Fwd: Job Announcement: Post-Doctoral Research Worker (Neuroimaging Data Analysis)‏ at King's College London

by Gary Green

Post-Doctoral Research Worker (Neuroimaging Data Analysis) King's College London 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. *27 days annual leave, plus additional college closure days at Easter and Christmas *This post is superannuable under the USS pension scheme For an informal discussion of the post please contact the PI, Chiara Nosarti, Reader in Neurodevelopment and Mental Health, on 0207 848 0133, or via email at chiara.nosarti(a)kcl.ac.uk.

Fwd: Post-doc proposal: Charting the human brain with fMRI

by Gary Green

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.

Fwd: Postdoctoral Fellow Position on a Multi-Modal Infant Neuromaging Study

by Gary Green

*_Job description:_* National University of Singapore (NUS) is a leading global university centre in Asia. It offers a global approach to education and research, with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise.Computation functional anatomy laboratory at NUS (http://www.bioeng.nus.edu.sg/cfa) focuses on brain and cognition studies using neuroimaging techniques. Our group is leading a large-scale longitudinal infant neuroimaging project from birth in Singapore. The project examines neurocognition using EEG and eye trackers and brain development using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), resting-state fMRI, and structural MRI. Thus far, we have collected both functional and anatomical imaging data of 200 newborns and their follow-up at six months. The follow-up scanning at 4, 6, and 8 years will start soon. We are looking for a research fellow who is interested in developing and (or) employing pattern recognition approaches to understand the relationship of the brain with psychopathology in early life. We offer high salary with medical and other benefits. *_Requirements:_* ·Ph. D or MD ·Research background on infant brain is preferable but necessary ·Knowledge in statistical analysis is necessary ·Good communication and writing skills in English language If you are interested in the jobs listed above, please send your CV to Associate Prof. Anqi QIU Department of Bioengineering National University of Singapore Email: bieqa(a)nus.edu.sg <mailto:bieqa@nus.edu.sg> Phone: +(65) 6516 7002 **

Fwd: PhD position - computational modelling

by Gary Green

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

MEG research group meeting September

by Markus van Ackeren

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. http://knightlab.berkeley.edu/statics/publications/2013/03/25/phaseamplitud… 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 ----------------------------------------- Markus J. van Ackeren PhD Student Department of Psychology University of York YO10 5DD, UK Email: mjva500(a)york.ac.uk
