*2 Years Post Doctoral Position in Bordeaux - France*
The Neurofunctional Imaging Group (GIN) is a CNRS-CEA joint research
unit of the Bordeaux University (UMR 5296, dir. Bernard Mazoyer) and a
core member of the TRAIL
<http://trail.labex-univ-bordeaux.fr/> Laboratory of Excellence. The GIN
is a multidisciplinary research unit gathering scientists with initial
training in mathematics and instrumentation, cognitive neurosciences,
signal processing and databasing.
One objective of the current GIN research project is to develop new
tools to characterize and describe the gray matter anatomical
connectivity networks. Within this area we have a position for a 2 years
Post Doc.
*Description of the position*
Recent work on brain connectivity modeling revealed that the topographic
organization of this connectivity is not limited to large-scale
anatomical pathways generally observable in diffusion MRI, thus
reinforcing the interest of studies focusing on the characterization of
cortical structural connectivity and its variability. Therefore, the
estimation of relevant grey matter connectomes strongly relies on the
choice of an ad'hoc cerebral parcellisation.
We propose a post doc project to first implement a probabilistic
cortical atlas derived from cortical parcellisations defined
individually to optimally extract cortical thickness and volume of each
individual. The second aim of the post doc project is to compute
cortical structural connectivity to quantify the inter-individual
variability of brain organization together with the effects of specific
factors such as gender, manual preference, functional lateralization or
cognitive skills. The strength of the present project is that it will
benefits from the already acquired BIL&GIN database composed of 453
healthy volunteers balanced for gender and handedness. Hence, the first
probabilistic cortical atlas will be operated over a large sample, the
453 participants having been previously pre-processed.
*Qualification and experience*
The qualified applicant should have a PhD in neuro-image analysis,
cognitive neuroscience, computer science or related field and a
background in neuroimage processing. Applicants should have experience
with existing tools for analysis of neuroimaging data (SPM, FSL,
Freesurfer.) and a relevant programming experience (MATLAB).
For further information, please contact Dr. Fabrice Crivello
(fabrice.crivello(a)u-bordeaux2.fr <mailto:fabrice.crivello@u-bordeaux2.fr>).
Employment and payment are determined by Bordeaux University (2 400 €
per month, net salary). Job location is in Bordeaux, France. Interested
candidates should send their applications including CV with full
publication list, the names and contact information and a summary of
research interests to fabrice.crivello(a)u-bordeaux2.fr

manuscripts, contributing to grant writing, and conducting analyses
following data collection. Opportunities to write manuscripts from
extant datasets are plentiful. Some staff supervision will also be
expected. The fellow will have advisors with expertise in
psychopathology, cognitive neuroscience, and grant writing. Individuals
with a PhD in cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, clinical
psychology or related fields of study are encouraged to apply for this
position. Qualifications include a 1) doctoral degree, 2) demonstrated
expertise with EEG/ERP and/or eye tracking methods, 3) strong
programming skills, and 4) an interest in clinical populations.
Excellent scientific writing skills and strong publication records are
highly desired. Applicants should be able to work independently but
should also demonstrate good interpersonal skills and a desire to work
in a highly collaborative environment.
Candidates should apply for this position at the following link:
https://utdirect.utexas.edu/apps/hr/jobs/nlogon/140425010712
Application materials (curriculum vita, cover letter describing research
interests and experience, three letters of recommendation) can be sent
electronically to beevers(a)utexas.edu <mailto:beevers@utexas.edu>. Please

To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Dear Bio Centre Occupiers,
Works are required on the Bio Centre hot water boilers to link them to
the building management system and the fire alarm system. This will be
taking place tomorrow, Friday 6^th February. *To do this and test the
system the fire alarm will need to be activated. This will be for a few
seconds only but maybe more than once between 9am and 10am on Friday
6^th February.*
If the fire alarm rings continuously then please treat as an emergency
and follow the normal evacuation procedure.
If you have any questions please contact a member of the facilities team
at facilities(a)yorksciencepark.co.uk
<mailto:facilities@yorksciencepark.co.uk>.
Kind regards
The Facilities team.

Dear All,
I am pleased to announce that the next official SPM course covering
fMRI/MRI/VBM will take place in London: *Thursday 14^th May to Saturday
16^th May 2015.*
The course is organised by the Methods Group at the Wellcome Trust
Centre for Neuroimaging ("the FIL"), where SPM is developed. The
three-day course will be divided into theoretical sessions covering
experimental design and statistical inference and practical sessions in
which SPM12 will be used to analyse exemplar data sets. This course is
suitable for both beginners and more advanced users, with topics
including image pre-processing, the general linear model (GLM),
voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and Dynamic Causal Modelling (DCM). The
course is held directly after the SPM for MEG/EEG course, which will be
11^th -13^th May at the same venue.
*Registration opens 9^th March*and places are strictly limited. If you
would like an email reminder when registration opens, please add your
email address here - https://spmcourses.typeform.com/to/W3VGTK .
The programme for the course is below.

Researcher position (PhD student / Post-Doc level):
The Centre for Early Psychosis Studies (Head: Dr. Nikolaos Koutsouleris) at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (Chair: Prof. Dr. Peter Falkai), under the EUFP-7 project PRONIA (http://www.pronia.eu), seeks an outstanding individual for the development of multivariate biomarkers of major psychiatric diseases, including schizophrenic and affective psychoses, borderline personality and anxiety disorders. The project's aim is to construct reliable diagnostic and predictive methods that integrate neuroimaging, neurocognitive, genetic, metabolomic and clinical biomarkers using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. The salary is according the German TV-L E13 and depends on academic level of the applicant. The position is initially limited to one year, with the possibility to further extend it for another two years.
Application Criteria:
The candidate should be experienced in MATLAB programming and should be familiar with current neuroimaging processing techniques (e.g. VBM, cortex reconstruction) and software packages (SPM, FSL, Freesurfer). These skills are needed to further develop and extend in-house machine-learning techniques, including unsupervised and semi-supervised clustering techniques vector-machines and ensemble learning methods. An important focus of the work will be the analysis of genetic data acquired within PsyCourse (http://www.psycourse.de/) using the aforementioned techniques.
The successful candidate will work in the coordinating centre of a multi-centre EU Project's with a young, dynamic and multidisciplinary team. The main roles associated with this position are not restricted to scientific output, they include software production and project coordination as well. Henceforth the candidate should have a flexible and structured profile complemented by a good strategic thinking ability.
Long-standing cooperations exist with the Structural Brain Mapping Group at the University of Jena (Prof. Christian Gaser) and the Section for Biomedical Image Analysis (Prof. Christos Davatzikos).
Please send your application including a CV and a letter of recommendation to Dr. Nikolaos Koutsouleris, Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Nußbaumstr. 7, 80336 Munich, Germany or by email to nikolaos.koutsouleris(a)med.uni-muenchen.de. For further information concerning this position and our research group, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Nikolaos Koutsouleris and Carlos Cabral (carlos.cabral(a)med.uni-muenchen.de).
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. The start date is as soon as possible.
