Postdoctoral Fellowship Opening in Functional Neuroimaging, Development and ADHD We are recruiting for a postdoctoral fellow with expertise in functional brain imaging in the attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) group at the University of California, Davis MIND Institute. The MIND Institute is located on the medical school campus in Sacramento, CA. The position is available starting December 1, 2014. The focus of the ADHD program is to improve the lives of children, teens and adults who experience severe problems in attention, self-control or learning. While much of our work is in ADHD, we also study typical brain development, autism, fragile X, substance use disorders and general functioning in relationship to reward sensitivity. This position is based at UC Davis, however, it is jointly supervised by Dr. Samuel McClure, from the Decision Neuroscience Laboratory, at Stanford University along with Drs. Catherine Fassbender and Julie Schweitzer at UC Davis. The successful candidate will work on existing and new studies investigating the behavioral and neural correlates of cognitive and reward processing, including the developmental trajectories of these constructs in children, adolescents and adults with ADHD compared to typically developing individuals. In our laboratory we are also interested in the functional outcomes in individuals with ADHD (i.e. educational and/or occupational success). The laboratory draws on multiple methods of inquiry including clinical interviews, fMRI, psychophysiological measures, questionnaires and behavior. The position entails the collection and analysis of fMRI. physiological and behavioral data, preparing the data for publication and presentation at research conferences as well as writing grants and research papers. Additional opportunities such as acquiring and analyzing electrophysiological data are also available but not necessary for the position. Other duties will include gathering questionnaire data and supervising research assistants and graduate and undergraduate students. Qualifications for this position include a Ph.D. in psychology, neuroscience, or a related field; experience with fMRI acquisition and analysis; competent experimental and statistical skills; good interpersonal skills, the ability to work well in a team and to interact with and train other research personnel and the ability to creatively problem solve and trouble shoot technical issues. Experience with neuroimaging software programs (AFNI, FSL, MATLAB, SPM, or other relevant programs), programming tasks (E-prime, Presentation), and statistical analysis (SPM, SAS) is highly desired. Computer programming skills are also desired but not required for the position. Please address questions or send a letter of research interests, a CV and contact information for three references to Dr. Julie Schweitzer at Julie.schweitzer(a)ucdmc.ucdavis.edu.

Fwd: positions in MEG
by Gary Green 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

The Sir Peter Mansfield Magnetic Resonance Centre, University of Nottingham is seeking to recruit two Research Associate/Fellows in the field of magnetoencephalography (MEG). Successful candidates will work on developing and applying novel ways to measure and understand the intrinsic modes of functional coupling between functionally specific brain regions. Specifically, areas of development will include: i) New ways to model neural oscillations in local circuits; ii) Novel methods to characterize long range linear and non-linear coupling and iii) Measurement of dynamic changes in functional connectivity during basic sensory and cognitive tasks. In addition, since electrophysiological activity and connectivity is mediated by neurochemistry, successful candidates will also be involved in performing parallel ultra-high field (7T) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (^1 H and ^13 C) experiments in order to relate the concentration of cortical neurotransmitters (glutamate/GABA) to electrophysiological metrics in MEG. Finally these metrics will be applied in schizophrenia in order to gain new insight into how impaired network activity and connectivity underlies core symptoms. The University of Nottingham has been at the forefront of imaging since the introduction of MRI in the 1970’s. Indeed a rich history of novel developments resulted in the award of a Nobel Prize to Sir Peter Mansfield in 2003. The Sir Peter Mansfield Magnetic Resonance Centre (SPMMRC), now headed by Prof. Peter Morris, remains at the forefront of neuroimaging development with significant contributions in the fields of MRI, MEG, multi-modal imaging, and simultaneous EEG/fMRI. The Centre is equipped with a 275 channel MEG, 7T, 3T and 1.5T MR systems as well as MR compatible 64 channel EEG. In addition, a £9m investment by the Medical Research Council (announced in October 2014) will see upgrades to 7T and MEG as well as the introduction of wide bore 3T and upright MRI systems, to begin in 2015. Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) or be nearing completion in neuroimaging and strong interest/experience in developing methods plus an undergraduate degree in Physics, Engineering, Mathematics or appropriately related discipline. There are two fixed term posts available, one for two years and one for three years duration from 1 January 2015. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Matt Brookes, tel: 0115 9515188 or email matthew.brookes(a)nottingham.ac.uk <mailto:matthew.brookes@nottingham.ac.uk>.
