Fwd: Post-doctoral research position investigating brain connectivity

by Gary Green

We are currently inviting applications for a postdoctoral research position in the Max Planck Research Group for Neuroanatomy & Connectivity. Our research investigates the organization of connectivity in the human cerebral cortex using MRI. The research projects will address the topological structure of cortical connectivity patterns and their relationship to underlying cortical morphology. Specific topics may range from graph theoretical approaches and describing network structure to cortical developmental modeling and addressing data visualization challenges. The duration of the position is flexible, beginning with an initial period of two years. Candidates should have a PhD (or equivalent) in neuroscience, computer science, or a related discipline, with a strong background in data analysis and programming. Previous experience in neuroscience and working with brain imaging data is an advantage, but not a requirement. Applicants should nonetheless have an outstanding scientific track record with clear evidence of leadership and scholarly output in the form of publications and other achievements. The position is primarily devoted to research, with no formal teaching requirements, but ample opportunity to mentor graduate students. The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences offers a collaborative, international research environment with English being the language spoken in the lab. The Institute has a state-of-the-art research infrastructure, including several 3T scanners and one 7T MRI scanner, TMS/tDCS, EEG, MEG, etc, and substantial computing resources. Applicants are requested to provide a cover letter describing their qualifications and research interests, a curriculum vitae, and the contact information of at least two personal references. This should be sent as a single PDF file to personal(a)cbs.mpg.de with the subject heading “PD NC 14”. Please submit applications by September 15th, 2014. Starting date for the position is flexible, but ideally in the autumn of 2014. Salary is dependent on experience and based on standard post-doctoral MPI stipends. The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer, and international applicants are encouraged to apply.

Reminder: MEG research group meeting

by Markus van Ackeren

Dear all, just a quick reminder for the MEG research group meeting today, at 3.30pm in C108 (Department of Psychology). Michael Simpson will tell us about 'The Difference Stability Index (DSI): Resolving previously irreconcilable differences in your data'. An analysis metric that provides some depth and stability to the relationships in your MEG data which previously appeared to be only superficial. This talk will help to orientate you to this metric, and may adapt you to a new way of thinking about evoked response analyses.

MEG meeting: time changed!!

by Markus van Ackeren

Dear all, Due to another event in the Department that clashes with the MEG research group meeting, I shifted the time of the MEG meeting to 3.30pm. The date and place have not changed (Monday, 28th July in C108). I apologise for the late notice and any inconvenience this might cause. I accidentally sent this message to a different ynic mailing list, and only just realised my mistake Best, Markus -- Markus J. van Ackeren PhD Student Department of Psychology University of York YO10 5DD, UK Email: mjva500(a)york.ac.uk

The MRF includes human scanning facilities (based in the Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences (CNS) and the NIHR Wellcome Kings Clinical Research Facility ("CRF")) and pre-clinical imaging in the James Black Centre. The Department's main focus is in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and in particular functional MRI, but it is also involved in Psychological and other Neuroimaging modalities. The post holder will be responsible for the planning, development, implementation and management of the resources needed to implement paradigms for the dynamic neuroimaging studies run within the MRF, and more widely with our national and international collaborators. The successful applicant will be responsible for the day to day operations of the MRF paradigm design team, including developing and implementing policy& procedures. They will also have a "hands on" role in developing - alongside other team members - innovative solutions for presentation of a wide range of stimuli and recording of participants' overt, covert, physiological and other responses. As such, it is expected that they will have significant experience in paradigm design and development, as well as the aptitude to lead and motivate other team members. Operating in a key support role to researchers both within the Institute and the wider MRI community, a professional, approachable and proactive approach is essential.
