I will have an opening in my laboratory <http://www.kylemathewson.com/> at the University of Alberta for one, and possibly two, excellent graduate students beginning in September 2015. If you or any of your colleagues have honours or research students who are interested in pursuing graduate studies in cognitive neuroscience of attention, including the electrophysiological and psychophysiological correlates of perception and cognition, please alert them to this opportunity. The official application deadline is 15 January 2015 to be considered for admission beginning in September 2015, however, applications will be reviewed as soon as they are complete. Please refer to our departmental web pages <http://www.psych.ualberta.ca/graduate/index.php> for information about our graduate program <http://www.psych.ualberta.ca/graduate/index.php>, and to my own web pages <http://www.kylemathewson.com/> for information about my current and recent research. I can also accept students through the Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute <http://www.neuroscience.ualberta.ca/GraduateProgram.aspx>. My brand new laboratory in the department of psychology is equipped with cutting edge electrophysiological monitoring equipment, including 64 channels active EEG systems in shielded chambers, as well as portable 16 channel amplifiers. We are able to measure brain, muscle, eye, and heart activity both during traditional laboratory tasks, as well as in real world applied situations like driving and sports. I plan for my graduate students to routinely attend local, national, and international conferences to disseminate their research findings as well as to network and establish contacts with like-minded scientists from other institutions. Importantly, my students and I have a record of publishing in top journals. I thank you in advance for thinking of my laboratory when advising your trainees about potential graduate school opportunities.

Fwd: Postdoc position in Cognitive Neuroscience - Leiden University
by Gary Green 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position in Cognitive Neuroscience Group leader: Sander Nieuwenhuis When: The post is available as soon as possible for 2 years Research project "Arousal, neural gain and cognitive function" Arousal has a wide variety of effects on human attention and performance, as documented in a rich empirical literature that was developed mainly before the 1980s. The computational and neural mechanisms underlying these effects, however, are still poorly understood. The goal of the present project is to revisit this literature and try to understand the relationships between arousal and cognition by applying recent computational models and insights about the role of neuromodulator systems in cognitive function (e.g., models of the noradrenergic modulation of neural gain). The newly developed ideas can then be tested using various methods, including fMRI, EEG, genetics, psychopharmacology, and pupillometry. Although much of the research will be focused on the brain, the main goal is to understand the basic mechanisms underlying the influence of arousal on cognitive function. Deadline for applications: 24 November 2014 For more information download the job ad at www.temporalattentionlab.com or contact snieuwenhuis(a)fsw.leidenuniv.nl

Fwd: PhD studentship, University of Manchester
by Gary Green 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

Please find below details on a funded PhD studentship at the University of Manchester (UK) exploring “Memory for surprising events –developing a predictive processing model of episodic memory”. Project outline: Hierarchical predictive processing is an influential computational framework for cognitive neuroscience, which offers an elegant computational model of perception and action. This project will use experimental psychology and fMRI methodologies to explore the insight this framework offers about human memory. We will test the idea that memory depends on surprise and that learning occurs only when the brain’s model of the world changes as a result of errors in predicting incoming stimuli, a suggestion recently extended to explain hippocampal and medial frontal cortex function. Project supervisors: Dr Talmi www.psych-sci.manchester.ac.uk/staff/talmi Prof Wittmann https://www.uni-giessen.de/cms/fbz/fb06/.../wittmann Prof Montaldi www.psych-sci..manchester.ac.uk/staff/126756/ Candidate characteristics: An excellent UG degree in a relevant discipline with a passion for cognitive neuroscience and memory. Experimental and computational skills would be an asset. Application details: Candidates selected for interview have 50% chance of winning funding for this 4-year studentship at the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Manchester. The 2015 round of MRC DTP projects are currently being uploaded to findaphd.com and the MRC DTP website: www.mhs.manchester.ac.uk/mrcdtp. Deadline: 26 Nov 2014 Expressions of Interest are being invited from candidates in the following form: - Academic CV - Official academic transcripts - Contact details for two suitable referees - A personal statement (750 words maximum) outlining suitability for the study, what they hope to achieve from the PhD and research experience to date.

22 Oct '14

*Postdoctoral Fellow Position on High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging* ** *_Job description:_* National University of Singapore (NUS) is a leading global university centre in Asia. It offers a global approach to education and research, with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise.Computation functional anatomy laboratory at NUS (http://www.bioeng.nus.edu.sg/cfa) focuses on mathematical modeling of anatomy and function of the brain from medical images. We are looking for candidate who is interested in the development of fundamental mathematical tools for handling HARDI data and new data-driven biological discoveries brought about by such novel modeling and analysis methods, that are otherwise unattainable in vivo. Our group is currently conducting large studies on normal aging and dementia that include HARDI, resting state fMRI, structural T1 data, and genetic data. The candidate will have unique opportunity to explore multi-modal imaging data in association with psychopathology and genetic regulation. *_Requirements:_* ·Ph. D or MD ·Research background on manifold, manifold learning is preferable ·Good communication and writing skills in English language If you are interested in the jobs listed above, please send your CV to Associate Prof. Anqi QIU Department of Biomedical Engineering National University of Singapore Email: bieqa(a)nus.edu.sg <mailto:bieqa@nus.edu.sg> Phone: +(65) 6516 7002

Fwd:Postdoc position: fMRI of number processing at NeuroSpin, France
by Gary Green 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Postdoc position: fMRI of number processing at NeuroSpin We are looking for a bright and motivated postdoc to join a research project related to the representation of number in the human brain which will use high-field / high-resolution functional imaging (at 7 Tesla). This position will be available within the INSERM Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit (www.unicog.org <http://www.unicog.org/>, directed by Stanislas Dehaene), situated at the NeuroSpin Center in the greater Paris area. The position is funded for 2 years within a 4-year project financed by the French National Research Agency (PI Evelyn Eger). The ideal candidate will come from a background of visual neuroscience, potentially including the processing of number. Previous experience in functional imaging is required (and would ideally include multivariate decoding and/or surface-based analysis), and good programming skills in either matlab or python will be a strong plus. Good communication skills in English (oral and written) are necessary. The intended starting date for the position is around July or September 2015. Formal applications should include a Curriculum Vitae, application letter with statement of research interests, and the names and contact information of two researchers who would be willing to provide a reference. Please send your application by email before 15^th December or address further questions to evelyn.eger(a)cea.fr <mailto:evelyn.eger@cea.fr>. Full contact information: Dr Evelyn Eger, INSERM U.992 Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit, CEA/Neurospin, Batiment 145, Point Courier 156, 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette, evelyn.eger(a)cea.fr <mailto:evelyn.eger@cea.fr>
