Biocentre bike sheds
by Gary Green 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Dear Users York Science Park have issued this notice ------------ Works will be commencing w/c 24th February on upgrades to the Biocentre bike store security and facilities and will hopefully be completed by the end of that week, weather permitting. A brief description of upgrade works is as follows: All gates to be re hung for extra strength and security. The two middle gates will be permanently closed, which will create extra room for bike stands. The two end gates will be fitted with Digi-locks and used as access and egress to the bike store. The codes for these will be given out on request once the works are completed. The original bike stands will be reinstalled to give a more organised layout, leaving room for users to manoeuvre easier. Extra wall hung bike racks will also be installed. Any regular users who require advanced notification of the code for the gates are requested to inform us of their contact details by return of this notice. We plan to complete the works in two sections, which would result in half the store being out of action during this work, then moving onto the other half once completed. We apologise in advance for the disruption these works might cause but we are confident that the extra security will be a massive benefit to cycle users in the future. Regards YSPL Team York Science Park Ltd T: 01904 435100 E: enquiries(a)yorksciencepark.co.uk W: www.yorksciencepark.co.uk --

Fwd:Postdoc position, University of Cambridge
by Gary Green 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

*Postdoctoral Researcher (Cam-CAN)* *University of Cambridge, Department of Psychology* *Vacancy Ref: PJ02734* ** *Salary: £28,132 - £36,661 pa* Applications are invited for a post-doctoral scientist to join the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN, www.cam-can.com). This centre brings together a large group of researchers across the University of Cambridge and at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (MRC-CBSU) who aim to relate brain changes to cognitive changes over the adult lifespan (covering ages 18-88). The appointee will work with a unique population-representative sample of 700 adults on whom we have collected extensive cognitive and neural measures. A subset of these individuals will be run in a further set of fMRI and MEG studies designed to probe major cognitive functions. The Cam-CAN project will integrate across these data-sets using a variety of methods, relating changes in neural structure and function over the lifespan to changes in cognitive function and capacity. The role of the postholder will be to undertake analyses of the 700 participants’ dataset, carry through the second stage fMRI and MEG studies, and play a key role in integrating across cognitive and imaging data-sets e.g. using multivariate and multimodal neuroimaging analysis methods. The postholder will have a strong background in imaging and imaging statistics, and cognitive and/or physiological ageing. Candidates should have, or be in the final stages of obtaining, a PhD in one of the following relevant areas: cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging methods, applied statistics, or machine learning. Knowledge of and experience in advanced imaging analyses, particularly connectivity analysis is essential, and it would be an advantage to have some direct experience of MEG/EEG and/or fMRI. Excellent statistical, computer programming (including MATLAB and/or Python) and MEG analysis (SPM, Fieldtrip) skills are essential. Postdoctoral experience would be an advantage but is not essential. Candidates should be thorough, efficient, able to communicate effectively, and enjoy working as part of an energetic interdisciplinary team. The Centre has access to a research-dedicated 3T Siemens MR scanner, EEG and MEG facilities housed at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge. Applications should be made online via the University of Cambridge Web Recruitment System. To apply online for this vacancy and to view further information about the role, please visit: http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/3195.

High winds - closure of our main entrance
by Claire Fox (secretary for Gary Green) 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Dear all, Due to the high winds, we have been informed by the York Science Park Facilities Manager *NOT* to use The YNIC/CHyM entrance door. There is a notice on the front door but please advise anyone you are expecting, to use the Park Central cafe entrance and walk through the Bio centre to YNiC. Keyfob access for YNiC entrance / exits will be deactivated this afternoon to allow CHYM staff and visitors access through the Bio Centre. There is sufficient concern that further sheet metal could be blown off the Bio centre roof so please *do not* use the YNiC entrance. Thank you for your cooperation. Best wishes, Claire -- Claire Fox PA to Professor Gary Green The York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way Science Park York YO10 5NY Tel: 01904 435329 Fax: 01904 435356 Email:Claire.fox@ynic.york.ac.uk Website:https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/ E-mail disclaimer: http://www.york.ac.uk/docs/disclaimer/email.htm
