Fwd: Job Post: RA position in clinical neuroscience at Emory University

by Gary Green

Dear all, A research assistant/lab manager position will be available starting late summer/early Fall 2014 in the Translational Research in Affective Disorders Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at Emory University. Research in the lab focuses on understanding the biological underpinnings of psychiatric symptoms related to reward processing, such as anhedonia, stress sensitivity and altered cost/benefit decision-making. We take a translational approach to these questions, drawing from the fields of behavioral neuroscience and reinforcement learning to test theories about the molecular and circuit-level mechanisms that give rise to these symptoms. Primary methods include multimodal neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, MRS, and PET), behavioral paradigms, computational modeling, and clinical/personality assessment. /_Responsibilities:_///Responsibilities include assisting with all aspects of research (designing/programming experiments, recruiting/running participants, analyzing behavioral and neuroimaging data), grant and IRB administration and overseeing day-to-day lab operations. This is an excellent position for anyone seeking research experience and training in clinical and cognitive neuroscience before applying to graduate programs. /_Necessary skills/qualifications_/: A bachelor's degree or higher in cognitive science, neuroscience, computer science, psychology, math, biology, or other related field. Strong computer programming skills (especially MATLAB and/or Python) are required. Should be self-motivated, independent, and reliable. Strong organizational and communication skills are also essential. Research experience in affective, clinical or cognitive neuroscience (e.g., conducting and analyzing fMRI or MRI studies), behavioral experiment administration, IRB management, or clinical interviewing experience will all be viewed positively, but are not required. The position is for a two-year commitment. Interested parties should email a CV, names of relevant professional references, and a brief statement of interest to Michael Treadway: mtreadway77(a)gmail.com <mailto:mtreadway77@gmail.com> Many Thanks, Michael

The CIMCYC is composed by several research teams devoted to the study of all aspects of Psychology, encompassing Clinical and Health Psychology, Human Development, Applied Psychology, Higher Cognitive functions and social interactions. Home to the Functional Magnetic Resonance Unit of the University of Granada, the leading neuroimaging tool of Southern Spain, the CIMCYC hosts and trains over 250 researchers, and hold collaborations with over 50 researchers throughout the world. We will be pleased to support applications from post-doc researchers (who should have defended their PhD no longer than 10 years ago). We are mainly interested in profiles for professionals with proven experience in research employing MRI in humans, from the field of psychology, biology, physics, or engineering, who are proficient in the acquisition and analysis of MRI human data. Applications are to be filled-in in Spanish, although projects can be written in English. The research project should not exceed one page in length, and should include two further sections specifying the impact of the scholarship for the applicant’s career development and the relevance and impact for research performed in Andalucia (with no specified word count). Deadline for final applications is the 26^th April 2014, and the resolution is expected for the 26^th July 2014. For any further information please contact Maria Ruz (mruz(a)ugr.es <mailto:mruz@ugr.es>)

Fwd: Postdoc visual attention research project

by Gary Green

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher in the international NWO/ESRC/DFG-funded ORAplus-cooperation project 'Tracing the template: Investigating the nature, capacity and dynamics of implicit and explicit attentional sets‘ (Profs. C. Olivers, Amsterdam; M. Eimer, London; H.J. Müller, München, S. Pollmann und M. Hanke, Magdeburg). An attentional template is a flexible representation reflecting the system’s current preferences, as derived from continuously changing task demands as well as prior selection history. The project investigates the content, capacity, format and neural representation of attentional templates. To pursue this goal, the project partners will cooperate closely, using diverse methods, including eye-movement recordings, EEG and fMRI. For the fMRI-studies that will be carried out centrally in Magdeburg, we are looking for a postdoc with fMRI-experience. This position offers an excellent opportunity to work with both an international consortium of attention researchers and in one of Germany's leading imaging facilities. Research institutions in Magdeburg, such as the Otto-von- Guericke-University, the Leibniz-Institute for Neurobiology, and the German Center for Neuro-Degenerative Diseases, offer a multitude of research-dedicated MRI-scanners (Siemens Magnetom (7 Tesla), Siemens Trio, Siemens Verio, Siemens Skyra und Philips Achieva). The Institute of Psychology operates its own compute cluster for data analysis. This research project is performed in close collaboration of the project partners, including the opportunity to spend research stages at the participating institutions.
