*Postdoctoral Fellow Position on High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging*
**
*_Job description:_*
National University of Singapore (NUS) is a leading global university
centre in Asia. It offers a global approach to education and research,
with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise.Computation functional
anatomy laboratory at NUS (http://www.bioeng.nus.edu.sg/cfa) focuses on
mathematical modeling of anatomy and function of the brain from medical
images.
We are looking for candidate who is interested in the development of
fundamental mathematical tools for handling HARDI data and new
data-driven biological discoveries brought about by such novel modeling
and analysis methods, that are otherwise unattainable in vivo. Our group
is currently conducting large studies on normal aging and dementia that
include HARDI, resting state fMRI, structural T1 data, and genetic data.
The candidate will have unique opportunity to explore multi-modal
imaging data in association with psychopathology and genetic regulation.
*_Requirements:_*
·Ph. D or MD
·Research background on manifold, manifold learning is preferable
·Good communication and writing skills in English language

Postdoc position: fMRI of number processing at NeuroSpin
We are looking for a bright and motivated postdoc to join a research
project related to the representation of number in the human brain which
will use high-field / high-resolution functional imaging (at 7 Tesla).
This position will be available within the INSERM Cognitive Neuroimaging
Unit (www.unicog.org <http://www.unicog.org/>, directed by Stanislas
Dehaene), situated at the NeuroSpin Center in the greater Paris area.
The position is funded for 2 years within a 4-year project financed by
the French National Research Agency (PI Evelyn Eger).
The ideal candidate will come from a background of visual neuroscience,
potentially including the processing of number. Previous experience in
functional imaging is required (and would ideally include multivariate
decoding and/or surface-based analysis), and good programming skills in
either matlab or python will be a strong plus. Good communication skills
in English (oral and written) are necessary.
The intended starting date for the position is around July or September
2015. Formal applications should include a Curriculum Vitae, application
letter with statement of research interests, and the names and contact
information of two researchers who would be willing to provide a
reference. Please send your application by email before 15^th December
or address further questions to evelyn.eger(a)cea.fr

Hi,
Just a reminder that due to MSc Cognitive Neuroscience induction sessions, YNiC Open Plan
will be unavailable for users tomorrow at 1000-12000 and 1300-1500.
Most MSc teaching at YNiC happens in the Spring term - we'll send around
more details of these times once they are finalised.
Thanks,
Mark
*Job postings: Two (2) Open Positions in Applied Neuroscience JHU/APL*
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), a
national leader in scientific research and development, located midway
between Baltimore and Washington, DC is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow
and Research Scientist in Applied Neuroscience. The APL Applied
Neuroscience program area currently focuses on developing solutions to
the critical challenges of the Department of Defense and the
Intelligence Community in the core technical areas of computational
neuroscience, brain-computer interface, neural prosthetics,
systems/cognitive neuroscience, and non-invasive functional neuroimaging
(http://www.jhuapl.edu/ourwork/red/an/expertise.asp).
*There are currently two open positions in Applied Neuroscience:
Postdoctoral Fellow, and Neural Signal Processing Engineer / Research
Scientist. *
*Applied Neuroscience Postdoctoral Fellow* (apply at
https://jhuapl.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=07941)
Lead applied neuroscience effort collecting, analyzing, and utilizing
non-invasive neural signals (e.g. fMRI, MEG, EEG, NIRS) for development
of machine learning algorithms and neural computational models, and for
use in novel applications. Role will include a focus on publishing and
presentation of results and composition of technical reports.
*Neural Signal Processing Engineer / Research Scientist* (apply at
https://jhuapl.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=07960)
Lead an applied neuroscience research effort that utilizes non-invasive
neural imaging tools (fMRI, MEG, or fNIRS) as an enabling technology for
neural modeling development, future paradigms of human-computer
interactions, and investigation of knowledge representation and
neurophysiological correlates of human behavior and cognition. Role will
include a focus on publishing and presentation of results, sponsor
engagement, and composition of technical reports.
Human Neuroscience and Visual Cognition Lab
Department of Psychology
Wright State University
A post-doc position is now available at the newly established Human
Neuroscience and Visual Cognition Lab at the Department of Psychology,
Wright State University. The lab is headed by Dr. Assaf Harel and
investigates high-level vision and its neural substrates. We are
particularly interested in how visual recognition occurs in real-world
settings and adopt a neuroergonomic approach to study the applied
aspects of high-level vision. For this purpose, we employ a diversity of
cognitive neuroscience methods, including fMRI, EEG, psychophysics, and
eye tracking. Research topics include, but are not limited to the
following areas: visual expertise, object and scene recognition,
categorization and perceptual learning.
The position is fully funded for two years. The successful candidate
will hold a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology,
Neurobiology, Computer Science, or any other related discipline by the
start date of the position. Strong background and familiarity with fMRI
or EEG research is required. Experience in computer programming,
especially with Matlab is highly encouraged and will be considered a
strong advantage.
Applicants should send their CV, a short statement of their research
interests and contact information for two references to Dr. Assaf Harel
at: assaf.harel(a)wright.edu <mailto:assaf.harel@wright.edu>.
The Department of Psychology is housed in the College of Science and
Mathematics, offers a Ph.D. in Human Factors and Industrial/
Organizational Psychology, and has 3 undergraduate concentration areas:
(1) Cognition and Perception, (2) Industrial/ Organizational, and (3)
Behavioral Neuroscience. Wright State University was recently ranked
among the Best in the Midwest universities by The Princeton Review,
listed among 260 Best National Universities in the annual Americas
Best Colleges rankings by U.S. News and World Report, and ranked fourth
nationally among universities with limited numbers of doctoral programs
in the Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index. Wright State University is
an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
Dear all,
All the computers have been sold.
