We would like to invite applications for the post of Research Worker in
Neuroimaging Data Analysis.
This position will be fixed term until 02 February 2016 and is a
full-time post.
The successful candidate will play a key role in collecting and
analysing multimodal neuroimaging and neurodevelopmental data from a
longitudinal cohort of young adults who were born very preterm. The
successful candidate will become part of the Preterm Research Group,
which is studying the effects of being born preterm on subsequent
neurodevelopment, cognition and behaviour. The project, funded by the
Medical Research Council, aims to investigate neurodevelopment into
adulthood following very preterm birth.
First, the study will assess their cognition (including learning
disabilities, memory and attention) and mental health. Second, the study
will use various neuroimaging techniques to examine how the brain
changes as people grow into adults. The aim of the study is to define
for the first time maturational patterns associated with the risk of
poor outcome, as well as those associated with developmental resilience,
and thus guide the design of remediation strategies to be implemented at
very preterm individuals at younger ages aimed at reducing or preventing
long-term disability. Working closely with Lead Investigators, the
successful candidate will contribute to the successful conduct and
completion of the research programme.
He/she will play a key role in conducting and supporting neuroimaging
data analysis and integrating current data with those collected
longitudinally. Experience using SPM, Freesurfer, FSL, AFNI, machine
learning methods is preferred, as well as proficiency in multiple
programming language types and the ability to choose proper tool(s) to
apply to specific projects including compiled (Java, C++), shell
scripting, Perl, Python and MATLAB.
The successful candidate will also be involved in postgraduate teaching
and will be encouraged to develop his/her own research interests.

Dear NeuroImager,
Please find [1]here a summary of a post-doctoral project related to the
Strategic Human Brain Data subproject of the [2]Human Brain Project.
Ideally, the successful candidate should start the post-doc on end
2013/early 2014.
The research focus of this proposal is to build a functional atlas of the
human brain: by repeatedly scanning a limited number of subjects with a
large class of functional localizers (retinotopic, tonotopic, somatotopic,
visual categories, space and number, language, social cognition, resting
state) together with high-resolution anatomy and diffusion-weighted scans,
we wish to accumulate spatially resolved functional information on this
group of subjects. The resulting activation maps will provide an objective
basis to inform the definition of brain regions, and compared to similar
resources (human connectome project etc.). The uniqueness of the dataset
will consist in the variety of cognitive functions tested.
The post-doc will be in charge of setting a set of protocols up and
running, take part to the set of acquisitions performed on Neuropsin 3T
scanner at high resolution, analyse it with the help of the engineers and
researchers of the Parietal team. He/she will be involved in the design
choices for the initial steps of the project and in the ensuing
meta-analyses and performance. The work will be carried out at Neurospin,
Saclay, France, in close collaboration with the [3]unicog team.
We offer a salary of 32 kE/year. The position is for two years. For more
details, please contact [4]Bertrand Thirion.
Please do circulate this announcement. Thank you in advance for your help.
Best,
Gael, relaying Bertrand Thirion

Dear colleagues,
The *Collaborative Research Center* 1052 "Obesity mechanisms" at the
Leipzig
University Hospital is offering a*PhD* studentship in *computational
modelling
*under the supervision of Dr Jane Neumann and Dr Annette Horstmann. The
project
investigates decision-making and feedback-related processes in humans by
combining
computational modelling with functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
and
behavioral assessment.
The PhD position will be based at the *Max Planck Institute for Human
Cognitive
and Brain Sciences* in the beautiful city of *Leipzig*. Both Leipzig‘s
long tradition in
conducting neuroscientific research and the ultra-modern equipment at
the Institute
provide an environment that offers new perspectives in neuroimaging
research.
Applicants should hold a Master's degree in one of the following
disciplines: computational
or cognitive neuroscience, computer science, mathematics, physics,
cognitive science
or related. Prior experience in the field of computational neuroscience
and/or neuroimaging
are of advantage. Sound knowledge of statistics and excellent
programming skills are
essential. A good command of written and spoken English is requested of
all applicants.
Please send your application as a single pdf-file to neumann(a)cbs.mpg.de
<mailto:horstmann@cbs.mpg.de>referring to
"SFB 1052, modelling". Complete applications include cover letter, CV,
letter(s) of
recommendation, and copies of university degrees and additional
certificates.
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Jane Neumann (neumann(a)cbs.mpg.de
<mailto:horstmann@cbs.mpg.de>)
(+49 (0) 341 99 40 26 21).
The salary is based on the German E 13 TV-L salary scale. In order to
increase the
proportion of female staff members, applications from female scientists
are particularly
encouraged. Disabled applicants are preferred if qualification is equal.
Deadline for application: until position is filled
Dear all,
The next MEG/EEG research group meeting will be held on September 19, 12.15pm in B204, Department of Psychology.
Rebecca Millman will talk about: Methods and application of phase amplitude coupling, and I will support her with some simulations.
Phase amplitude coupling has received a lot of attention in recent years. The general aim is to quantify cross-spectral interactions in electrophysiological data (e.g., MEG,ECoG). If you would like to know more about the technique before the meeting, I recommend the following very accessible papers by Bradley Voytek.

Shifts in gamma phase-amplitude coupling frequency from theta to alpha over posterior cortex during visual tasks
Hope to see you all in September.
Best,
Markus
