Dear all,
between 1pm and 2pm there will be a UCAS visit to YNiC. During the visit
access to the workstations will not be restricted, however as the
presentation area is likely to be quite crowded, please could you use
workstations towards the back wall of Open Plan during this period.
With thanks,
Michael

A 3-year PhD position is available at the Danish Research Center for Magnetic Resonance (Copenhagen) and the Technical University of Denmark.
The focus of the project will be on applying novel MR methods to significantly improve the sensitivity of MR electrical impedance tomography (MREIT). MREIT allows estimating the ohmic conductivity of tissue in-vivo. As such, MREIT is a potential novel diagnostic technique for tumor detection. In addition, it allows for a direct validation of the volume conductor models used in EEG/MEG source localization and in brain stimulation. The latter is highly needed as inaccurcies in the assumed ohmic conductivities of tissues pose a fundamental limitation on the accuracy of those models.
The work will be conducted in collaboration with the MR-Center at the Max-Planck Insitute in Tübingen (Germany).

The CMRR at the University of Minnesota seeks to recruit two additional
postdoctoral associates to join the WashU-UMinn Human Connectome Project
(HCP). The postholder will be actively working in the component of the
HCP that focuses on optimization of data acquisitions and data analysis
for resting state and task induced fMRI (R/T-fMRI), and diffusion
imaging for high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI), with
different subject populations. Responsibililties include: Data
acquisition and optimization at 3T and 7T, testing, debugging and
optimization at 3T and 7T, evaluating the performance with the RF coils
that will be developed within the HCP project, provide feedback and
evaluations on RF coil performance, and provide feedback regarding
resting state and diffusion data pre-processing.

time frequency data using SAS.*
My apologies for the short notice this time.
Hopefully see you all on Thursday.
Best,
Markus
Dear Users

Post-doctoral Position in Neuroscience of Language
Aarhus University
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scientist to support research into neurobiological foundations of language at the Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN), Aarhus University.
The successful Applicant will work on a 3-year research project funded by the Lundbeck Foundation, exploring the brain foundations of language (word learning in particular) using MEG, and carrying out specific scientific research in collaboration with line manager and other team members.
The postholder’s research will be centred on using MEG and on the spatio-temporal dynamics of the neural activity underlying speech and language processing in the human brain. Ideal candidates will therefore have experience in neuroimaging and in language research. Previous experience in using EEG or/and MEG is essential. Eligible candidates should hold a PhD or similar degree in a relevant discipline, including (but not limited to) psychology, neuroinformatics or neuroscience. The position is to be filled as soon as possible and is open for up to 3 years within the funding period allowed.
CFIN is an international multidisciplinary research centre based at Aarhus University’s Institute for Clinical Medicine, Denmark. Our research groups are supported by state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience facilities including research-only 306-channel TRIUX MEG system (Elekta Neuromag), fMRI systems (Siemens TIM Trio 3T, Magnetom Skyra 3T), PET, navigated TMS, EEG and eye-tracking equipment, Two-Photon Microscopy, etc., and have well-established clinical and other collaborations. See cfin.au.dk for more information. Aarhus University provides an inspiring international research environment with top neuroscience facilities, and is consistently listed among the world's best 100 universities. Aarhus is a dynamic university city located on the Baltic coast in continental Denmark and surrounded by nature; it offers very high living standards, rich cultural and intellectual life, outdoor activities, excellent restaurant/nightlife scene etc.
To apply, please go to http://www.au.dk/en/about/job/sun/academicpositions/
Additional information regarding this position can be obtained by contacting Professor Yury Shtyrov, head of MEG, CFIN: Yury.Shtyrov(a)cfin.au.dk
*Neuroimaging Research Technician--II*
A Neuroimaging Research Technician position is available in the VA
Boston Healthcare System (VABHS) Neuroimaging Research for Veterans
(NeRVe) Center (Director: Dr. David Salat). Applicants must be a U.S.
citizen. The Neuroimaging Research Technician will provide technical
support for image preprocessing and analysis (using programs such as FSL
and FreeSurfer), maintenance and development of in-house custom
processing codes (script writing in unix/linux, matlab, etc), and assist
staff members in the conduct of neuroimaging research as well as
administrative tasks related to the Center. This includes developing
expertise and training other investigators with the operation of current
MRI hardware (scanner console, goggles, headphones, BioPac system, etc)
and software for data processing and analysis. Additional
responsibilities will include management of online documentation and
center resources. Technical skills and familiarity with Linix/Unix,
Matlab, and imaging software packages such as FSL and FreeSurfer is
beneficial. Applicants should have a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree,
with a background in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Engineering, Math
or Physics. A two year commitment is required.
Interested candidates should email a cover letter, resume, and contact
information for two professional references to Dr. Meghan Robinson at

2 Postdoc and 2 PhD positions on ultra-high field neuroimaging and aging
The German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE, www.dzne.de/en)
is a center of excellence within the Helmholtz Association that performs
translational research on Neurodegenerative Diseases. The center
includes nine high-performing sites in Berlin, Bonn, Dresden,
Göttingen, Magdeburg, Munich, Rostock/Greifswald, Tübingen and Witten.
Two 5-year Postdoc and two 5-year PhD positions are available in the
Aging & Cognition research group (www.wolberslab.net) headed by Prof.
Thomas Wolbers. The positions are part of a large-scale project funded
by the European Research Council (ERC). In this project, we seek to
understand mechanisms of cognitive aging by studying navigational
decline in older adults with cutting-edge interactive virtual reality
systems and with ultra-high field neuroimaging. You will help develop
spatial navigation markers of age-related cognitive change, employ
multimodal neuroimaging approaches to characterise underlying neuronal
changes, evaluate novel therapeutic interventions and potentially
combine this with genetic analyses. Importantly, the successful
candidates will be encouraged to develop their own research interests,
and, if desired, they can be involved in teaching activities.
In addition to hosting research dedicated 3T and 7T MRI scanners, the
Magdeburg site of the DZNE, where the group is based, provides access to
mobile EEG, MEG, TMS and eyetracking systems. Furthermore, the Aging and
Cognition lab has a range of cutting-edge virtual reality setups, and it
entertains multiple collaborations with collaborators in Europe and in
the United States. Finally, Magdeburg offers a unique intellectual
environment, because spatial navigation is a core theme investigated
across several animal and human research groups.
For these positions, a strong interest in cognitive aging is important,
and excellent statistical skills are a plus. Furthermore, you will have,
or be in the final stages of, a BSc/MSc/PhD in psychology, cognitive
neuroscience, neuroimaging methods or applied statistics. Ideally, you
should also possess computer programming skills (e.g. in Matlab). You
will be thorough, efficient, a good communicator, and enjoy working as
part of an international and dynamic team.
For further information about these unique opportunities, please email
Thomas Wolbers (thomas.wolbers(a)dzne.de <mailto:thomas.wolbers@dzne.de>).
