Fwd: Post-doc position in Düsseldorf / Jülich

by Gary Green

The Cognitive Neuroscience Group at the Institute of Clinical Neuroscience, Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf headed by Prof. Simon Eickhoff, is looking to fill a post-doctoral position (E13/TVL). The position is available immediately and initial funding is secured for 2 years with the possibility of extension. Together with the Brain Network Modelling Group at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-1), Research Center Jülich, we are dedicated to the multi-modal analysis of brain structure, function and connectivity. To this end, we employ functional and structural MRI (with research dedicated 3T, 4T and 9.4T scanners available), database-driven modeling and meta-analyses as well as analyses of structural (diffusion-weighted imaging), functional (resting-state analysis and co-activation modeling) and effective (Dynamic Causal Modeling) connectivity analyses. A key focus of our current work is the integration of multiple modalities, in particular the use of functional imaging meta-analyses as a priori information for resting-state connectivity analyses and DTI tractography. Further information and key publications may be found at: http://www.neurosciences-duesseldorf.de/principal-investigators-and-junior-… http://www.fz-juelich.de/inm/inm-1/EN/Forschung/Brain_Network_Modeling/Brai… <http://www.fz-juelich.de/inm/inm-1/EN/Forschung/Brain_Network_Modeling/Brai…> The recruited post-doc will perform cutting-edge research in the field of multi-modal connectivity analyses including the development, refinement and application of new analysis approaches. Moreover, he/she is encouraged to develop and sharpen a scientific profile in one of the topics covered by our group (inter-individual variability and aging, social cognition, executive control, pathophysiology of depression, schizophrenia or Parkinson’s). In doing so, the successful applicant will work in a dynamic team of young investigators and supervise interns and medical students working on related projects. Successful candidates should have a PhD or comparable degree. Proven experience and proficiency in either SPM or FSL and a solid publication record in brain imaging are absolutely required. Previous work on resting-state fMRI or diffusion tractography is highly advantageous as is programming expertise, in particular in Matlab. (Basic) knowledge of German is helpful for the interaction with non-scientific staff but not totally necessary. To apply, please send a CV, motivation letter and contact details of three academic referees to Simon.Eickhoff(a)uni-duesseldorf.de =================================== Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Simon B.

Fwd: PhD in Computational Psychiatry

by Gary Green

The Translational Neuromodeling Unit (TNU) headed by Prof. Klaas Enno Stephan is a newly founded division of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). Its mission is to translate advances in computational neuroscience into clinically useful diagnostic tools. To this end, the TNU brings together modellers, experimentalists and clinicians who jointly develop mathematical models of brain (dys)function and evaluate their diagnostic use for psychiatry and neurology in patient studies. We have access to a wide range of experimental facilities - including fMRI (3T & 7T), EEG, TMS, eye tracking - and are presently setting up a research clinic for patient studies. For more information, see http://www.translationalneuromodeling.org. The TNU invites applications for a doctoral student (PhD) position (duration 3 years). The topic concerns the development of decision-making experiments and mathematical models to answer specific clinical questions in psychiatric settings, such as the origin of the comorbidity between depression and anxiety, the length of an acute episode or predicting relapse in addiction. The project will first focus on developing decision-making models and experiments appropriate to the clinical question. The models will be psychologically and neurobiologically informed to maximize the chances of characterizing the relevant "hidden" neural processes from behavior, eye movements and imaging data. The successful applicant will primarily develop these models and conduct the experiments in both clinical and non-clinical populations. Essential qualifications and interests include both strong interests in psychopathology and mathematics or statistics. The applicant has - Either a mathematical background (e.g., a degree in engineering, physics, computer science, statistics, mathematical psychology, mathematical biology, machine learning or computational neuroscience) and a strong interest in psychopathology - Or a background in psychopathology (e.g. a degree in clinical psychology, experimental psychology, medicine, public health, neuroscience or epidemiology) and strong interest in mathematical methods Further essential qualifications are strong programming skills, an enjoyment of inter-disciplinary interactions with experimentalists and clinicians, a "team player" attitude, and an interest in biomedical questions and real-world applications of computational models. Additionally, the ideal applicant has experience with - Bayesian methods, and/or machine learning, - conducting or analyzing experimental data. The position is available immediately. Interested students should submit their applications (incl. CV, names of at least two referees, and a brief letter of motivation outlining their interests and explaining why they meet the above requirements) to Quentin Huys (tnu-jobs(a)biomed.ee.ethz.ch). Applications will be considered until the position has been filled.

Fwd: Post-doc position available on fMRI methods for clinical applications

by Gary Green

This might suit a person with lots of programming skills -------------------- We have a mystery post-doc fMRI-methods-oriented position opened joint between my group (Parietal, INRIA [1]) and the cognitive Science group of Neurospin (Unicog, INSERM [2]), in Paris. This position is financed by a project to use resting-state fMRI for pronostic on stroke patients. A first part of this data has been acquired by our clinical colleagues (Flore Baronnet-Chauvet and Yves Samson) and partly processed by myself (paper is in its final stages). We now have longitudinal data that is sitting on a disk for lack of researcher with time to analyze it. We have money to pay for a post-doc (at least one year, maybe more, I need to check). We need someone with a real interest in challenging fMRI data analysis problems for clinical application. The post-doc would be free to spend 50% of his time conduct his own line of research, benefiting from the stimulating environment at Neurospin. I spent one year in this specific position and I can testify that it is a difficult but rewarding job. The clinical application part of the research is slow moving but helps getting a good understanding of the important methods question. Having 50% of your time to develop your own line of research is a good way to transform these intuitions in purely methodological contributions. The stroke-oriented research would be mainly supervised by myself, as I know the dataset and resting-state data processing well, in collaboration with our clinical collaborators, as well as the original PI of the study, Andreas Kleinschmidt, now in Geneva. I haven't written a formal call for this position for lack of time. If you are interested, please contact me very quickly. We need to make a decision soon, and I am leaving for a long trip in a week (and crawling under work).

Dear all, there will be a visit from PGCE Physics teachers between 14.00 and 15.30 this afternoon. The group will be approximately 20 in number. The Open Plan workstations will be available during this session, however if you are planning to work in Open Plan during this time, please can you chose a workstation towards the back wall of Open Plan rather than near the projection wall. Many thanks, Michael -- Dr Michael Simpson Science Liaison Officer York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk
