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>.
