Fwd: Live streaming of the UCLA/Semel Advanced Imaging Summer program begins 7/21/14

by Gary Green

FYI ------------------ On behalf of the course organizers, I am very pleased to announce that the Eighth Annual UCLA/Semel Advanced Neuroimaging Summer Program will be streamed *live beginning at:* *08:30 PDT (15:30 GMT) July 21, 2014 through July 31, 2014* The complete schedule can be found on the *program web site* <http://www.brainmapping.org/NITP/Summer2014.php>, together with slides, exercises and other didactic materials as they become available. There you will also find links to the streaming video, and to our lecture archive, so that you can watch in the comfort of your own time zone. The UCLA Neuroimaging Training Program Summer Course is designed for advanced users, from graduate students to tenured faculty, who have significant experience in research using functional imaging, especially functional MRI. This year's program will cover a broad range of topics including data acquisition, experimental design, fMRI data processing, anatomical imaging, machine learning and others. The course schedule is available now at http://www.brainmapping.org/NITP/Summer2014.php. Each year, the emphasis of the course differs. For the 2014 program we will be paying special attention to ways in which cutting-edge applications of functional MRI, and its related methods, can help answer big questions in neuroscience. Our goal in so doing is to help gain perspective on fMRI's role. As always, we will include extraordinary international faculty, who will present didactics in slides and talks, and who will interact one-on-one with the course attendees. Attendees will design, run and analyze experimental studies directed at unresolved questions in neuroimaging, using the extraordinary research facilities available to the UCLA NeuroImaging Training Program. We hope that you will take advantage of the program. Please share this announcement with your colleagues. --/Mark Cohen/ The UCLA Neuroimaging Training Program is funded by generous awards from the National Institutes of Health, grant numbers R90 DA022768 and T90 DA023422

Fwd: Research Specialist position at Princeton University

by Gary Green

A Research Specialist position is available in Matthew Botvinick's lab in the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, in collaboration with Francisco Pereira at Siemens Corporate Technology. This is a position within a team participating in the IARPA Knowledge Representation in Neural Systems program. The goal of the program is to develop models of how the brain represents conceptual knowledge, and how that knowledge is used when carrying out tasks like reading a sentence. These models will be tested using brain imaging data. The main role in this position is as a programmer writing the code needed to build such models, while also being involved in experiment design and data analysis. Examples of tasks you might be asked to do: - prepare text corpora for use in developing models - implement evaluation tasks that the models developed will be benchmarked with - collect material from online resources and behavioral experiments - prepare stimuli for brain imaging experiments or model building - help in designing and carrying out brain imaging and behavioral experiments - analyze behavioral and brain imaging experimental data It is an unusual position in that you will be gaining experience in both machine learning and cognitive neuroscience. In addition to the core research goals, we will also be delivering a concrete system to the funding agency, and hence this will be a fast-paced project. You will be working directly with the PIs and also graduate students and research scientists in the team. Essential qualifications are experience developing software in MATLAB or Python (Perl is also useful), as well as an undergraduate degree in computer science, biomedical engineering, cognitive neuroscience or a related field. Preferred qualifications are knowledge in natural language processing, machine learning, and collection, preprocessing and analysis of brain imaging data (e.g. SPM, FSL or AFNI). The final candidate will be required to pass a background check successfully. This is a 1 year position, starting as soon as possible, with an additional year possible contingent on funding availability and performance. To apply, please go to https://jobs.princeton.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/Welcome_css.jsp and use “Search Open Positions” with requisition number 1400452. Please email francisco.pereira(a)gmail.com <mailto:francisco.pereira@gmail.com> with any pre-application inquiries.
