These are open to candidates with a track record of the highest calibre research and who have the potential to be research leaders of the future in any academic area. Vice-Chancellor's Fellowships support researchers in the development of their programme of research. We particularly encourage: research proposals of an interdisciplinary nature that cross boundaries between different fields of research; pioneering proposals that address new and emerging fields of research; and proposals that introduce unconventional, innovative approaches and scientific inventions. As a Vice-Chancellor's Fellow, you will use your research, skills, knowledge and expertise to contribute and complement the aims of your Department. Your immediate priority will be to establish a programme of personal research, which will attract external funding, in order to develop research of international standing. You will build, lead and manage your programme of research, undertake a significant piece of publishable research, and commit significant time and effort in managing future research activity. You will develop your reputation through publication in the highest-quality journals (or other appropriate form of publication as appropriate to your discipline) and attendance at national and international conferences, along with a range of other professional activities. You will be an active contributor to the University's research community and will take on supervision and leadership roles commensurate with your skills and experience. You will supervise and provide pastoral care or guidance to students, and engage in teaching and administration duties associated with PhD supervision. You will be expected to work toward gaining Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy and will be expected to align your work to departmental teaching and administrative duties. You will help to raise the profile of the University through civic engagement activities. As a Fellow you will be both aspirational about your career and inspirational to others. You will place strong emphasis on your personal development by committing to a rigorous development plan. You must show the potential for research independence and evidence of research maturity. A PhD in a relevant subject area is essential. You must have produced and published at least one important publication without the participation of your PhD supervisor (at the time of application). You should demonstrate a promising track record of early achievements appropriate to your research field and career stage, including significant publications (as main author) in your respective field. You may also be able to demonstrate a record of invited presentations at well-established international conferences, and awards of grants and prizes. A Research Support Grant will be provided to support your preliminary research. The amount awarded will be decided on a case-by-case basis, and determined by your estimation of research 'running costs' in the first eighteen months of appointment. In all cases, £3,000 will be ring-fenced for costs associated with the publication and dissemination of your research. You will be supported individually and as a cohort, through monthly personal and professional development training. You will be mentored by an internationally excellent academic who is around ten years ahead in career terms. After the four-year Fellowship period of this post you will become a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer. These are open-ended appointments with a start date of 1 October 2015.

Fwd: 2 years Post Doc position at the Neurofunctional Imaging Group in Bordeaux - France
by Gary Green 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

*Please find enclose a 2 years Post Doctoral position at the Neurofunctional Imaging Group in Bordeaux - France* The Neurofunctional Imaging Group (GIN) is a CNRS-CEA joint research unit of the Bordeaux University (UMR 5296, dir. Bernard Mazoyer) and a core member of the TRAIL <http://trail.labex-univ-bordeaux.fr/> Laboratory of Excellence. The GIN is a multidisciplinary research unit gathering scientists with initial training in mathematics and instrumentation, cognitive neurosciences, signal processing and databasing. One objective of the current GIN research project is to develop new tools to characterize and describe the gray matter anatomical connectivity networks. Within this area we have a position for a 2 years Post Doc. *Description of the position* Recent work on brain connectivity modeling revealed that the topographic organization of this connectivity is not limited to large-scale anatomical pathways generally observable in diffusion MRI, thus reinforcing the interest of studies focusing on the characterization of cortical structural connectivity and its variability. Therefore, the estimation of relevant grey matter connectomes strongly relies on the choice of an ad'hoc cerebral parcellisation. We propose a post doc project to first implement a probabilistic cortical atlas derived from cortical parcellisations defined individually to optimally extract cortical thickness and volume of each individual. The second aim of the post doc project is to compute cortical structural connectivity to quantify the inter-individual variability of brain organization together with the effects of specific factors such as gender, manual preference, functional lateralization or cognitive skills. The strength of the present project is that it will benefits from the already acquired BIL&GIN database composed of 453 healthy volunteers balanced for gender and handedness. Hence, the first probabilistic cortical atlas will be operated over a large sample, the 453 participants having been previously pre-processed. *Qualification and experience*** The qualified applicant should have a PhD in neuro-image analysis, cognitive neuroscience, computer science or related field and a background in neuroimage processing. Applicants should have experience with existing tools for analysis of neuroimaging data (SPM, FSL, Freesurfer.) and a relevant programming experience (MATLAB). For further information, please contact Dr. Fabrice Crivello (fabrice.crivello(a)u-bordeaux2.fr <mailto:fabrice.crivello@u-bordeaux2.fr>). Employment and payment are determined by Bordeaux University (2 400 € per month, net salary). Job location is in Bordeaux, France. Interested candidates should send their applications including CV with full publication list, the names and contact information and a summary of research interests to fabrice.crivello(a)u-bordeaux2.fr <mailto:fabrice.crivello@u-bordeaux2.fr>.
