Dear Users
This Thursday (4.15-5.15 pm in YNiC open plan) there will be a "Tutorial
in the application of resting state fMRI" organised by Jonny Smallwood
from the Department of Psychology and Chris Gorgolewski (MPI Cognitive
and Brain Sciences).
Please note the earlier start time of the seminar from 4.15 pm following
the new timetabling in Psychology.
There will be additional talks on resting state networks during the
morning of 10th October (from 10 am to 12.30 pm) at YNiC. For further
details please contact Jonny Smallwood (jonny.smallwood(a)york.ac.uk).
Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be available after
the seminar.
Best wishes
Rebecca

The “Cognitive Neuropsychiatry” working group at the Department of
General Psychiatry, University of Heidelberg, Germany offers a
half-time**PhD-position in the field of neuropsychology and functional
neuroimaging. The project is funded by the German Research Council (DFG)
and will investigate neural network correlates of verbal auditory
hallucinations (“hearing voices”) in patients with schizophrenia. A
special focus is set on detailed phenomenology combined with
neuropsychology and multimodal network characterization using fMRI.
The successful candidate is highly motivated, shows a strong interest in
psychiatric neuroscience and neuroimaging and holds a diploma/master in
psychology, biology, neuroscience, or an equivalent field. Ideally, the
applicant has relevant prior knowledge of functional and/or structural
neuroimaging methods (e.g. fMRI data acquisition, processing and
analysis) and is familiar with at least one MRI data analysis software
package. Experience with basic statistical software packages is a
requirement, and prior experience in experimental psychology and
additional programming skills (e.g. Matlab) are advantageous. As direct
study participant contact is an integral part of the research project,
an excellent command of the German language is required.
The position is available from *November 2013* onwards for 3 years.
Salary is according to German federal regulations (TV-L
13/2).**Reviewing of applications will start immediately, and
applications will be considered until the position has been filled.
Please send an email enclosing a brief letter of motivation, CV and
contact details of two personal references. Please submit your
application to:
*christian.wolf(a)med.uni-heidelberg.de*
A Position is open for a Laboratory Manager at the Magnetic Resonance
Imaging Center at the Department of Radiology in Temple University
located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Candidates with a Master’s degree
in a field related to Neuroimaging/Bioengineering/Electrical
Engineering, or bachelor’s degree with 2 years’ experience in MR imaging
are encouraged to apply for this position. Significant knowledge in
neuroimaging particularly in BOLD/diffusion imaging is required. Strong
programming experience in Matlab, C/C++ or similar platforms, SPM, FSL,
Brain Voyager will be a plus. Good communication skills, documentation
and managerial skills are required.
*Interested candidates please contact:*
Feroze B. Mohamed, Ph.D. (*feroze(a)temple.edu* <mailto:feroze@temple.edu>)
*Postdoctoral fellowship in model-based fMRI of psychiatric disorders*
The lab of Prof. Tiago V. Maia is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to
conduct research on model-based fMRI of psychiatric disorders. The lab
is located in the School of Medicine of the University of Lisbon
(Portugal). There may also be opportunities to spend time at the
Department of Psychiatry of Columbia University (USA), where Prof. Maia
also has a faculty appointment.
Research in the lab focuses on using fMRI, neurocomputational models,
and behavioral experimentation to understand the neural bases of
cognition and emotion and the disruption of these processes in
psychiatric disorders. Additional information, including a list of
publications, is available on Prof. Maia's web page:
http://childpsych.columbia.edu/brainimaging/CV_maia.html
Talented candidates from any background will be considered, but
preference will be given to candidates with expertise in one or more of
the following areas: fMRI, computational neuroscience, and/or behavioral
experimentation.
Funding is available immediately for a project investigating
reinforcement learning in Tourette syndrome using a combination of
computational modeling and fMRI ('model-based fMRI'). The successful
candidate would also have opportunities to work on other projects.
Candidates should send a CV and a letter describing their research
interests to MaiaT(a)nyspi.columbia.edu. Reference letters are preferred
but optional at this stage.
The University of Cambridge, Department of Clinical Neurosciences are
looking to recruit a senior research associate* to join the Stroke
Research Team. You will play a central role in establishing and
developing a major programme of stroke MRI research at Cambridge which
focuses particularly on the imaging of patients with ischaemic white
matter disease.
You will be integrally involved setting up a number of new MRI
projects, and also will have access to large existing multimodal MRI
datasets which provide an excellent resource for developing novel image
analysis techniques and correlating MRI markers with cognitive and
clinical parameters.
In addition to supervising clinical fellows, other staff involved with
image analysis and PhD students, you will be encouraged to develop your
own areas of research within stroke imaging and to apply for grants in
these areas.
You will have a PhD in a relevant area and experience in MR image
analysis which
ideally should involve brain imaging. Individuals with previous MR
experience outside stroke are encouraged to apply and training can be
given in the clinical aspects relating to stroke.
*NB: The status of Senior Research Associate is awarded on the basis of
individual merit and may be awarded to the successful candidate if
approved by the Faculty Board of the Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine.

University’s job opportunities page : : http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/1820/
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.

Hi Everyone
As some of you may be aware we will hold a workshop at YNIC focused on
resting fMRI on the 10th of October. The purpose of this workshop will be
to familiarise attendees with the techniques and applications of resting
state both as a powerful tool for realising brain structure and function,
but also to consider its applications for understanding the mind.
Everyone is welcome and there is no cost to attend. See attached flyer for
further details.
Looking forward to seeing you all there. Please forward to people you think
maybe interested.
Jonny
Hi,
I am xiaoqian, the new phd student working with andy young.
I would like to attend the ynic seminar, so would you please add me to the mailing list?
Many thanks,
xiaoqian
Hi Everyone,
Next week I am hosting the external speaker next week. I will be taking Dr
Margulies out for dinner after the talk to continue discussions on the work
he presented, to as yet unknown venue. Daniel is great fun to hangout with,
so if anyone would like to come along please let me know and I will include
you in the plans.
Jonny
