limited contract of 3 years with a possible extension of another 3 years
after positive evaluation. This position should be filled by 01.04.2015.
Salary: Pay grade 13 TV-L.
Our group studies the behavioral and neural mechanisms of processing of
unconscious visual stimuli and masked priming. We use psychophysical
(RT, Eye-Movements), physiological (EEG, fMRI, tDCS), and
phenomenological approaches to better understand these mechanisms.
*Your Duties*
You will have the opportunity to perform basic research and will be
intimately involved in all aspects of data collection, analyses, and the
publication of results. The research project focusses on physiological
approaches to priming and visual masking. It is expected that you
develop a new branch of research within this field and gain
corresponding funding. You will teach courses as defined in Section 31
of the Higher Education Act of Lower Saxony (NHG) in the Bachelor and
Master of Psychology programs in German. Administrative duties including
supervising student coworkers, maintaining protocols, subject
recruitment and scheduling, and record keeping related to active studies
will also be required.
*Your profile*
. You studied psychology and hold a highly qualified PhD in Psychology.
. Excellent programming experience (e.g., Matlab, Presentation) and
statistical software like R.
. Publications on psychophysiological studies of visual processes
(preferably fMRI).
. Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills. Must have a
demonstrated ability to work
independently and as part of a team.
. Proficiency in German and English.
. Knowledge of and interest in the visual system, visual cognition,
neuroanatomy, and statistics.
This post is designed to serve in fostering young researchers and
scientists and give the successful applicant the opportunity to pursue a
post-doctoral degree.

*Postdoctoral position at Aix-Marseille University (France) in
functional MR Neuroimaging*
A postdoctoral position for *18 months *is available in the research
team Body and Cognition at the Laboratory of Integrative and Associative
Neuroscience (LNIA, UMR7260 CNRS-AMU) in Marseilles, France.
We are seeking a highly motivated researcher with a strong background in
advanced analysis of _functional MR data_ such as connectivity analysis.
The successful candidate will be involved in the /Multisense/ project,
which aims to understand how the brain integrates multisensory signals
to build a unified perception of self-body movements. Neuroimaging
experiments will be conducted in young and old healthy subjects to study
the impact of age on multisensory processing.
LNIA collaborates with the fMRI Marseille center equipped with a 3T MR
scanner, which is dedicated to research only.
The primary duties/responsibilities of the position involve direct
engagement in all aspects of research, including: protocol development
and management, implementation of experiments, participant recruitment,
behavioral testing, and MRI data acquisition, processing, analysis, and
dissemination.
*
*
*Requirements:*
Candidates will have a Ph.D. or similar degree in neuroscience,
biophysics, psychology, cognitive science, or a related discipline.
Experience with brain imaging methods (*functional MRI and resting state
functional MRI)* is required. Therefore, proficiency with neuroimaging
analysis software (e.g. SPM, FSL, BrainVoyager, etc.) and MATLAB are
expected.
Skills in structural brain analysis (voxel-based morphometry, DTI) will
be relevant, but not indispensable.
Applicants should also have exemplary communications skills, *

Additional roles include leadership and active participation in project management activities including the administration of research projects, as well as supervision of postgraduate students.
CI2C - INSERM U1171 team has a 3T MR scanner entirely dedicated to research with MR-compatible equipments (several head coils, monitor / screen for fMRI experiments, MR-compatible EEG system). Our team is involved in several multicenter projects (national and international).
Desired skills and experience:
Applicants must have completed a graduate degree (PhD) or similar degree in neuroscience with relevant experience in multimodal imaging.
The applicant must have experience in signal processing, functional MRI or diffusion tensor imaging, the use of neuroimaging software packages such as SPM, Freesurfer, Matlab, and FSL.

Hi all,
During the remainder of Spring term, YNiC Open Plan will be in use for
teaching at various times.
0900-1300 Tuesdays (starting from 13th January)
1100-1600 Thursdays (starting from 15th January)
(except Week 6 which is a reading week)
In general, we expect there to be some spare capacity within Open Plan
during these sessions but priority will be given to students attending
classes. All machines will be logged out at the start of sessions if
people have left themselves logged in. If you are in open plan during
these sessions, we would ask that you use the computers at the back of
the room (furthest from the teaching area).
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Mark
Dear Users
There will not be a YNiC seminar this afternoon as many of the usual
attendees are away at either the EPS or MEG UK meetings.
Next Thursday Jonny Smallwood and Beth Jeffries will give a Connectivity
Club talk.
