Fwd: POST DOCTORAL POSITION at The Neurofunctional Imaging Group in Bordeaux
by Gary Green 18 Oct '14

18 Oct '14

POST DOCTORAL POSITION in BORDEAUX The Neurofunctional Imaging Group (GIN) is a CNRS-CEA joint research unit of the Bordeaux University (UMR 5296, dir. Bernard Mazoyer) and a core member of the TRAIL Laboratory of Excellence. The GIN is a multidisciplinary research unit gathering scientists with initial training in mathematics and instrumentation, cognitive neurosciences, signal processing and databasing. One objective of the current GIN research project is to develop new tools to characterize and describe the gray matter anatomical connectivity networks. Within this area we have a position for a *2 years Post Doc*. *Description of the position* Recent work on brain connectivity modeling revealed that the topographic organization of this connectivity is not limited to large-scale anatomical pathways generally observable in diffusion MRI, thus reinforcing the interest of studies focusing on the characterization of cortical structural connectivity and its variability. Therefore, the estimation of relevant grey matter connectomes strongly relies on the choice of an ad'hoc cerebral parcellisation. We propose a post doc project to first implement a probabilistic cortical atlas derived from cortical parcellisations defined individually to optimally extract cortical thickness and volume of each individual. The second aim of the post doc project is to compute cortical structural connectivity to quantify the inter-individual variability of brain organization together with the effects of specific factors such as gender, manual preference, functional lateralization or cognitive skills. The strength of the present project is that it will benefits from the already acquired BIL&GIN database composed of 453 healthy volunteers balanced for gender and handedness. Hence, the first probabilistic cortical atlas will be operated over a large sample, the 453 participants having been previously pre-processed. *Qualification and experience* The qualified applicant should have a PhD in neuro-image analysis, cognitive neuroscience, computer science or related field and a background in neuroimage processing. Applicants should have experience with existing tools for analysis of neuroimaging data (SPM, FSL, Freesurfer.) and a relevant programming experience (MATLAB). *For further information, please contact Dr. Fabrice Crivello (**fabrice.crivello(a)u-bordeaux2.fr <mailto:fabrice.crivello@u-bordeaux2.fr>**).* *Employment and payment are determined by Bordeaux University (2 400 € per month, net salary). Job location is* *in Bordeaux, France. Interested candidates should send their applications including CV with full publication list, the* *names and contact information and a summary of research interests to **fabrice.crivello(a)u-bordeaux2.fr <mailto:fabrice.crivello@u-bordeaux2.fr>**.* Dr. Fabrice CRIVELLO Groupe d'Imagerie Neurofonctionnelle UMR 5296 - CNRS CEA Université Bordeaux Université de Bordeaux 146, rue Léo Saignat CS 61292 33076 Bordeaux Cedex Mob : +33 618 064 753 Tel : +33 547 304 402 Fax : +33 547 304 394 www.gin.cnrs.fr <http://www.gin.cnrs.fr> See my publications : https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Fabrice_Crivello

YNiC seminar today
by rem 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Dear Users This afternoon (from 4 pm in B020) Jonny Smallwood will be giving a project proposal presentation on "Exploring the affective and semantic influences of self-generated thought in old and young people." Abstract: This project will explore how the affective and semantic influences on self-generated thought in old and young people. We will record resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging data as well as structural data in a cohort of old and young individuals. In a separate laboratory session they will also complete a battery of tests measuring controlled and semantic processing as well as scene construction. In the laboratory we will also examine heart rate variability during rest and tasks. Finally, we will measure the content of thought in these individuals as they complete simple laboratory tasks. Using these data we will examine how semantic and affective processes vary with neural and psychological indicators of unconstrained thought, and how these are altered by age. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be served afterwards. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

by Gary Green 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

*Vacancy for fMRI postdoc in Leuven, Belgium* We are looking for a bright and motivated postdoc to work on a research project in which we will use brain imaging and advanced brain decoding methods to investigate the fine-grained structure of object and face representations in the human visual brain, including the dependence of this functional organization upon experience during development and in adulthood and possible interactions with brain disorders. The position is funded as part of a starting grant from the European Research Council. Eligible candidates should have or should soon obtain a PhD in a relevant field such as neuroscience, psychology, medicine, neurobiology, or biomedical sciences. Experience with brain imaging (in particular functional magnetic resonance imaging) is mandatory, and should be demonstrable with a relevant and competitive publication record. A computational background, good computer skills (e.g., Matlab), and international mobility would be a strong plus. Good English (oral and written) communicative skills are necessary. The position is full-time, for a period of 2 years, and starts preferably in March-May 2015. We will also support the candidate to apply for further personal funding at a longer term. Teaching and/or administration load will be minimal. The research group of Hans Op de Beeck in the Laboratory of Biological Psychology (KU Leuven, Belgium) currently includes 6 scientists working full-time on human brain imaging, with in addition several researchers focusing upon animal models (for further information, see http://ppw.kuleuven.be/home/english/research/lbp/lbpMembers/00029058). We have access to state-of-the-art technical facilities (e.g., several 3T MRI scanners available) and ample opportunities for interaction with other local experts on brain imaging, cognitive and systems neuroscience. The KU Leuven is consistently ranked within the top of European Universities and is located in the city of Leuven, which has an strong international appeal. For more information about our university, please visit http://www.kuleuven.be/about/ Formal applications should be sent by email to Hans Op de Beeck, and should include a scientific CV, motivation letter, and the names and contact information of 2 senior researchers who would be willing to provide a recommendation (no letters have to be sent yet). Application deadline is November 20^th 2014.^ For further information please contact Hans Op de Beeck (hans.opdebeeck(a)ppw.kuleuven.be <mailto:hans.opdebeeck@ppw.kuleuven.be>), who will also be present at the upcoming meeting of the Society For Neuroscience in Washington DC.

We are particularly interested in candidates who approach the study of cognition at different points of development from the perspectives of cognitive neuroscience (e.g., fMRI, ERP), or behavior genetics (e.g., epigenetics), or both. Scientists who focus on cognition (especially memory, attention, perception, or language) in infants and children, young adults, and/or the elderly are welcome to apply for this position. Each candidate should have an excellent record of research productivity, the potential to develop an independent and internationally recognized research program, and a commitment to teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Having active grant funding and/or a successful history of grant support is desirable. This position is intended to expand our training programs in cognitive and developmental psychology. UNC is the home of numerous research centers and core facilities providing outstanding opportunities for collaborations and research support. To apply use the electronic submission website at http://unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/60157 and submit the following electronic materials: curriculum vitae; personal statement describing qualifications and research and teaching interests; and up to five reprints or preprints. Please also submit email addresses for four individuals who will provide letters of reference to this electronic submission website. The search committee will begin reviewing applications November 15, 2014 and will continue to review new applications until the position is filled.
