Postdoctoral Position in Neuroeconomics, Cognitive Control, and Aging Washington University, St. Louis Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at Washington University in St. Louis, to work on a NIH-funded research project investigating neural and psychological mechanisms involved in economic decision-making in older adults. Research will involve the integration of methods from functional neuroimaging, behavioral economics, and reinforcement learning. A key feature of the project is the use of innovative experimental paradigms that enable discovery of fundamental neural mechanisms involved in economic decision-making, determination of how cognitive control interacts with affective and motivational factors, and how these components and their interaction are impacted by advancing age. The successful applicant will work closely with project PIs Todd Braver (ccpweb.wustl.edu), Leonard Green (http://psych.wustl.edu/lengreen/), and Joel Myerson, and will also have the opportunity to interact with the highly collaborative and inter-disciplinary community at Washington University, St. Louis. We have access to state-of-the-art neuroimaging facilities that include Siemens research-dedicated Skyra and Trio 3T fMRI scanners, as well as the mMR PET-MRI scanner, and behavioral testing facilities with eye-tracking (EyeLink 1000), psychophysiological monitoring (BioPac), and substantial computational infrastructure, including the Center for High-Performance Computing (chpc.wustl.edu). The position will involve participation in all levels of the research investigation. Candidates should have a Ph.D (or about to be awarded one) in psychology, neuroscience, or a related field, with a background that might include, but is not limited to functional neuroimaging, neuroscience of aging, neuroeconomics, or economic decision-making. Substantial experience with fMRI, programming, and statistical analysis is preferred. Additional skills in mathematical modeling and multivariate approaches are desirable. The position is available immediately and applications will be considered until the position is filled. This is a full-time, minimum 2-year position, with competitive salary and benefits commensurate with NIH guidelines. Candidates should send a CV, a statement of research skills and interests, and a list of 3 references to Dr. Todd Braver at tbraver(a)wustl.edu Additional information on this position is available at https://hr.wustl.edu/

YNiC seminar today

by rem

Dear Users This afternoon (from 4 pm in B020) David Watson will be giving a project proposal presentation on "A hypothesis- and data-driven investigation into the role of low-level visual cues in scene processing". Abstract: Human ventral visual cortex has been noted to contain regions showing selectivity for scenes, including the Parahippocampal Place Area (PPA), Retrosplenial Complex (RSC), and Occipital Place Area (OPA). Here we propose two fMRI experiments investigating the role of low-level visual properties in the representation of scenes within such regions. In the first case we propose a hypothesis driven experiment investigating how neural representations of scenes are affected by disruptions to the local statistics of the images. In the second case we aim to measure the neural response to “clusters” of scenes defined using an entirely data-driven approach based upon the relative similarity of their image properties. In both cases multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) will be used to investigate how such manipulations influence the representation of scenes in the human brain. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be served afterwards. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

YNiC seminar 9th October

by rem

Dear Users This Thursday (from 4 pm in B020) David Watson will be giving a project proposal presentation on "A hypothesis- and data-driven investigation into the role of low-level visual cues in scene processing". Abstract: Human ventral visual cortex has been noted to contain regions showing selectivity for scenes, including the Parahippocampal Place Area (PPA), Retrosplenial Complex (RSC), and Occipital Place Area (OPA). Here we propose two fMRI experiments investigating the role of low-level visual properties in the representation of scenes within such regions. In the first case we propose a hypothesis driven experiment investigating how neural representations of scenes are affected by disruptions to the local statistics of the images. In the second case we aim to measure the neural response to “clusters” of scenes defined using an entirely data-driven approach based upon the relative similarity of their image properties. In both cases multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) will be used to investigate how such manipulations influence the representation of scenes in the human brain. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be served afterwards. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Postdoc / RA job ad: structural image analysis for the dHCP <https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrisliverecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobs…> See https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrisliverecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobs… Graduate/Postdoctoral Researcher - Image Analysis and Software for Connections Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford Grade 7: £30,434 - £37,394 with a discretionary range to £40,847 p.a. The Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain (FMRIB) seeks a graduate or postdoctoral researcher/programmer to work with Professors Mark Jenkinson and Stephen Smith in the FMRIB Analysis Group. Employment would ideally start in November/December 2014, is fixed-term and funded by the European Research Council for a period of 3 years in the first instance, as part of the Developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP). The dHCP is a collaboration between King’s College, FMRIB and Imperial College and will chart the growth of connections in the human brain, before (in utero) and after birth in 1000 babies using diffusion and functional MRI. The postholder will work on the “structural” aspects of connectome modelling, including the spatial modelling of cortical surfaces, as well as developing analysis pipelines (software development and scripting) for the overall analysis of the dHCP connectome image data. This will also involve porting connectome analysis pipelines from the US-based Human Connectome Project to the dHCP, and interacting with the structural image processing research and informatics that will be carried out at Imperial as part of the dHCP. Candidates should have skills in computer programming (ideally shell scripting, Matlab and C++), and ideally also experience with image analysis research/programming.
