Fwd:: 2 PhD positions available
by Gary Green 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

On behalf of the principal investigator, Dr. Prof. Carles Escera: Dear colleagues, The Barcelona BrainLab (BBL) <http://www.ub.edu/brainlab/angles/welcome.htm> invites applications for two 3-year PhD studentships commencing during the fall 2014 in the field of the cognitive neuroscience of auditory perception. Our current project investigates how the auditory system encodes for acoustic regularities and what are the neural mechanisms of novelty detection, at all hierarchical levels and temporal scales of the auditory system. We run EEG, MEG and fMRI experiments, and analyze event-related brain potentials and magnetic fields, as well as oscillatory activity and synchronization. By recording the Frequency Following Response (FFR) and functional MRI, we recently showed that the inferior colliculus is involved in deviance detection. Also, our MEG results revealed recurrent networks of regularity encoding in human auditory cortex. We are seeking for talented graduates in any field related to the Neurosciences /(Psychology, Cognitive Sciences, Computer Sciences, Medicine, Biology, Engineering, Physics)/. Applicants must have 1) EU citizenship, 2) a completed Bachelor and Master degrees at the time of application 3) the highest academic marks, 4) and computer skills (e.g., Matlab programming is desirable). Applicants are asked to submit their CV, a motivation letter, and a copy of the academic marks record (in ECTS format) electronically to Ms. Marta Turró at brainlab(a)ub.edu <mailto:brainlab@ub.edu>. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Candidates are expected to enter the PhD Program in Biomedicine <http://www.ub.edu/doctorat_biomedicina/eng/index.htm>, and to be willing to work hard and travel across the world as part of their training. The studentship will provide a stipend of circa 15,000 EUR/year. *********************************************************** Marc Recasens Fusté, PhD student.

** If you have a doctorate or postdoctoral training in systems neuroscience, and you are interested in studying tinnitus, we may have a great position for you. We are a well-established and growing research team studying age-related changes of the nervous system, with a strong focus on age-related synaptic changes which may contribute to functional declines both in the peripheral (age-related hearing loss) and central nervous system (tinnitus). One of our funded projects is to study tinnitus in our transgenic mouse models with both functional (chronic recording of neuronal activities plus behavior testing) and molecular approaches. Our team includes two principle investigators with backgrounds in neuroscience and molecular biology. We also work within the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology with ten investigators in the area of auditory neuroscience. The ideal applicant will support current and planned experiments in tinnitus and hearing loss, and also will want to develop his/her own research interests. Applicants should have excellent skills in scientific writing, experimental design, data analysis, and management of a research team. We like to think that the intellectual environment of our group, and the many colleagues with which we have close interactions, are as exciting as the university where our work takes place. We look forward to hearing from you. *To be considered for this opportunity, please email directly to Dr. Jianxin Bao at **jbao(a)neomed.edu* <mailto:jbao@neomed.edu>*.* *AA/EOE M/F/D/V* Jasmine Grimsley, Ph.

Dear colleagues You might be pleased to hear that the MRI scanner is now fully working again. After quite a bit of work, it was discovered that the gradient controller unit had to be replaced. This has been done and Ross has been soak testing by performing a large number of EPI scans since and the machine is behaving itself again. phew Gary -- --------------- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre & Centre for Hyperpolarisation in Magnetic Resonance The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY tel +44 (0) 1904 435349 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004 http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk http://http://www.york.ac.uk/chym/ https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg PA : Claire Fox tel +44 (0) 1904 435329 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 Claire.Fox(a)ynic.york.ac.uk
