Christmas Party money collection

by Catarina Teige

Hi all, I will be coming round ynic this Monday (14.10.13) between 9 am and 10:30 am, and Tuesday (15.10.13) between 2 pm and 3 pm to collect menu choices (attached) and money for the Christmas party. Guests and partners are very welcome (one guest per person) should you wish to bring them. *Dietary Requirements* The chef at The Churchill says he can cater for any dietary requirement. We will take a preference for food choices and also write by each option the particular dietary requirement (e.g. gluten-free). Hopefully the chef will be able to make that dish with the specific dietary requirement, but if not, then I'm sure he will make a tasty alternative. If you are unable to be there at these times but would like to come to the party, it would be great if you could leave your choices with somebody else able to be there, or alternatively arrange a time to come see me in the psychology department (or arrange a time with Rich Harris who is also responsible for collecting money from ynic staff). For reference, Tuesday is the deadline for payment. Hope to see you all there! Cheers, Catta

Resting state workshop 10th of October

by Jonny Smallwood

Hi Everyone As some of you may be aware we will hold a workshop at YNIC focused on resting fMRI on the 10th of October. The purpose of this workshop will be to familiarise attendees with the techniques and applications of resting state both as a powerful tool for realising brain structure and function, but also to consider its applications for understanding the mind. Everyone is welcome and there is no cost to attend. See attached flyer for further details. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Please forward to people you think maybe interested. Jonny

Fwd: Postdoc Position in Modelling Functional Whole Brain Connectivity from fMRI

by Gary Green

*Postdoc Position in Modelling Functional Whole Brain Connectivity from fMRI* * * DTU Compute, Technical University of Denmark would like to invite applications for a 1-year Post Doc position starting as early as 1 November 2013, with possibility for an extension to two years. *Project Description* Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become a key non-invasive brain imaging technique used to quantify the functional connectivity of the brain. While this imaging modality can be used to derive connectivity estimates inferring the global patterns of functional connectivity at the whole brain level poses an important modeling challenge. The main goal of this project is to develop and apply tools for the modeling of whole brain functional connectivity based on fMRI data. Key components in the project include fMRI data processing and connectivity analysis using Bayesian modeling approaches. The project will be based on current work on non-parametric Bayesian models of brain connectivity and will be part of a larger project “Non-parametric Relational Modelling of Functional and Structural Brain Connectivity” funded by the Lundbeck Foundation (2012-2017) aiming at inferring whole brain connectivity from fMRI and diffusion MRI data. *Qualifications* Candidates must have a PhD degree in engineering or equivalent academic qualifications. Experience in multivariate modeling approaches for neuroimaging data in general and fMRI data in particular is a definite advantage. Proficiency programming in Matlab and using fMRI neuroimaging software is also important while the applicant is expected to have a basic knowledge about the human brain. Excellent communication skills in English are essential. *We offer* We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading technical university in northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the world. *Salary and terms of appointment* The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed with the relevant union. *Further Information* Further information concerning the available position can be obtained from Associate Professor Morten Mørup <mailto:mm@imm.dtu.dk> at Section for Cognitive Systems, DTU Compute, Technical University of Denmark or Senior Researcher Kristoffer Hougaard Madsen <mailto:kristofferm@drcmr.dk>at Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance, Centre for Functional and Diagnostic Imaging and Research, Copenhagen University Hospital Hvidovre. *Application procedure: *Please submit your online application no later than *20 October 2013*.
