Hi everyone, With the upcoming project circus on Thursday, I think that it would be a good idea to reschedule the next MEG research group meeting to *Thursday, 13th at 12.00 in C003*. Andrew Quinn will tell us about his progress on/source space simulations and its application to beamforming and connectivity./ Hope to see you all on Thursday next week. With best wishes, Markus

Postdoc opportunity

by Gary Green

Society in Science – The Branco Weiss Fellowship is a unique postdoctoral programme. It provides young researchers around the world with a generous personal research grant, giving them the freedom to work on whatever topic they choose anywhere in the world, for a maximum duration of five years. This research fellowship is designed to support postdoctoral researchers after their PhD and before their first faculty appointment. Those in current postdoctoral positions are also eligible. It is expected that fellows pursue unconventional projects in new areas of science, engineering and social science fields involving societal aspects. The Society in Science fellowship program was initiated and financed by the Swiss entrepreneur Dr. Branco Weiss, who passed away in October 2010. The program belongs to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH). Candidates that present an unusual research project that departs from the mainstream and that have a remarkable track record will be short-listed and could emerge from the annual selection process with an award for the prestigious grant. Simply apply with a groundbreaking research idea to secure financial support for up to five years, working at an academic institution of your choice anywhere in the world. http://www.society-in-science.org/ closing date 01-02-2013 --------------- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg tel.
