A postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Carlo Reverberi and Paolo Cherubini at the Dept. of Psychology of the Università Milano-Bicocca, Milan (Italy). The projects will focus on how and where our brain represents the information relevant for the effective execution of collaborative tasks.
The post holder will be required to design, set up, run and analyze experiments, and to contribute to their dissemination through scholarly articles and participation to conferences. The Lab is interdisciplinary, mixing expertise in cognition, neuroscience, statistics and mathematics. Experiments will use both behavioral and neuroscience techniques (e.g. multivariate analysis on fMRI data).
This project will be performed in collaboration with the John-Dylan Haynes lab at the Bernstein Centre of Computational Neuroscience, Charité - Universitätsmedizin, Berlin, thus the post holder is expected to spend part of the time (e.g. a year) at the BCCN-Berlin. FMRI data acquisition will take place at the Berlin Center for Advanced Neuroimaging: The BCAN is equipped with two Siemens 32-channel 3 Tesla MRI systems.
The ideal candidate will have a PhD in neuroscience, cognitive science, physics or mathematics, expertise in the analysis of large data sets and/or fMRI analysis, and excellent programming skills. The successful candidate is expected to work within the general framework of the project, but also to actively contribute with his/her own ideas.
The initial appointment is for two years. Salary will be commensurate with experience (23.000-28.000 Euro p.a. gross).
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae to Carlo Reverberi: carlo.reverberi at unimib.it as soon as possible.
Final deadline for the formal application will be mid November 2013.
Mental Health and Complex Disorders Research Program, Queensland
Berghofer Institute of Medical Research would like to invite

The current project seeks to develop advanced neuroimaging techniques in
characterizing neurological and psychiatric diseases. The fellow is
expected to employ state-of-art imaging techniques, including structural
and functional MRI, EEG, DTI, combined with autonomic physiological
recording. Analysis will have an emphasis on functional and effective
connectivity, and cortical autonomic interaction. The ideal candidate
will have an interest in clinical neuroscience, fMRI methods
development, autonomic system, or a combination. The fellow is expected
to be involved with each stages of the project, and have ample
authorship opportunities.
Candidates must have a PhD degree in neuroscience, engineering, computer
science or equivalent academic qualifications. Training in neuroimaging
and proficiency programming (in Matlab, C++, or R) is required;
experience in multivariate approaches and combined fMRI-EEG in
particular is a plus. Basic knowledge about the human brain is highly
desired. Excellent communication skills in English are essential.
The fellow will work directly with QIMR International Fellow, Dr.
Christine Guo. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until
the position is filled. Please direct inquiries to Dr. Guo by sending a
cover letter, CV, and contact information of at least 3 references to

Dear all,
we are looking for one research assistant / PhD-student in a new research project at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin (group leader: Prof. John-Dylan Haynes), which aims to improve the diagnostic situation for patients suffering from different forms of dementia. The research assistant will work in a sub-project, in which different kinds of data (e.g. neuropsychological data, genetic information, structural/functional MRI, PET or DTI) will be combined (e.g. by a Bayesian network) for giving the best diagnosis. A prerequisite of this job offer are very good programming skills. For details, please see the job advertisement below (only in German).
Please feel free to forward this mail to potentially interesting candidates.
Thanks a lot and best regards,

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
im Rahmen eines großen Verbundprojekts (iDSS: Integratives Decision Support System für die Diagnostik von Demenzerkrankungen bei stationären geriatrischen Patienten, Projektleiter Dr. Ralph Buchert und Prof. John-Dylan Haynes) suchen wir zum nächstmöglichen Zeitpunkt eine/n wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter/in (mit Möglichkeit zur Promotion). In diesem Projekt werden neue Biomarker basierend auf modernen Hirnbildgebungstechniken (z.B. funktionelle Magnetresonanztomographie [MRT] oder vessel imaging) erforscht und dann verwendet, um ein computerbasiertes Expertensystem zu entwickeln, das die Informationen verschiedener klinischer Bereiche (Neuropsychologie, Genotyp, fMRT etc.) integriert. Damit soll eine bessere Diagnostik von Demenzerkrankungen ermöglicht werden.
Der/die wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter/in (TVöD-E13 65 %) wird in einem Teilprojekt der Arbeitsgruppe von Prof. Haynes mitarbeiten, das die Entwicklung des computerbasierten Expertensystems zum Ziel hat. Die Aufgaben umfassen die Entwicklung der Algorithmen zur multimodalen Datenintegration und die software-technische Umsetzung. Das Ergebnis soll ein patentfähiges Diagnoseinstrument sein. Wir bieten die Mitarbeit in einem engagierten und interdisziplinären Team bestehend aus Mathematikern, Physikern, Medizinern und Psychologen sowie die Möglichkeit eines spannenden Einblicks in die Hirnforschung an der Schnittstelle zwischen Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft.
Voraussetzungen sind ein abgeschlossenes Studium in Informatik, Mathematik, Physik, Psychologie, Computational Neuroscience oder einem verwandten Fach mit überdurchschnittlichen Leistungen sowie sehr gute Programmierkenntnisse (z.B. Matlab und mindestens eine objektorientierte Sprache) und gute Deutsch- und Englischkenntnisse. Weiterhin erwarten wir ein hohes Maß an Eigenständigkeit und die Bereitschaft, sich mit Engagement und Flexibilität für dieses Projekt einzusetzen. Erfahrung im Bereich Bayesianische Netzwerke, Bildverarbeitung oder maschinelles Lernen ist wünschenswert, aber keine Voraussetzung. Die Stelle ist zunächst bis zum 30.6.2015 befristet.
Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Bewerbung per E-mail als pdf-Datei an: kerstin.ritter(a)bccn-berlin.de

The Neural Control of Movement Laboratory provides an inspiring interdisciplinary research environment and has tight collaborations with leading scientists in molecular neuroscience and human MRI. All projects have a highly translational character with the goal to apply the same MRI methodology in animal models and human volunteers/patients.
The successful candidate has a strong background in medical imaging in small animal models as well as in standard analysis methods. Experience with behavioural testing in rat/mice, knowledge of how to induced experimental brain lesions, or a good background in molecular techniques is a distinct advantage. We are looking for a young, independent researcher with a large interest in translational work and good interpersonal, and communication skills. The position is available for a period of 4 years. Please apply online at http://internet1.refline.ch/845721/2744/++publications++/1/index.html. Application deadline is the 5th of December 2013 and the project will start in spring 2014 (negotiable).
