Fwd: Cognitive Neuroscience Postdoctoral Fellowship in Mental Health

by Gary Green

*Cognitive Neuroscience Postdoctoral Fellowship in Mental Health* A postdoctoral fellowship position is available at the University of Texas at Austin, Department of Psychology and Institute for Mental Health Research to conduct research with Drs. Christopher Beevers and David Schnyer. This position is for two years with the possibility of extending the fellowship or transitioning to research faculty by mutual agreement based on job performance and funding availability. Duration and start time are negotiable. Salary is commensurate with experience and consistent with NIH guidelines. We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow in cognitive neuroscience with strong expertise in eye tracking and EEG/ERP methods who is interested in translational research involving clinical populations. The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to a program of research that examines the etiology and treatment of depression in adults across multiple levels of analyses (behavioral, genetic, neural, environmental). Ongoing studies include dual process models of reward and punishment processing, genetic etiology of cognitive vulnerability to depression, and real-time neurofeedback attention training in depressed adults. In addition to SR Research eye-tracking and Brain Vision EEG equipment located in Dr. Beeversâ?? laboratory, the postdoctoral fellow will have access to other cognitive neuroscience resources at the University of Texas at Austin, including fMRI, MR compatible EEG, TMS, and MEG. The postdoctoral fellow will primarily be responsible for designing and implementing EEG and eye tracking experiments, preparing 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, 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, and 3) an interest in clinical populations. Experience with Matlab (i.e., EEGLab, Psychtoolbox) and statistical analysis programs (R, Stata) is also required. 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. Application materials (curriculum vita, cover letter describing research interests and experience, three letters of recommendation) can be sent electronically toÂ beevers(a)utexas.edu <mailto:beevers@utexas.edu>.

connectivity club

by Gary Green

Dear Users Tomorrow, the 20th of November, the connectivity club will be meeting at 4pm in BO20 in Psychology. This is instead of the normal ynic seminar. The connectivity club is basically a gang of individuals from around the university who meet from time to time to talk about... brain connectivity. It is very informal, it varies from being a journal paper discussion to discussing potential experiments and sometimes improbable grant applications. Tomorrow Miles Whittington and I are talking about canonical microcircuits, dynamic causal modelling and connectivity. This is a discussion about how we might overcome the shortcomings of DCM and move towards a more practical, biophysically plausible, way of dealing with connectivity in MEG. It is a preliminary discussion before planning a large scale MEG data collection exercise. It is not a seminar about a previous finished study. All are welcome. There will be refreshments afterwards followed by an informal discussion in the Derramore.

Post-Doctoral Fellow Position: Applications are currently being invited for a Post-Doctoral Fellow position available in the Computational Neuroimaging Lab (CNL; http://computational-neuroimaging-lab.org) at the Child Mind Institute, under the direction of Cameron Craddock, PhD. The overarching goal of the CNL’s research is the identification of objective imaging-based markers of pathology to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric illness. The primary responsibility of this position is to develop novel analytical methods that integrate information from a variety of imaging modalities (resting state and task fMRI, real-time fMRI, EEG, DTI, structural MRI), with brain stimulation techniques (tDCS, tACS, TMS), and phenotypic variables for the characterization of brain development and function in clinical and non-clinical populations. To facilitate their research, fellows will work as a part of a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary team that integrates a broad range of disparate specialties (e.g. cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychology, computer science, engineering, mathematics). Responsibilities: • Large-scale analysis of fMRI, simultaneous EEG/fMRI, DTI and structural neuroimaging data. • Develop and maintain open source software tools for preprocessing, analyzing, and curating neuroimaging data. • Author manuscripts and presentations describing accomplished research. • Supervise junior level researchers and graduate students. Qualifications: • PhD in biomedical engineering, cognitive science, electrical engineering, mathematics, or physics. • Significant prior neuroimaging experience with MRI, with strong skills in preprocessing and analyzing neuroimaging data using one or more of the common neuroimaging packages (e.g., AFNI, FSL, Freesurfer, Diffusion Toolbkit, or SPM). • Programming experience in C/C++, Matlab, Python, and similar platforms. • Motivated self-starter with great attitude and flexibility. • Ability to work in a fast paced environment. Salary and Anticipated Start Date: Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience/educational qualifications. Benefits include health, vision, and dental. Anticipated Start Date is immediate. Application details: Please email cameron.craddock(a)childmind.org to apply, please include a CV including the names of 3 references with your inquiry. Employment at Will Relationship: This position description does not constitute a guarantee that employment will continue for any specified period of time.
