(a)york.ac.uk>, dept & coll admins <dept-admins-group(a)york.ac.uk> Dear colleagues, Please circulate this information. We have become aware of a problem with the wireless network which is causing intermittent periods of downtime for up to a quarter of our wireless access points. Our monitoring systems pick this up, and the points are then gradually restored to working order. Clearly, we want to fix this problem as quickly as possible, and are liaising with the supplier. It's likely that we'll need to make some emergency changes later today which will cause a period of downtime for wifi. We'll let you know more as soon as we can, and will also post updates on Twitter (twitter.com/UoYITServices <http://twitter.com/UoYITServices>) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/UoYITServices <https://www.facebook.com/UoYITServices>).
