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.

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>.

Fwd: Postdoctoral research positions, University of Nottingham
by Gary Green 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '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. Applications can be made at: http://jobs.nottingham.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?id=3148&forced=1 Closing Date: 10^th December 2014 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>.

Fwd: PhD position
by Gary Green 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

We have an PhD position available at the ISVR, Southampton: ISVR-HABC-114: Optimizing the detection of cortical auditory evoked potentials in hearing aid fitting verification See http://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=59050 for details. Hearing aids are now routinely fitted to infants as young as 6 weeks of age, following hearing screening. After fitting it is desirable to test whether the infant has access to auditory input, but before the age of 6-8 months it is not possible to carry out conventional clinical tests. In patients with dementia or learning difficulties, there are similar challenges. There is growing clinical interest in using Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential (CAEP) to address this. CAEPs are obtained by recording the electrical signals from the brain (EEG signals, recorded by electrodes on the scalp) during auditory stimulation. Through appropriate signal processing methods, the specific responses to the stimuli can be extracted. The current project will extend our previous work in this area by developing, testing and optimizing signal processing and statistical methods to detect the presence of CAEPs in the recorded signals, using data from healthy adults and small groups of patients (obtained with the assistance of clinical audiologists). Successful applicants will have to demonstrate good knowledge of signal processing and statistics. While prior knowledge of audiology or evoked potentials is not required, some practical experience with biomedical applications of signal processing will be a distinct advantage. ISVR has one of the UKs leading academic groups in audiology, with undergraduate, MSc and PhD programmes training professionals for clinical and research environments. The project will be supervised by Prof. David Simpson and Dr. Steven Bell, who have a background in biomedical signal processing and audiology, respectively. The work will be carried out in collaboration with industry with co-supervision from Dr. James Harte (Interacoustics Research Unit, Copenhagen, Denmark). Funding support comes from the Oticon Foundation (Denmark), and the project is expected to include a short stay (approximately 3 months) in Copenhagen. Funding covers living costs and home/EU (not overseas) student fees. If you wish to discuss any details of the project informally, please contact Prof. David Simpson, Human Sciences Group, ISVR, Email:ds@isvr.soton.ac.uk <http://www.findaphd.com/search/EmailEnquiry.aspx?fapjid=59050&LID=1427&EA=d…> Tel: +44 (0) 2380 59 3221, or Dr. Steven Bell, Human Sciences Group, ISVR, Email: slb(a)soton.ac.uk <http://www.findaphd.com/search/EmailEnquiry.aspx?fapjid=59050&LID=1427&EA=s…> Tel: +44 (0) 2380 59 4950 -- Dr. Stefan Bleeck, Associate Professor Hearing and Balance Centre, Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, Faculty of Engineering and the Environment, University of Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK Room 4093, Tizard Building (13), bleeck(a)gmail.com <mailto:bleeck@gmail.com> Tel.: 02380 596682
