Neuroscience Job in Italy
by Silke Goebel 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

*Assistant or Associate Research Professors, Center for Mind/Brain Sciences, Trento * The Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMeC) at the University of Trento is seeking to fill a number of research positions in cognitive neuroscience at the Assistant or Associate Research Professor level. The Center offers an international and vibrant research setting in which to investigate the functioning of the brain through the analysis of its functional, structural and physiological characteristics, in both normal and pathological states. Researchers at the Center make use of state-of-the-art neuroimaging methodologies, including a research-only MRI scanner, MEG, EEG and TMS, as well as behavioral, eye tracking and motion tracking laboratories. The Center also includes a neuropsychology and neuro-rehabilitation clinic (CERiN). The Center strongly encourages collaborative and innovative research, and provides the opportunity for all researchers to access laboratory resources and to be part of the Doctoral School in Cognitive and Brain Sciences. CIMeC also has close collaborations with local research centers, including FBK (Fondazione Bruno Kessler) and IIT (Italian Institute of Technology), through joint projects and through the doctoral school. Further information about the Center can be found at: http://www.cimec.unitn.it <http://www.cimec.unitn.it/>. The ideal researchers (from all areas of cognitive neuroscience, including computational neuroscience and neuroimaging methods) must hold the Ph.D. or M.D. degree, and should have a record documenting research creativity, independence, and productivity. We are looking for researchers able to build and maintain a high quality research program and to contribute to the maintenance of a collegial and collaborative academic environment.

Open Plan busyness
by Sam Johnson 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Hello all, Just to let people know that between 1:15 and 3:15 this afternoon, YNiC's open plan will be very busy with the MSc course practical. This year we're pretty much at capacity so there won't be any spare machines. Those of you who are coming up for the seminar and thought about coming early to get a bit of quiet work done, I'm not sure that'll be possible I'm afraid. Apologies to those who were unable to work last week, for future reference Thursday afternoons for the next 6 weeks will be equally busy, though I'll send reminders. Thanks, Sam -- Sam Johnson Science Manager, York NeuroImaging Centre University of York http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk

by Gary Green 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Dear Colleagues Below is an invitation to attend the next MEGUK meeting. It will be held in Glasgow in January. As you can read, there will be slots for each MEG site to present their work and there will also be opportunities for poster presentations. They are keen that each site co-ordinates their own contributions. Although it says that I am the contact point, Michael Simpson michael.simpson(a)ynic.york.ac.uk is actually going to do the co-ordination. Thanks Michael. If you are going to attend, please can you contact Michael, as well as register as indicated below Gary ---------------------------- Dear all, the next MEG users UK meeting will be in Glasgow on the 29th (Saturday) and 30th (Sunday) of January 2011. We will have 1 hour oral presentations per MEG site (it is up to each site how many presentations they wish to fit into their 60 min) and to have an extensive poster session on Saturday evening (we can accommodate around 100 posters). Registration is now open (no fee, no costs). Simply click on the link below that will take you to a website where you please enter your name, your email address, and your affiliation.

[Fwd: Free NIHR Learning Events in Leeds, Huddersfield & York - November 2010]
by Gary Green 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Some of you might be thinking of applying for NIHR funding. The following seminars might be useful. At the lecture by the Director of the NIHR earlier this week it was pointed out that York is not that successful in obtaining particular types of NIHR funding and it was also pointed out that one reason was because patients were not involved as much as the NIHR would like. So the workshop on the RFPB programme might be particularly useful. ----------------------------------------- The NIHR Research Design Service for Yorkshire and the Humber offers a programme of learning events which are FREE to NHS researchers, and others working in partnership with the NHS within the Yorkshire and Humber region, who are developing an application to a suitable funding body, particularly Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB) and all other NIHR research programmes. We will be offering the following events during November 2010 - PATIENT AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT IN RESEARCH DESIGN AND DEVELOPING GRANT APPLICATIONS Tuesday, 9 November 2010 1.30 pm - 4.15 pm UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS MAKING SUCCESSFUL APPLICATIONS TO THE RESEARCH FOR PATIENT BENEFIT (RFPB) PROGRAMME Wednesday, 17 November 2010 1 pm - 4 pm (please note that lunch is included and will start at 1 pm. The presentations will start @ 1.30 pm) HUDDERSFIELD ROYAL INFIRMARY DEVELOPING A PROPOSAL FOR A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Tuesday, 30 November 2010 12.30 am - 4 pm UNIVERSITY OF YORK Please see our website for further information about these events and an ONLINE BOOKING form - http://www.rds-yh.nihr.ac.uk/learning-events.aspx You will be sent an email confirming your booking.

14 Oct '10

FYI ----------------------- Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pediatric Neuroimaging University of Illinois at Chicago A postdoctoral position is available at the Institute for Juvenile Research and the Center for Cognitive Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago, to study brain function and develop brain models of functional connectivity in children and adolescents within our research program and Neuroscience and Treatment Center in pediatric psychiatric disorders. The position involves working with Dr. Mani Pavuluri, M.D. Ph.D. and her neuroimaging team on conducting fMRI studies and developing new neuroimaging methods to examine functional connectivity in relation to DTI, and genetics with regard to affect, cognition and sensori-motor processes in pediatric populations. We seek PhD candidates who have a strong background in fMRI and neuroscience. Experience with fMRI studies, and familiarity with AFNI, SPM, or FSL software are required. Excellent programming and statistical skills related to neuroimaging research, and a record of scientific publications are also required. The Center for Cognitive Medicine (http://ccm.psych.uic.edu), located within the UIC medical campus, is a state-of-the-art multidisciplinary clinical and academic center that focuses on investigating the neural bases of cognitive, affective and motor deficits, as well as behavioral pharmacology of various clinical disorders including pediatric bipolar disorder, mood disorders, ADHD, autism, schizophrenia and head injury populations. Our research program is a strong federally funded program with outstanding research opportunities and with direct access to pediatric psychiatric patients through our pediatric mood disorder clinics. We offer a competitive hiring package based on experience, with opportunities for career development beyond the post-doctoral appointment. The Center for Cognitive Medicine and the Institute for Juvenile Research are part of the UIC Medical School and are in close proximity to the MR Center, which houses two 1.5T clinical scanners, one research-devoted 3T scanner, as well as a new whole body 9.4T scanner for human brain imaging.// Interested candidates must contact Dr. M. Pavuluri or Dr. A. Passarotti via email: mpavuluri(a)psych.uic.edu <mailto:mpavuluri@psych.uic.edu>, apassarotti(a)psych.uic.edu. // This is a separate listing from the previous post. Thanks.
