Fwd: Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Clinical Neuroimaging
by Gary Green 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

*POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP* *IN CLINICAL NEUROIMAGING * /THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY/ JEFFERSON / /MEDICAL COLLEGE, PHILA., PA./ The Department of Neurology at Thomas Jefferson University/Jefferson Medical College has an opening for a Two-Year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Clinical Neuroimaging focusing on both clinical brain mapping and primary cognitive neuroscience investigations. The emphasis in our neuroimaging program is on cognitive and behavioral reorganization/plasticity following brain surgery for epilepsy, tumors, and other neurological conditions. Presurgical brain mapping studies are undertaken (MRI volumetrics, task-fMRI, resting state, diffusion imaging, electrocortical stimulation, neuropsychological assessment) as well as post-surgical neuroimaging studies investigating clinical, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes. The pre-surgical brain mapping studies are conducted on a regular basis, utilized in image-guided brain surgery, and then made available for research. Studies in brain recovery and the cognitive reorganization of language and memory functions are emphasized, along with projects in electrophysiology and brain stimulation, yielding rich multi-modal datasets for the investigation of both cognitive and seizure networks. Thomas Jefferson University provides a interdisciplinary environment with grand rounds, seminars, case conferences, and opportunities to collaborate with faculty across departments such as neurosurgery. Successful applicant will have a strong background in image processing (e.g., MATLAB, SPM, FSL) with a strong interest in clinical neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience. Applicants must have a MD or PHD in neuroscience, biophysics, biomedical engineering, statistics, neuropsychology, or related field. Interested applicants should send a CV and cover letter stating experience and interests, and three letters of recommendation. Anticipated start date is the summer of 2015. *Contact: Joseph I.

YNiC seminar today
by rem 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Dear Users This afternoon (from 4 pm in B020) Andrew Quinn from the Oxford centre for Human Brain Activity will give a talk on "Directionality and oscillatory dynamics in functional brain networks". Abstract: Electrophysiological data is rich in oscillatory activity. These rhythms exist across many time scales and are known to co-vary with brain states (such as sleep/wake) as well as many cognitive and behavioural factors. Moreover the connectivity between brain regions also shows robust spatial networks across the brain within specific frequency ranges (Brookes et al 2011, de Pasquale et al 2010, Hipp et al 2012). The present work establishes a methodology for estimating the direction of information flow within such networks which is validated on simulations before application to real MEG data. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be available after the seminar. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

The Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at Queens College (QC), City University of New York (CUNY), in conjunction with the Laboratory of Neuroimaging, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), has an opening for a postdoctoral fellow with expertise in functional neuroimaging to start immediately. The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with cognitive neuroscientists, psychologists, computer scientists, psychiatrists, and neuroimaging specialists on research aimed at elucidating the cognitive mechanisms associated with the processing and quantification of information in the brain, particularly as it pertains to cognitive control. The laboratories also have a separate line of research in attention and emotion processing in clinical (autism and neurologically impaired patients) and non-clinical populations. Interested applicants must hold a doctoral degree in cognitive neuroscience or a closely related field and should have substantial experience in neuroimaging methods, as well as data collection and analysis. Some background and/or advanced training in functional and effective connectivity, as well as network-based (e.g., graph theory-based, etc.) analyses is preferred. It is critical that the candidate has expertise and working knowledge of fMRI analysis software (preferably SPM, though FSL, AFNI, and others are also acceptable), along with familiarity with Matlab and E-Prime programming. Experience interpreting neuroimaging data, working knowledge of functional neuroanatomy, and a background in attention and cognitive control is also highly desirable. A minimum two-year commitment is required. The position is open now, and will remain open until filled. Interested applicants are encouraged to email a CV and a cover letter describing their research interests and neuroimaging experience to Dr. Jin Fan at jin.fan(a)qc.cuny.edu.

Power cut at YNiC
by Gary Green 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Dear Colleagues Last night there was a major power cut to Biocentre. This of course affected all of the computer services, the MRI scanner, the security system and, well, everything here. The power came back on at about midnight and heroic efforts were made to restore services so that they may be available this morning. Although things may appear normal, we know that some systems have yet to be restarted. Serious checking will have to be done of most systems to ensure everything is back to normal. Please be patient if certain services are not working. Do let us know via the RT system or contact reception Gary -- 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. +44 (0) 1904 435349 PA - Jill Hurst : +44 (0) 1904 435329 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004
