Fwd: postdoc position at MIT
by Gary Green 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

POSITION OPENING: We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher for a 1-year position (possibly extendable by another year), to work in an interdisciplinary project investigating the representation of semantic information in the brain and how it is used during sentence comprehension. The project is a collaborative effort across the labs of Ev Fedorenko (MGH/MIT) and Nancy Kanwisher (MIT), within a team in the IARPA Knowledge Representation in Neural Systems program, led by Francisco Pereira (Siemens). The ultimate goal of the team is to build a computational model of the process of language comprehension at the sentence and/or text level, and validate it with behavioral and brain imaging data. Target start date is as soon as possible. RESPONSIBILITIES: Leading one or more components of the project, including designing experiments, collecting and analyzing data (plus overseeing data collection / analyses carried out by graduate students / lab tech working on this project), presenting the results at conferences, and writing up the results for publication. The interdisciplinary nature of the project means that we will be carrying out experiments to inform the building of models of semantic representation of words and sentences from text corpora and curated resources. These will, in turn, be used to help design more informative experiments or carry out other analyses. This presents a unique opportunity for a postdoc to acquire new skills; for example, if the postdoc has a cognitive neuroscience background s/he will be expected to interact closely with the model developers in the team and learn about and leverage the techniques that they use. REQUIREMENTS: We are looking for individuals with a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Psychology, Cognitive Science, or related fields. Strong quantitative skills are a must. Other desirable knowledge / skills include: i) machine learning, ii) natural language processing, and iii) collection, preprocessing and analysis of brain imaging data (using SPM, FSL or AFNI). SEND APPLICATIONS TO: Ev Fedorenko (evelina9(a)mit.edu). Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.

YNiC "Project Presentations" - why we do them
by Andre Gouws 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Before any research group starts a new project at YNiC, or when existing projects make significant changes and additions to their study, a ‘YNiC project presentation’ has to be made. Recently, David Coggan gave an excellent presentation that (more importantly) gave rise to constructive debate and discussion about the methods he is using and his recent research findings. His presentation and the following discussions are the essence of what these project presentations should be about. We have however received feedback that the reason for these presentations, and in some instances the ‘value of’ these presentations, is unclear to many. A few even perceive them to be a hurdle. We will take a few minutes to clarify why we encourage these presentations. What these presentations shouldn’t be seen as: • Practice job talks where you’re going to get difficult questions • A ‘rite of passage’ to use the facilities • A chance to steal ideas What these presentations should be seen as: • An opportunity for you to gain feedback on your research plan: Do not underestimate the wealth of experience in the wider YNiC community. Just think how many of our colleagues are currently running experiments, writing manuscripts and dealing with reviews; Colleagues who have tried to do similar things on the hardware you’re using and already have code to do most of it (.. this has happened ..); Colleagues who can lend you a better monitor to make your measurements on; Colleagues who have just come back from a conference and seen a poster on something very similar (.. this happens often ..); Colleagues who know that the ‘simple tweak’ you think you are making to your attention task actually has significantly higher processing demands on the brain; And what about the colleague who knows that you’ve missed a paper that has already published the result you’re after back in the 50’s (.. even this has happened ..)? Remember also that the presentations are often attended by colleagues from outside the Psychology department who may be able to give you insight into an application for your research, or a twist on your research that could lead to translational impact (.. this has happened and has lead to several grants ..). • An opportunity to assess your needs: Often, things that are trivial to do in a psychophysics lab do not translate trivially into a scanning environment. There may even be hardware or software changes on the horizon that may have an impact on your research plan: these are unlikely to be negative but can often be positive. Until we know what you are planning to do it is impossible to assess your needs. • (Counter-intuitively) An opportunity to get things moving faster: You will know that the project presentation is undertaken before the submission of the formal research ethics application. Although the detail in the ethics application is scrutinised and technical issues are raised, this process is typically slower as it has to be a ‘formal’ review of your research plan. When you receive this feedback, you may then have to make amendments and resubmit for trivial reasons that you have not taken into account in advance of the submission. Presenting your plan informally to an audience which (more than likely) includes the people who are going to review your formal ethics application can really help to speed the application process up. In short, project presentations are not meant to be a mechanism that is supposed to put another hurdle in your path; this process is intended to help you sail over many of the potential hurdles ahead that you may not even have thought about yet. So, who actually needs to do a project presentation? • All new projects (i.e. those that do not already have a project number at YNiC); • All projects with significant amendments to their current research ethics application (e.g. studies that are applying to the ethics committee to use a different set of stimuli or studies that want to tag on extra scans to tell them about structure in the brain). This excludes studies making small technical changes (e.g. making the scan a bit longer, showing a few more stimuli, changing the TR of the scanner, scanning 5 extra subjects to ramp up the power of their results). Do note that when any amendments are made to your protocol, the research ethics committee has to be notified even if a new presentation is not required. We look forward to hearing many more of your presentations in the future and very much look forward to being able to help you where we can (or just leaving you to it if you’ve got everything in hand). Please feel free to reply with any suggestions or comments.

Fwd: 2 Years Post Doctoral Position in Bordeaux - France
by Gary Green 07 Feb '15

07 Feb '15

Please find enclose a 2 years post-doctoral position in Bordeaux - France * * *2 Years Post Doctoral Position 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.

*PhD position for 24 months, EEG project on monitoring processes and cognitive control* The Department of Statistical Methods, Psychological Assessment, and Evaluation, University of Bonn, Germany, is seeking for a talented PhD student. Applications are invited for a PhD position in a project recently granted by the German Research Foundation to Prof. André Beauducel and Prof. Anja Leue. The successful candidate will work on acquiring novel data using multi-channel EEG (Biosemi system), applying methods to investigate the spatio-temporal dynamics and electrophysiological bases of conflict monitoring and cognitive control, with specific emphasis on individual differences of the effect of different experimental conditions on conflict monitoring and cognitive control. The successful candidate will work in a team interested in the temporal dynamics of monitoring processes and cognitive control. Our modern EEG Lab comprises a 64 and 128 active channel EEG system, the opportunity to apply recent EEG analysis methods and dipole source modeling. The laboratory is located in the above-mentioned department. Bonn is a multicultural city that provides a high-degree of quality of life with vibrant cultural and social events that relate also to Cologne (1/2 hour away) or Brussels (about 2 hours away). Candidates must have a master degree (Bologna process) or a diploma in Psychology, Neuroscience or a related discipline. For the PhD candidate, programming skills in Presentation and Matlab are a plus, and a previous experience in EEG experiments and signal processing is desirable but not required. This position is available from 01-March-2015 or as soon as possible thereafter, for two years. Salary is related to the German salary system entitled TV-L (grade: TV-L 13, 65%). Interested candidates are kindly asked to send their curriculum vitae, certificates, a letter describing their motivation to become a PhD in our EEG research group.

Dear all, Open positions @ Brainntome Center. http://brainnetome.org/en/recruitment.html *Job 1: PhD Positions in Neuroimaging and Neuroscience, Beijing, China Brainnetome Center* *Applications Deadline: March 15 , 2015. * *Brainnetome Center* Brainnetome Center ( www.brainnetome.org <http://www.brainnetome.org/>) at Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA) is one part of CAS Center for Excellence in Brain Science. Researchers at the Brainnetome Center work on a wide topics in neuroimaging and brainnetome, such as, neuroimaging, brain networks, new neurotechnique development, simulating and modelling, and their applications in neurological and psychiatric diseases, to discover the molecular, cellular, and brain network mechanisms that underlie the ability of the brain to function. Neuroscience is entering an era of accelerated discovery driven by the application of new molecular, genetic and imaging technologies, which will provide a deeper understanding of the regulation and function of the nervous system. Significant advances in determining the molecular regulation of nerve cell function and development will have a major impact on our understanding of more complex areas such as behaviour, cognition, ageing, neurological disease and mental illness. The researchers of Brainnetome Center is to promote excellence in neuroscience by fostering the exchange of ideas, establishing new collaborations and augmenting partnerships that already exist within the wider Chinese brain science and information technology communities. *The role* Convergent evidence has shown that most psychiatric disorders are associated with faulty brain networks. In order to understand how the brain works and the pathophysiological mechanism of psychiatric disorders, it is necessary to integrate the multi-level network features obtained with various functional and anatomical brain imaging technologies on different scales. We have proposed a new concept of "Brainnetome" to represent such integration framework. Our Center here closely collaborates with researchers at Queensland Brain Institute of University of Queensland in Australia, INSERM Lyon in France, and Research Center Juelich in Germany to study basic theory, methodologies, algorithms and platform of the Brainnetome at multiple scales, and their applications in neurological and psychiatric diseases. It envisions that the brainnetome will become an emerging co-frontier of brain imaging, information technology, neurology and psychiatry. Some long-standing issues in neuropsychiatry may be solved by combining Brainnetome with genome. Several PhD positions are available at Brainnetome Center of CASIA to utilise neuroimaging technologies to discover mechanisms of brain networks. These positions will be supported by CAS-TWAS President's Fellowship Programme for PhD Candidates (http://twas.org/opportunity/cas-twas-presidents-phd-fellowship-programme). They involve developing neuroimage analysis methods and tools and applying them to neuroscience and clinical problems. In this role the students will develop skills in developing computational algorithms and computer programming in neuroimage analysis that could be utilised in both basic research and clinical areas. *The person* Applicants should meet the requirements of "CAS-TWAS President's Fellowship Programme for PhD Candidates" and have MSc degree in one of the following fields: neuroimaging, neuroscience, neurobiology, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry, neurology, computer science, electronic engineering, mathematics, and physics.

A summary of the project is given below.* ** Pex3 protein is required for peroxisome genesis and degradation, and peroxisomes in turn are needed for metabolic processing of very long chain fatty acids. /PEX3/ mutations in humans are known to cause severe diseases that include hearing impairment, but we know nothing about the pathological basis of this. This project involves analysing a new mouse mutation of /Pex3/ that has been found by a large-scale screen to show high frequency hearing impairment. The student will investigate if the hearing loss is progressive, what underlying pathological processes occur in the auditory system, and how peroxisomes and lipids are affected in the mutant. The mutant allele will be manipulated using Flp and Cre recombinases to establish whether deafness results from a local (inner ear) effect or a systemic effect of a lack of Pex3 activity, and to ask if adult onset of reduced Pex3 activity also leads to hearing impairment. These experiments will guide future development of therapies for mild peroxisome defects, which may underlie some forms of progressive hearing loss due to mild genetic variants or due to environmental challenges.
