by Gary Green 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

Dear all, we are looking for one research assistant / PhD-student in a new research project at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin (group leader: Prof. John-Dylan Haynes), which aims to improve the diagnostic situation for patients suffering from different forms of dementia. The research assistant will work in a sub-project, in which different kinds of data (e.g. neuropsychological data, genetic information, structural/functional MRI, PET or DTI) will be combined (e.g. by a Bayesian network) for giving the best diagnosis. A prerequisite of this job offer are very good programming skills. For details, please see the job advertisement below (only in German). Please feel free to forward this mail to potentially interesting candidates. Thanks a lot and best regards, Kerstin Ritter ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, im Rahmen eines großen Verbundprojekts (iDSS: Integratives Decision Support System für die Diagnostik von Demenzerkrankungen bei stationären geriatrischen Patienten, Projektleiter Dr. Ralph Buchert und Prof. John-Dylan Haynes) suchen wir zum nächstmöglichen Zeitpunkt eine/n wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter/in (mit Möglichkeit zur Promotion). In diesem Projekt werden neue Biomarker basierend auf modernen Hirnbildgebungstechniken (z.B. funktionelle Magnetresonanztomographie [MRT] oder vessel imaging) erforscht und dann verwendet, um ein computerbasiertes Expertensystem zu entwickeln, das die Informationen verschiedener klinischer Bereiche (Neuropsychologie, Genotyp, fMRT etc.) integriert. Damit soll eine bessere Diagnostik von Demenzerkrankungen ermöglicht werden. Der/die wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter/in (TVöD-E13 65 %) wird in einem Teilprojekt der Arbeitsgruppe von Prof. Haynes mitarbeiten, das die Entwicklung des computerbasierten Expertensystems zum Ziel hat. Die Aufgaben umfassen die Entwicklung der Algorithmen zur multimodalen Datenintegration und die software-technische Umsetzung. Das Ergebnis soll ein patentfähiges Diagnoseinstrument sein. Wir bieten die Mitarbeit in einem engagierten und interdisziplinären Team bestehend aus Mathematikern, Physikern, Medizinern und Psychologen sowie die Möglichkeit eines spannenden Einblicks in die Hirnforschung an der Schnittstelle zwischen Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft. Voraussetzungen sind ein abgeschlossenes Studium in Informatik, Mathematik, Physik, Psychologie, Computational Neuroscience oder einem verwandten Fach mit überdurchschnittlichen Leistungen sowie sehr gute Programmierkenntnisse (z.B. Matlab und mindestens eine objektorientierte Sprache) und gute Deutsch- und Englischkenntnisse. Weiterhin erwarten wir ein hohes Maß an Eigenständigkeit und die Bereitschaft, sich mit Engagement und Flexibilität für dieses Projekt einzusetzen. Erfahrung im Bereich Bayesianische Netzwerke, Bildverarbeitung oder maschinelles Lernen ist wünschenswert, aber keine Voraussetzung. Die Stelle ist zunächst bis zum 30.6.2015 befristet.

Christmas Party money collection
by Catarina Teige 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

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

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
