Fwd: Postdoctoral position in multimodal neuroimaging of decision making

by Gary Green

We are looking to appoint one postdoctoral fellow to make a leading contribution to an ESRC funded project on the neurobiology of human decision making using multimodal neuroimaging. The post will be based at the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology (INP) at the University of Glasgow (ranked 2nd in the UK by the Guardian), which benefits from on-site access to the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (CCNi). The CCNi is a research-dedicated facility within the INP and it is equipped with state-of-the art brain imaging facilities comprising a 3T fMRI scanner (Siemens Trio), an MEG system, and several TMS and EEG systems, including MR-compatible recording options. Our group uses multimodal neuroimaging coupled with mathematical modelling to characterise the spatiotemporal dynamics and the computational principles of the brain networks underlying human decision making. Our analysis methods are heavily inspired by machine learning and statistical pattern recognition and are designed to exploit trial-to-trial variability in electrophysiologically-derived measures that can be used in conjunction with simultaneously acquired fMRI to tease apart the cascade of constituent cortical and subcortical processes involved in decision making. The primary focus of the project will be to unravel the neural correlates of learning and confidence during decision making, which will form the basis for further development of brain computer interfaces (BCI) for human-machine interaction. The latter will take place in close collaboration with Prof. Paul Sajda’s team at Columbia University in New York with whom the selected candidate will have the opportunity to interact regularly. Candidates must have a PhD (or equivalent) in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science or in a related discipline. Candidates must have previous practical experience and working knowledge of human neuroimaging (including both EEG and fMRI) as evident by a strong track record of publications in international journals. The post holder must also have working knowledge of multivariate data analysis techniques, excellent programming skills in Matlab and previous experience in using either fSL or SPM analysis software. Previous experience in simultaneous EEG/fMRI experiments and computational modelling is desirable. This post will be available from 5th January 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter for three years. Salary: Grade 7 £33,242 – £37,394 per annum. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr. Marios Philiastides at marios.philiastides(a)glasgow.ac.uk.

Fwd: Post Doctoral Position

by Gary Green

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: Phd Place Ad

by Gary Green

*PhD Studentship * University of Sheffield, Department of Neurology *Qualification:*PhD *Funding for:*UK Students, EU Students *Hours*: Full Time Duration – three years *Project Description*** This 3-year PhD project will comprise of a number of studies, which will advance our understanding of the role of emotion regulation in patients with functional neurological symptoms (FNS). This understanding will have direct effects on the treatment of FNS. The PhD project will be based in the Department of Neurology at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital and in the recently established “Developmental Affective Neuroscience <http://levita-lab.group.shef.ac.uk/>” lab at the University of Sheffield led by Dr Liat Levita.** Functional neurological symptoms refer to neurological symptoms that are not explained by disease. They may also be called psychogenic, non-organic, somatoform, dissociative or conversion symptoms. The most common functional neurological symptoms are non-epileptic attacks and functional weakness.FNS make up about 20% of referrals to neurologists. This means that FNS are more common than conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson's Disease. About 50% of patients with functional neurological symptoms (FNS) have nonepileptic attacks (NEA). Despite the fact that FNS are common, the underlying causes of FNS remain uncertain. The current biopsychosocial aetiological model recognises a range of interacting predisposing, precipitating and perpetuating factors in which trauma and chronic stress and their effects on patients' ability to perceive their own distress and regulate their emotions play a key role. The improvement of emotion regulation is an important aspect of all of psychotherapies available for FNS. However, it remains unclear why patients with similar backgrounds may develop different FNS (for instance muscle weakness vs. NEA). What is more, previous work carried out by the applicants also shows that clear evidence of emotional dysregulation can only be identified in about 50% of patients. Another large patient group is characterised by higher somatisation scores but a relatively normal ability to feel and perceive emotions, emotion regulation and psychopathology. *Aims:*This projects aims to determine whether psychotherapy-associated improvements in functioning, health-related quality of life and distress are associated with changes in self-reported emotional processing in patients with FNS. It will also examine whether differences in emotion regulation patterns explain why different patients develop different functional symptoms. And finally this PhD project will explore whether FNS patients with normal self-reported emotional processing are regulating emotions normally or effectively (and pathologically) repressing emotions. * * *Suitable candidates* This project would suit a psychology, neuroscience or biomedical science graduate with an interest in clinical research and the neurobiology of emotion regulation. The PhD student would be jointly supervised by Professor Markus Reuber (Neurology), Ms Stephanie Howlett (Psychotherapy) and Dr Liat Levita (Psychology). *Enquiries* Interested candidates should in the first instance contact: Professor Markus Reuber (0114 2268763, m.reuber(a)sheffield.ac.uk <mailto:m.reuber@sheffield.ac.uk>) or Liat Levita (0114 2226651, l.levita(a)sheffield.ac.uk <mailto:l.levita@sheffield.ac.uk>).
