Re: Registration, Safety, Consent, Anomaly policy changes
by Gary Green 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Dear Users There have been some significant changes to some key YNiC policies, procedures and documentation. These changes are briefly described here. 1) The anomalous finding policy has changed fundamentally. The new policy is intended to be more transparent to participants and researchers. The new procedures can be found on this page https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/policies 2) This new policy has required changes to be made to the following documentation i) Clinical Diagnostic Policy ii) RGC Guidance iii) Participant registration and consent forms All of these new documents are available on the wiki. All scanning will be conducted using the new documentation. 3) Participant registration and General Consent form. This is now a single A4 page. It is version controlled. Once signed by a participant it is stored both electronically and in paper form in the YNiC reception office. If the form is modified in the future all participants will be required to complete the new version before being scanned again. Scanning will only be performed if there is a signed version of the 'current' Registration and Consent form available. 4) Participant Safety and Consent form. This form has undergone significant reworking. The safety form will now be completed at each attendance and the participant will verify their address and their GP's address as part of completing the form. At booking it is now possible to insert the R number of the participant. If this is done, customised safety and consent forms are automatically created and made available, at reception, for collection by the research team on the day of the scan This step has the advantage that the safety form is explicitly completed and signed by all concerned for all attendances (as would be the case in a clinical setting) and ensures that, in the event of changes to the safety form, the participant always completes an up to date and appropriate form. Upon completion of the scan these forms will be digitised and stored securely. The paper version will then be destroyed. Therefore, to reiterate, all participants will be required to complete the new Registration and consent form. You will still be required to bring both the 'Registration and Consent form' and the completed 'Safety and Consent' form with you to the scanner. Note, you still need to complete your own project specific consnet form and the administration of this remains the responsibility of the project research team. A summary can be found here https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ProceduralInfo Please keep an eye on this page as we will be adding further information in the near future

Fwd Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship in Affective Neuroscience available at Kent State University
by Gary Green 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Pending budgetary approval, the new Kent Electrical Neuroimaging Laboratory (KENL), a consortium of faculty from the departments of Biology, Psychology, and Sociology at Kent State University, seeks outstanding applicants for a post-doctoral research fellowship beginning June 1, 2014. This full-time, one-year Fellowship is renewable for an additional year (contingent on success). Salary and benefits are consistent with NIH guidelines. The successful candidate will work closely with consortium faculty to participate in productive multidisciplinary research programs and seek extramural funding. The Research Fellow will have access to professional development opportunities (e.g., methods workshops, grant-writing seminars), a stipend for books, travel, supplies, etc., and additional resources (e.g., small research and consultation awards). KENL’s research is enriched by strong, collaborative ties with local universities and hospitals, including University Hospitals (UH), Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), and the Cleveland Clinic. *Qualifications* KENL is dedicated to successfully creating a self-sustaining program of research broadly focused on elucidating the neurobehavioral correlates of individual/social functioning and well-being. We seek a post-doctoral Research Fellow, who has completed (or will complete by the start of the position) a PhD in in cognitive and affective neuroscience and who already possesses expertise collecting and analyzing EEG data. Ideally, the Research Fellow will also possess the background and expertise to assist with collaborative fMRI studies with our strategic partners at UH/CWRU and the Cleveland Clinic. Additional training and expertise in EEG and fMRI will be available as the Research Fellow participates in on-going studies and contributes to new research projects and grant applications. Current projects focus on learning and disease processes (Dr. Clements, Biological Sciences), the neurobehavioral bases of normative and disordered emotion regulation and the neurobehavioral bases of mindfulness meditation (Dr. Fresco, Psychology), as well as the multi-level neural and social substrates of empathy, social bonding, and morality (Dr. Kalkhoff, Sociology). The Research Fellow will nominally have an appointment within the Department of Psychology, but will work with KENL scholars on existing projects and will be encouraged to initiate their own program of research. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. /Kent State is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer/. Send application materials, including statements of research interests, curriculum vitae, copies of publications and other supporting materials, and three letters of recommendation by email to Ms. Sandra Thouvenin (sthouven(a)kent.edu <mailto:sthouven@kent.edu>).

Fwd: ISMRM British Chapter Postgrad Symposium 2014
by Gary Green 10 Feb '14

10 Feb '14

I am writing on behalf of the local organizing committee to invite you and your postgraduate / postdoctoral colleagues to attend the 23^rd Postgraduate Symposium of the British Chapter of the ISMRM, which will be held in Cardiff on 11^th April. For those who have already been to the PG-Symposium, you know what a valuable experience this for the students and more senior academics.First, it provides a great opportunity for students to present their work in a relaxed and friendly setting and to receive constructive feedback on their work. Second, it provides a great networking opportunity for all attendees. Thirdly, it provides a very rich ‘snapshot’ of the current MR research activity in the UK. I’ve always come away slightly humbled by the quality and breadth of research being presented and I know that the students appreciate having an academic representation in the audience. This year’s event,thanks to generous support of our sponsors, is being held in a wonderful location (The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama),with great catering.We’re also able to offer some substantial prizes to students giving the best presentations at the meeting. The aim is to carry on the usual tradition of a very lenient acceptance rate so as to give as many students as possible a chance to present their work either as oral, poster-pitch or traditional poster. Please could I ask you to encourage as many of your student lab members as possible to attend the meeting.It’s completely free to attend, but we do need people to register in advance.Our postgrad/postdoc team, headed by Jess Steventon and Esther Warnert, have assembled a great programme, with scientific debates being a new feature for 2014. Please visit our website: http://sites.cardiff.ac.uk/pgbcismrm2014 for more information, and registration. I’d be grateful if you could promote this within your centre and help us to make this a real UK-wide activity.Questions / more information available via email at: cubric-ismrm2014(a)cardiff.ac.uk <mailto:cubric-ismrm2014@cardiff.ac.uk> <mailto:cubric-ismrm2014@cardiff.ac.uk> …and as mentioned above, academics are absolutely more than welcome!I promise that it will not rain! Many thanks in advance for your help and support Derek Jones
