Fwd: Job Announcement: Post-Doctoral Research Worker (Neuroimaging Data Analysis)‏ at King's College London

by Gary Green

Post-Doctoral Research Worker (Neuroimaging Data Analysis) King's College London We would like to invite applications for the post of Research Worker in Neuroimaging Data Analysis. This position will be fixed term until 02 February 2016 and is a full-time post. The successful candidate will play a key role in collecting and analysing multimodal neuroimaging and neurodevelopmental data from a longitudinal cohort of young adults who were born very preterm. The successful candidate will become part of the Preterm Research Group, which is studying the effects of being born preterm on subsequent neurodevelopment, cognition and behaviour. The project, funded by the Medical Research Council, aims to investigate neurodevelopment into adulthood following very preterm birth. First, the study will assess their cognition (including learning disabilities, memory and attention) and mental health. Second, the study will use various neuroimaging techniques to examine how the brain changes as people grow into adults. The aim of the study is to define for the first time maturational patterns associated with the risk of poor outcome, as well as those associated with developmental resilience, and thus guide the design of remediation strategies to be implemented at very preterm individuals at younger ages aimed at reducing or preventing long-term disability. Working closely with Lead Investigators, the successful candidate will contribute to the successful conduct and completion of the research programme. He/she will play a key role in conducting and supporting neuroimaging data analysis and integrating current data with those collected longitudinally. Experience using SPM, Freesurfer, FSL, AFNI, machine learning methods is preferred, as well as proficiency in multiple programming language types and the ability to choose proper tool(s) to apply to specific projects including compiled (Java, C++), shell scripting, Perl, Python and MATLAB. The successful candidate will also be involved in postgraduate teaching and will be encouraged to develop his/her own research interests. *27 days annual leave, plus additional college closure days at Easter and Christmas *This post is superannuable under the USS pension scheme For an informal discussion of the post please contact the PI, Chiara Nosarti, Reader in Neurodevelopment and Mental Health, on 0207 848 0133, or via email at chiara.nosarti(a)kcl.ac.uk.

Fwd: [PhD offer in Systems Neuroscience

by Gary Green

The research group "Systems Neuroscience in Psychiatry"at the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim (Germany)offers *1 PhD-student position *in the field of functional neuroimaging in health and disease. Special focus is set on multimodal network characterization using fMRI, preferentially in combination with other techniques (e.g., structural MRI, EEG, TMS), during both challenge (e.g. behavioural task, pharmacological agent) and non-challenge (e.g. resting state) conditions. The successful applicant will join a multidisciplinary team trained in medicine, psychology, biology, and/or applied natural sciences. Our expertise includes the application of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods in healthy individuals and psychiatric patient populations, the combination of MRI methods with other neuroscience techniques (e.g., rTMS, EEG), the identification and characterization of environmental, genetic and epigenetic factors underlying functional network dynamics, and the investigation of these diagnostic markers for prognosis and therapy. For further information, see http://www.zi-mannheim.de/en/research/departments/psychiatrie/arbeitsgruppe…. The position is available from *October 2013* onwards for initially 2 years and includes an option for extension.

Fwd: Post-doc proposal: Charting the human brain with fMRI

by Gary Green

Dear NeuroImager, Please find [1]here a summary of a post-doctoral project related to the Strategic Human Brain Data subproject of the [2]Human Brain Project. Ideally, the successful candidate should start the post-doc on end 2013/early 2014. The research focus of this proposal is to build a functional atlas of the human brain: by repeatedly scanning a limited number of subjects with a large class of functional localizers (retinotopic, tonotopic, somatotopic, visual categories, space and number, language, social cognition, resting state) together with high-resolution anatomy and diffusion-weighted scans, we wish to accumulate spatially resolved functional information on this group of subjects. The resulting activation maps will provide an objective basis to inform the definition of brain regions, and compared to similar resources (human connectome project etc.). The uniqueness of the dataset will consist in the variety of cognitive functions tested. The post-doc will be in charge of setting a set of protocols up and running, take part to the set of acquisitions performed on Neuropsin 3T scanner at high resolution, analyse it with the help of the engineers and researchers of the Parietal team. He/she will be involved in the design choices for the initial steps of the project and in the ensuing meta-analyses and performance. The work will be carried out at Neurospin, Saclay, France, in close collaboration with the [3]unicog team. We offer a salary of 32 kE/year. The position is for two years. For more details, please contact [4]Bertrand Thirion. Please do circulate this announcement. Thank you in advance for your help. Best, Gael, relaying Bertrand Thirion References 1. https://team.inria.fr/parietal/files/2011/07/sujet_post_doc_hbp.pdf 2. http://www.humanbrainproject.eu/ 3. http://www.unicog.org/pm/pmwiki.php 4. mailto:bertrand.thirion@inria.fr
