Post-Doctoral applications are invited in the newly established Brain and Language Lab at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Geneva, in collaboration with the Swiss Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland. Projects will include the development of new data-driven computational morphometry methods for analysis of structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, and application of these to large datasets in the context of normal variability, disease, and expertise.
Candidates should have a degree in Biomedical Engineering, Computational Neuroscience, or a related field with a strong mathematical and computational background. Ideally they should have experience in brain image analysis, pattern recognition, machine learning, statistics as well as excellent programming skills.
We offer a competitive starting salary of 68, 964 CHF/year, or more depending on experience.
The position is available immediately, and applications will be considered until the position is filled. Informal inquiries can be addressed to Narly Golestani (Narly.Golestani(a)unige.ch). Applications including a CV, a statement of research interests, and the names and full contact details of three referees should be sent to: Narly.Golestani(a)unige.ch.

Hi everyone,
This is to remind you about the upcoming MEG research group meeting on
*Thursday, 13th at 12.00 in C003.* As announced, Andrew will tell us
about /source space simulation and its application to beamforming and
connectivity/.
Hope to see you all tomorrow.
With best wishes,
Markus
Dear all,
Hope you're looking forward to the Christmas Party!
The festivities will begin on Thursday at 7:15 pm. The bar will be open and
your first drink is on the house! We'll also be giving out raffle tickets
for a free prize draw!
We'll sit down for dinner around 8-8:15pm. I've attached your menu choices
to this email. Be sure to remind yourself of what you ordered as you'll be
expected to remember when the food is brought around.
After dinner, there will be a disco at the hotel until midnight.
If you're unsure of where the Churchill Hotel is, here's the link on Google

The hotel mentioned that taxi companies are often busy around this time of
year. Therefore, they advise that if you know what time you will be leaving,
it's a good idea to book a taxi in advance.
All you need to bring is money for extra drinks/a taxi home (optional),
yourself, and lots of festive cheer!
Christmas wishes,
Emma

Dear Users
The project proposal presentations that were to take place this week
have been postponed until January 17th.
There will not be a YNiC seminar on 10th January because the majority of
staff will be attending the MEG UK meeting in Cambridge.
Best wishes

The School of Psychology & Clinical Language Sciences at the
University of Reading invites applications for 2 prestigious 3-year
Medical Research Council PhD Studentships for research on lifespan
change and/or development of affective regulation and disturbance, for
an October 2013 start. Deadline for brief applications is Monday the
10th of December
The School has a thriving research community with more than 30
academic staff, and over 60 PhD students. Its international reputation
for research is underpinned by expertise in child development,
psychology over the lifespan, and the neuroscience of health and
disease. Further information on the research undertaken within the
School is available on our website at:
http://www.reading.ac.uk/pcls/research/pcls-research.aspx
Incorporating the Winnicott Research Unit, the Berkshire Child Anxiety
Clinic, and the Charlie Waller Institute of Evidence Based
Psychological Treatments, the School provides outstanding facilities
and leading international expertise in clinical and developmental
psychopathology. The School's Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and
Neurodynamics includes research-dedicated facilities for MRI, EEG, TMS
and psychophysiology and houses an interdisciplinary team in Affective
Neuroscience and Psychopathology that bridges the disciplines of

possible). The initial contract will be for 1 year but can be renewed
for up to three years. The successful candidate will have a strong
background and publication record in cognitive neuroscience, and
research interests that closely overlap with those of the lab.
Programming skills and expertise in fMRI are prerequisites; experience
with TMS and computational modeling are desirable. For inquiries and
applications (CV, research interest statement, and contact information
for three references), please email Tobias Egner at
tobias.egner(a)duke.edu <mailto:tobias.egner@duke.edu>.
