Dear all, There are two positions available in the new Metacognition Group at the WTCN (aka the FIL) at UCL, starting October 2015. Both will focus on the neural basis of metacognition in humans using a range of behavioural, computational and cognitive neuroscience approaches. There will additionally be opportunities to develop collaborations with the Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry and Ageing Research to study disorders of metacognition in clinical populations. For more details please follow the links below: 1) Postdoctoral Research Associate (Grade 7) - bitly.com/1A0Kp1o <http://bitly.com/1A0Kp1o> 2) Research Assistant (Grade 6) - bit.ly/1aITo2L <http://bit.ly/1aITo2L> The closing date for applications is 26th March. If you have any questions please get in touch (sf102(a)nyu.edu <mailto:sf102@nyu.edu>) Best wishes Steve Fleming -- Stephen M.

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

Fwd: Matlab licence renewal and toolbox requirements: action required
by Paul Elliott 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Dear users, Last year the University centralised all Matlab licenses at York and registered them to IT Services. The initial contract offered all Matlab toolboxes for a one year trial period. This trial period concludes in April. IT Services are now reviewing the contract for Matlab and will only be licensing a limited selection of toolboxes based on user feedback. We would therefore like to collect usage information from users at YNiC. If you are using Matlab at YNiC and use *any* toolboxes please send details of your requirements to it-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, subject 'Matlab toolboxes'. We will collect all the responses and forward a summary to IT Services detailing our requirements. Please send your responses by Wednesday 11th March at the latest. Many thanks, Paul. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Matlab licence renewal and toolbox requirements: action required Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 12:17:21 +0000 From: Joanne Casey <joanne.casey(a)york.ac.uk> To: dcos <dcos-group(a)york.ac.uk> Dear DCOs, This message is sent on behalf of Sarah Butcher, our Software Licensing Co-ordinator. Please send any responses to itsupport(a)york.ac.uk <mailto:itsupport@york.ac.uk>. Our Matlab site licence is due for renewal in April. The site licence negotiated last year included all available Matlab toolboxes on a trial basis. Matlab is now offering us a standard configuration of Matlab with a number of selected toolboxes included in the licence. We will, of course, have the option to purchase additional toolboxes if required. To help us identify the correct requirements for the University, please consult with Matlab users in your department as soon as possible to confirm which toolboxes are essential to your department and send this information toitsupport(a)york.ac.uk <mailto:itsupport@york.ac.uk>no later than Friday 13 March.
