Fwd: Post-doctoral fellow position
by Gary Green 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

The Neuroimaging Research Core at the Marcus Autism Center in the Department of Pediatrics at Emory University, in collaboration with the Biomedical Imaging Technology Center in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Emory University/Georgia Tech, is offering a full time position as Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering, MR physics, Computer Sciences, Neuroscience, Psychology or related fields, as well as research experience in MRI image and brain network analyses. Experience with MRI analysis software packages (i.e., FSL, AFNI for diffusion and functional MRI data analyses) and strong computer programming skills (MATLAB, C/C++ & Bash scripts) are required. The Neuroimaging Research Core at Marcus is currently conducting several large-scale longitudinal infant and school-aged neuroimaging studies. The Core has a strong interest in developmental brain changes in very young infants (0 to 6 months) and in young children. The goal of these studies is to understand how autism spectrum disorders (ASD) impact the development of brain and behavior. The applicant will be expected to (i) develop computational and statistics methods to analyze neuroimaging data from infants and school-aged children (in both cross-sectional and longitudinal data sets), (ii) design and implement novel techniques for optimizing data collection from infants and children, (iii) prepare manuscripts and extramural grants, and (iv) collaborate with MRI physicists, social neuroscientists, engineers, and clinicians. The position-holder will be expected to work closely with the Biomedical Imaging Technology Center (directed by Dr. Xiaoping Hu) and the Social Neuroscience Lab (directed by Dr. Warren Jones) at the Marcus Autism Center. The Biomedical Imaging Technology Center is a research center of the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, a joint department of Georgia Tech and Emory University specializing in functional brain imaging, high-field imaging, in vivo spectroscopy, and molecular imaging. The Marcus Autism Center is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It is the country’s largest center for clinical care of children and adolescents with ASD, with more than 5,000 unique children and their families served each year. The Center is also one of the national hubs of science in the field of developmental disabilities, designated by NIH as an Autism Center of Excellence. Programs range from social and behavioral neuroscience, to molecular genetics and model systems, to the augmentation of community resources and community-viable treatments. The position is available immediately and the initial appointment is for one year. Renewal is expected if progress is satisfactory. Emory University School of Medicine offers competitive benefits and salary package in line with NIH guidelines and has been ranked high as one of the “Best Places to Work for Postdocs”. Interested candidates should email to Dr. Longchuan Li (lli36(a)emory.edu <mailto:lli36@emory.edu>, please include the word “POSTDOC” in the subject of the email), with a cover letter and CV. Qualified candidates will be asked to have 3 letters of reference forwarded to Dr. Li. *Related publications:* Jones, W., and A. Klin.

Fwd: Advert for Research Associate/Post-doc position
by Gary Green 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

UNIVERSITY OF YORK DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY Research Associate Ref: 4053 The Department of Psychology at the University of York is seeking a full time Research Associate to work on a project entitled ‘Assessing visual cortex in candidates for retinal prosthetics’. The project will use MRI methods to measure changes in the function and structure of human visual cortex in patients with visual loss resulting from age-related macular degeneration before and after implantation with retinal prosthetics. It is funded by the Wellcome Trust through the Centre for Chronic Diseases and Disorders (C2D2) at the University of York. The successful candidate will design and run neuroimaging experiments in patients using MRI, fMRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), present findings at meetings and prepare manuscripts for submission to leading journals. The work will be based at the University of York, supervised by Dr Heidi Baseler and Prof Tony Morland, in collaboration with Profs Paulo Stanga (Manchester), Ione Fine (U of Washington), Geoff Boynton (U of Washington), Dr Victoria Allgar (York) and Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. (California). Ideally, candidates will have a PhD in vision science, neuroimaging, neuroscience, experimental psychology, medicine or related area at the time of taking up the appointment. However, applicants without a PhD, but with relevant research experience in vision science and/or neuroimaging will be considered. While the post is in the Department of Psychology, those with qualifications in other disciplines – such as Physics, Maths, Computer Science, Engineering or Medicine - will be considered for the post. Experience in human neuroimaging in techniques such as structural MRI, fMRI and MRS will be particularly valuable, but applications from those with experience in only one of these areas will be considered. Experience publishing in high profile, peer-reviewed journals is desirable. As this study involves working with macular degeneration patients, experience with similar patients or other sensitive groups with visual impairment would also be helpful. Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Heidi Baseler (Email: heidi.baseler(a)york.ac.uk <mailto:heidi.baseler@york.ac.uk>; Tel: +44 (0) 1904 322862) or Professor Antony Morland (Email: antony.morland(a)york.ac.uk <mailto:antony.morland@york.ac.uk>; Tel: +44 (0) 1904 322860).

Fwd: PhD: social neuroscience & machine learning
by Gary Green 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

PhD position at the intersection between social neuroscience and machine learning "Brain networks of social interaction across connectivity types" The Human Brain Project leverages authentically interdisciplinary neuroscience. In an innovative approach, we will investigate the neurobiological network architecture underlying the entire spectrum of social-interaction skills, including emotion, perspective-taking, and empathy. We target social processes in the brain because they most clearly set human beings apart from other species (TEDx talk: http://bit.ly/VJES2Q). Given the challenging nature of social cognition, we will capitalize on data-driven methods that learn patterns in four different types of brain connectivity data with a minimum of a-priori assumptions. This goal will necessitate close collaboration between the neuroimaging methods group in Paris, France, and the cognitive neuroscience group in Düsseldorf/Jülich, Germany. Completion of this PhD program allows you to become part of the badly needed, new generation of computationally trained imaging neuroscientists. What you would work on - Work on questions that matter with multivariate statistical tools applicable beyond imaging neuroscience, in teams that are knowledgeable, passionate, and fun. - We aim at the characterization of the neurobiology of social cognition as a whole. This includes both low-level (e.g. face processing) as well as high-level (e.g. Theory of Mind) aspects. We will perform a variety of connectivity and data-mining approaches. - Aimed at multi-modal connectivity characterization, the project will involve 1) meta-analytic functional connectivity (MACM), 2) resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC), 3) structural covariance (SCOV), and 4) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). - All methods are established, making this position an excellent opportunity to learn various approaches for the analysis of structural and functional neuroimaging data - This will allow for a comprehensive neurobiological model of social interaction processes in healthy humans that is cross-validated across methods What we expect - High motivation for inter-disciplinary challenges - an analytical, problem-solving mindset - MSc or equivalent in computer science, physics, biomedical engineering, psychology, medicine, biology (technical background is strongly preferred) - Talent with computers, programming experience (especially in Python) is strongly preferred - Experience in MRI analysis (SPM, FSL) is preferred - Fluent in written+oral English language - Geographic mobility: first part of the PhD will be in Paris, second part will be in Düsseldorf/Jülich What we provide We guarantee a three-year PhD position, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The position is available immediately. Applications will be considered until the position is filled. Payment will correspond to salary grade 13/2 of the German Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Civil Services (TVöD).
