Fwd: Imaging neurodegeneration – 3-year PhD position in Freiburg, Germany

by Gary Green

A 3-year PhD-position is available from early 2014 at the Freiburg Brain Imaging Center (http://www.uniklinik-freiburg.de/fbi/live/index_en.html), Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, in Germany. The project focuses on compensatory mechanisms in neurodegenerative disorders by combining functional and structural imaging as well as transcranial magnetic stimulation. The candidate can obtain a PhD in the field of Psychology, Medicine or Biology and is welcome to participate in developing MRI-based pattern recognition methods for diagnostics and prognostics (http://www.uniklinik-freiburg.de/fbi/live/groups/kloppel/Projects/ diagnosing_en.html ). If desired, candidates can be involved in teaching and cognitive testing at the local memory clinic. We offer The FBI combines efforts in neuroimaging research of the departments of Psychiatry/Psychotherapy, Biological and Personality Psychology, Neurology, Neuroradiology and Neurosurgery. We offer a continuous education program (image analyses, SPSS, etc.) and weekly research meetings. Support for MRI sequence development is provided by the Department of MR-Physics. The research group is closely collaborating with the Department for Pattern recognition methods (http://lmb.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/index.en.html) and is part of large research initiatives (www.humanbrainproject.eu/de; http://www.brainlinks-braintools.uni-freiburg.de/).

Fwd: Post-Doc in Clinical Neuroimaging

by Gary Green

*POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP* *IN CLINICAL NEUROIMAGING * /THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/ JEFFERSON / /MEDICAL COLLEGE, PHILA., PA./ The Department of Neurology at Thomas Jefferson University/Jefferson Medical College announces a Two-Year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Clinical Neuroimaging focusing on both clinical applications and primary cognitive neuroscience investigations. The emphasis in our neuroimaging program is on cognitive and behavioral reorganization/plasticity following brain surgery for epilepsy, tumors, and other neurological conditions. Presurgical brain mapping studies are undertaken (MRI volumetrics, fMRI, resting state, diffusion weighted imaging, electrocortical stimulation, neuropsychological assessment) as well as post-surgical neuroimaging studies investigating clinical, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes. Pre-surgical brain mapping studies will be conducted on a regular basis and utilized in image-guided surgery. Funded and planned cognitive neuroscience studies in cognitive reorganization and plasticity will be emphasized, but other projects in attention, motor, memory, and language will be conducted. Thomas Jefferson University provides a rich interdisciplinary environment with grand rounds, seminars, case conferences, and opportunities to collaborate with faculty across departments such as neurosurgery. Successful applicant will have a strong background in image processing (e.g., MATLAB, SPM) with a strong interest in clinical neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience. Applicants must have a MD or PHD in neuroscience, biophysics, biomedical engineering, statistics, neuropsychology, or related field. Interested applicants should send a CV and cover letter stating experience and interests, three letters of recommendation, and transcripts. Anticipated start date is summer of 2014. *Contact: Joseph I. Tracy, Ph.D., ABPP(CN).

Fwd: Post-docs in Dynamic Network Analysis with Human Neuroimaging

by Gary Green

Two post-doctoral positions available in human neuroimaging focusing on brain connectivity dynamics and cognitive control We seek two post-doctoral fellows to work on studies using functional MRI (fMRI) and/or computational modeling of brain connectivity dynamics (graph theory/network science) investigating cognitive control. We are especially interested in investigating neural mechanisms of highly adaptive cognition – such as the human ability to rapidly learn new tasks from instructions. See Cole et al., 2013 (/Nature Neuroscience/) <http://www.mwcole.net/pubs/2013_Cole_NatNeurosci.pdf> [http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nn.3470] for our recent work identifying flexible hubs that facilitate highly adaptive cognition. Human neuroimaging studies will focus on identifying local (within-region) and global (multi-network) connectivity mechanisms facilitating first-trial task learning and other forms of highly flexible cognition (e.g., involving lateral prefrontal cortex). This will primarily involve functional connectivity analyses using fMRI (during rest and task). Computational modeling will involve biologically realistic neuronal network models implementing first-trial learning and other forms of highly flexible cognition in order to test the plausibility of proposed mechanisms – and expanding computers into a computational realm currently only occupied by humans (i.e., creating artificial intelligence by investigating natural intelligence). Further, computational modeling will involve application of statistical techniques to find ways to detect newly identified mechanisms using neuroimaging, in order to test predictions made by the models. The positions will be at Rutgers University in Newark, NJ (13 miles from New York City, NY) and located in a newly renovated laboratory space in the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN), in the same building as the new Rutgers University Brain Imaging Center. Preferred attributes of candidates: 1) Strong computer programming skills; 2) Strong statistical analysis skills; 3) Excellent writing (and general communication) skills; 4) A consistent passion for learning and making discoveries in neuroscience (or related fields); 5) Expertise (a PhD) in behavioral, neuroimaging, network science, and/or computational modeling research. The ideal candidate will have expertise in at least one of the areas described above (e.g., cognitive control, brain imaging, network analysis, computational modeling) with interest in being trained in one or more of the other areas. For more information on the lab's research visit http://www.mwcole.net <http://www.mwcole.net/> Start date is flexible, but is anticipated to be between April and December 2014. The deadline for applying is December 1, 2013. If interested send your CV and a cover letter with an overview of your background and career goals, along with names and emails of potential recommenders to mwcole(a)mwcole.net <mailto:mwcole@mwcole.net>
