by Gary Green

On behalf of Dr Nikolaus Weiskopf, I am distributing the following job ad: UCL INSTITUTE OF NEUROLOGY Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging Research Associate/Senior Research Associate in Real-Time fMRI Applications are invited for a Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging (WTCN), UCL Institute of Neurology, London, UK, under the supervision of Dr Nikolaus Weiskopf. The WTCN conducts cutting-edge research by means of functional and structural brain imaging, and is equipped with three 3 T whole body MRI scanners (Siemens Tim Trio), an MEG system (CTF/VSM), and MR compatible EEG and TMS systems. One of the MRI systems is equipped with an optical tracking system for ultrafast prospective motion correction (Kineticor). The successful candidate will join the EU FP7 collaborative BRAINTRAIN project which aims to use real-time fMRI to train patients to regulate their own brain activity via neurofeedback training, and thus modulate the brain networks of mental disorder. The project brings together the core groups that have been instrumental in the development of methods for real-time fMRI-based neurofeedback, and have led in the initial clinical applications in neuropsychiatric disorders. The post holder will work on methods for improving real-time fMRI both in terms of data quality and accessibility by developing ultrafast fMRI pulse sequences, methods for reduction of image artifacts, tailored image reconstruction methods (e.g. advanced parallel imaging) and methods for fast data transfer. Applicants must have a PhD in physics, biomedical engineering, computer science, or a comparable subject. If not already held, the PhD must be obtained by the agreed start-date (Research Associate applicants). A strong background in MR physics and image reconstruction or data analysis is essential, as is strong expertise in programming high-level languages (e.g. C/C++, Matlab). Applicants must be specialists in at least two of the following areas: Siemens/GE/Philips MR scanner operation and software, advanced MR image reconstruction, pulse sequence programming, real-time fMRI methods, functional MRI, SPM/Brainvoyager. Applicants for the Senior Research Associate position will also need to demonstrate an established publication track record and experience of leading a team of researchers or project management. The post is available immediately and is funded by the EU for two years in the first instance. Starting salary in the range of £32,375 - £39,132 pa on UCL Grade 7 (Research Associate) or £40,126 - £47,441 pa on UCL Grade 8 (Senior Research Associate) including London Allowance, superannuable.

Fwd: Open plan closure in new year

by Gary Green

Dear all, Due to building work in the open plan area, to support the increased numbers of students, YNiC's open plan area will be closed to users from the start of January for around two weeks. The open plan area will re-open to users on Monday January 13th. MRI, and MEG will not be affected during this time although users will not be able to store their belongings in the open plan area. Remote access should be largely unaffected except during periods when the power or local network has to be turned off for new cabling to be installed. We will provide more information when it becomes available. Please also note that we will be making an announcement about the location of ynic seminars once we have been updated about the availability of space in Psychology (or elsewhere).
