Fwd: PhD Position at the Interface of Psychology, Behavioral Economics, Neuro-economics, and Computational Neuroscience
by Gary Green 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

PhD Position at the Interface of Psychology, Behavioral Economics, Neuro-economics, and Computational Neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany, Department of Social Neuroscience led by Prof. Dr. Tania Singer The position has been created within the framework of an new INET project (http://ineteconomics.org). The cooperation will consist of a small group of four researchers (two postdocs and two PhD students), under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Tania Singer (1 Postdoc position and 1 PhD position at the MPI in Leipzig) and Prof. Dr. Dennis J. Snower (1 Postdoc position and 1 PhD position at the Kiel institute). The INET group will combine empirical research methods from psychology and neurosciences, focusing on motivation, social cognition and emotion, with behavioral economics methods (game theoretical paradigms). Moreover, computational models will be applied with the goal to provide a broader understanding of how motivation influences human economic decision making, for instance in the context of public-good problems. The general goal is to provide empirical evidence for the formulation of new economic models based on human biology and psychology. The position at the MPI is part of an interdisciplinary department that investigates the foundations of human social behavior and, more specifically, the developmental, neural, and hormonal mechanisms underlying social cognition and social emotions. The successful candidate has a solid education in behavioral economics (game-theoretical paradigms) and/or neuro-economic methods (MRI) combined with knowledge and strong interest in motivational psychology and/or social affective neurosciences (including pharmacological interventions such as oxytocin, cortisol, etc). Knowledge of computational neuroscience would be advantageous. The position is primarily devoted to research, with no teaching and minimal administrative duties. The Max Planck Institute (http://www.cbs.mpg.de) offers an international research environment, with English being the language spoken in the laboratory. It offers an excellent infrastructure (e.g., three human 3T and one 7T MRI, rt-fMRI, TMS/tDCS, MEG, behavioral laboratory, etc.). The department also has additional behavioral laboratory space in Berlin, which is located just an hour by train to the north of Leipzig. For further details, see http://www.cbs.mpg.de/dept/singer, http://www.uni-kiel.de/snower, http://ineteconomics.org, or contact Prof. Dr. Tania Singer (singer(a)cbs.mpg.de). Applications (including a CV, list of publications, statement of research interests, and contact information of 3 referees) should be sent as a single PDF file, with your name as the file name, to Tania Singer (singer(a)cbs.mpg.de) and Sandra Zurborg (zurborg(a)cbs.mpg.de). Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to the MPI in Leipzig, Germany. The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer and explicitly encourages women and handicapped individuals to apply.

Reminder: MEG research group meeting
by Markus van Ackeren 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Dear all, just a quick reminder for the MEG research group meeting today, at 3.30pm in C108 (Department of Psychology). Michael Simpson will tell us about 'The Difference Stability Index (DSI): Resolving previously irreconcilable differences in your data'. An analysis metric that provides some depth and stability to the relationships in your MEG data which previously appeared to be only superficial. This talk will help to orientate you to this metric, and may adapt you to a new way of thinking about evoked response analyses. Best, Markus -- Markus J. van Ackeren PhD Student Department of Psychology University of York YO10 5DD, UK Email: mjva500(a)york.ac.uk

Dear all, Due to another event in the Department that clashes with the MEG research group meeting, I shifted the time of the MEG meeting to 3.30pm. The date and place have not changed (Monday, 28th July in C108). I apologise for the late notice and any inconvenience this might cause. I accidentally sent this message to a different ynic mailing list, and only just realised my mistake Best, Markus -- Markus J. van Ackeren PhD Student Department of Psychology University of York YO10 5DD, UK Email: mjva500(a)york.ac.uk

Fwd: Job opportunity: Functional MRI (fMRI) Development Team Leader
by Gary Green 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Dear All We currently have a vacancy for the post of "functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Paradigm Design Team Leader" in the Department of Neuroimaging at the Institute of Psychiatry (IoP). There's a little more "blurb" after my signature, below, but for full details, or to apply, please see: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/depsta/pertra/vacancy/external/apply.php?id=16844241 (Please note that the closing date has recently been extended until 26th August, so don't panic if it looks like you've missed the date on this!). Thanks Gareth _____________ Gareth J Barker, Professor of Magnetic Resonance Physics, King's College London, Institute of Psychiatry, Box 089, DeCrespigny Park, London, SE5 8AF, UK Tel: +44 20 3228 3059 Fax: +44 20 3228 2115 In parallel to its academic and teaching roles, the Department of Neuroimaging runs a Major Research Facility (MRF) which provides Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning services to researchers with King's College London (KCL) and external collaborators. The MRF includes human scanning facilities (based in the Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences (CNS) and the NIHR Wellcome Kings Clinical Research Facility ("CRF")) and pre-clinical imaging in the James Black Centre. The Department's main focus is in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and in particular functional MRI, but it is also involved in Psychological and other Neuroimaging modalities. The post holder will be responsible for the planning, development, implementation and management of the resources needed to implement paradigms for the dynamic neuroimaging studies run within the MRF, and more widely with our national and international collaborators. The successful applicant will be responsible for the day to day operations of the MRF paradigm design team, including developing and implementing policy& procedures. They will also have a "hands on" role in developing - alongside other team members - innovative solutions for presentation of a wide range of stimuli and recording of participants' overt, covert, physiological and other responses. As such, it is expected that they will have significant experience in paradigm design and development, as well as the aptitude to lead and motivate other team members. Operating in a key support role to researchers both within the Institute and the wider MRI community, a professional, approachable and proactive approach is essential.
