Fwd: POST DOCTORAL POSITION at The Neurofunctional Imaging Group in Bordeaux

by Gary Green

POST DOCTORAL POSITION in BORDEAUX 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 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>**.* Dr. Fabrice CRIVELLO Groupe d'Imagerie Neurofonctionnelle UMR 5296 - CNRS CEA Université Bordeaux Université de Bordeaux 146, rue Léo Saignat CS 61292 33076 Bordeaux Cedex Mob : +33 618 064 753 Tel : +33 547 304 402 Fax : +33 547 304 394 www.gin.cnrs.fr <http://www.gin.cnrs.fr> See my publications : https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Fabrice_Crivello

We will record resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging data as well as structural data in a cohort of old and young individuals. In a separate laboratory session they will also complete a battery of tests measuring controlled and semantic processing as well as scene construction. In the laboratory we will also examine heart rate variability during rest and tasks. Finally, we will measure the content of thought in these individuals as they complete simple laboratory tasks. Using these data we will examine how semantic and affective processes vary with neural and psychological indicators of unconstrained thought, and how these are altered by age.
