On behalf of Dr Nikolaus Weiskopf, I am distributing the following job ad: ----- UCL INSTITUTE OF NEUROLOGY Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging ERC-Funded Postdoc Position: Research Associate in Data Analysis and Image Processing Applications are invited for a Research Associate post in the group of Professor Nikolaus Weiskopf at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL. The appointee will be part of a team developing and applying methods for in-vivo histology of human brain microstructure using MRI, which is crucial for understanding the human brain in both health and disease. The project is funded by the ERC Consolidator Grant “Non-Invasive In-Vivo Histology in Health and Disease Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging“. To characterize the microstructure of the cortex, the team will develop a novel quantitative multi-contrast imaging approach at ultra-high resolution that will be complemented by a unified model of MRI contrasts, cortical anatomy and tissue microstructure. Super-resolution diffusion and susceptibility imaging will further enhance the effective image resolution. High-resolution functional MRI (fMRI) will complement the anatomical imaging methods and will be used for cross-validation. The appointee will be embedded in a unique world-leading research environment and have access to the latest cutting-edge MRI hardware including: 3T, 7T and 9.4T for human MRI; small bore 9.4T for ex-vivo scanning; ultra-fast optical prospective motion correction and tailored radio-frequency (RF) surface coils for maximal SNR. The post holder will develop an image processing framework that fully integrates the different imaging modalities (e.g., relaxometry data, DWI and fMRI) and represents them in a 3D cortical model. This will allow for multi-modal laminar mapping and multi-contrast data integration. Particular challenges will be accurate registration of data with different resolution; correction of physiological noise, distortion and motion; precise delineation of the cortical sheet based on multi-spectral segmentation. S/he will also work on integrating the biophysical signal models developed by the project team in the image processing framework, resulting in a unified description of the geometry and tissue microstructure of the cortex.

Fwd: PhD position (3 years) on speech perception and production - Leipzig/Germany
by Gary Green 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI-CBS) in Leipzig/Germany is now offering a PhD position for 3 years in a research project on speech perception and production using TMS and fMRI or MEG. During every-day conversations, we produce well-articulated speech and comprehend the meaning of words and the speaker’s emotions and intentions without any effort. What seems so easy is based on highly complex neural processes that afford the reciprocal integration of auditory and motor signals that are still poorly understood. Does speech production rely on a hemispheric specialization at the level of the motor cortex? How does the motor cortex support speech perception? The PhD project will address these questions with a combination of neuroscientific methods (TMS, fMRI, MEG) and acoustic analyses. Applicants must have a master degree (or equivalent) in speech science, psychology, cognitive sciences, neuroscience, medicine, phonetics or a related field. Proficiency in oral and written English is necessary. A solid methods background (statistics and programming) as well as prior experience with either functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are highly desirable. Most importantly, the successful applicant will share our enthusiasm in research questions on speech and prosody in perception and production. Preferable starting date is June 2015. Salary is dependent on experience and based on the funding guidelines of the Max Planck Society. The research is conducted at the MPI-CBS in Leipzig, Germany, an internationally leading center for cognitive and imaging neuroscience equipped with a 7T MRI scanner, three 3T MRI scanners, a 306 channels MEG system, a TMS system and several EEG systems. All facilities are supported by experienced IT and physicist staff. Our institute offers a very international environment, with English and German being the languages spoken in the laboratory. It offers a friendly and generous environment of researchers with diverse backgrounds and with an excellent infrastructure. In order to increase the proportion of female staff members, applications from female scientists are particularly encouraged. Preference will be given to disabled persons with the same qualification. Applications should be sent to the email below as a single, appropriately named pdf email attachment. It should enclose a cover letter (max. 2 pages) that also specifies your future research interests; a CV; up to three representative reprints; and contact details of two personal references. This call closes on April 30, 2015. Interviews will be held in the first week of May 2015. The application should be sent directly to personal(a)cbs.mpg.de using the code “PhD 3/15” in the subject. For further details please contact Dr Daniela Sammler or Dr Nicole Neef, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany, sammler(a)cbs.mpg.de / neef(a)cbs.mpg.de -- Dr. Daniela SAMMLER Research Group Leader Otto Hahn Group "Neural Bases of Intonation in Speech" Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Stephanstr. 1a, 04103 Leipzig phone: +49 341 9940 2679 fax: +49 341 9940 2204
