Dear all,
Open positions @ Brainntome Center.
http://brainnetome.org/en/recruitment.html
*Job 1: PhD Positions in Neuroimaging and Neuroscience, Beijing, China
Brainnetome Center*
*Applications Deadline: March 15 , 2015. *
*Brainnetome Center*
Brainnetome Center ( www.brainnetome.org <http://www.brainnetome.org/>)
at Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA) is
one part of CAS Center for Excellence in Brain Science. Researchers at
the Brainnetome Center work on a wide topics in neuroimaging and
brainnetome, such as, neuroimaging, brain networks, new neurotechnique
development, simulating and modelling, and their applications in
neurological and psychiatric diseases, to discover the molecular,
cellular, and brain network mechanisms that underlie the ability of the
brain to function.
Neuroscience is entering an era of accelerated discovery driven by the
application of new molecular, genetic and imaging technologies, which
will provide a deeper understanding of the regulation and function of
the nervous system. Significant advances in determining the molecular
regulation of nerve cell function and development will have a major
impact on our understanding of more complex areas such as behaviour,
cognition, ageing, neurological disease and mental illness. The
researchers of Brainnetome Center is to promote excellence in
neuroscience by fostering the exchange of ideas, establishing new
collaborations and augmenting partnerships that already exist within the
wider Chinese brain science and information technology communities.
*The role*
Convergent evidence has shown that most psychiatric disorders are
associated with faulty brain networks. In order to understand how the
brain works and the pathophysiological mechanism of psychiatric
disorders, it is necessary to integrate the multi-level network features
obtained with various functional and anatomical brain imaging
technologies on different scales. We have proposed a new concept of
"Brainnetome" to represent such integration framework. Our Center here
closely collaborates with researchers at Queensland Brain Institute of
University of Queensland in Australia, INSERM Lyon in France, and
Research Center Juelich in Germany to study basic theory, methodologies,
algorithms and platform of the Brainnetome at multiple scales, and their
applications in neurological and psychiatric diseases. It envisions that
the brainnetome will become an emerging co-frontier of brain imaging,
information technology, neurology and psychiatry. Some long-standing
issues in neuropsychiatry may be solved by combining Brainnetome with
genome.
Several PhD positions are available at Brainnetome Center of CASIA to
utilise neuroimaging technologies to discover mechanisms of brain
networks. These positions will be supported by CAS-TWAS President's
Fellowship Programme for PhD Candidates
(http://twas.org/opportunity/cas-twas-presidents-phd-fellowship-programme).
They involve developing neuroimage analysis methods and tools and
applying them to neuroscience and clinical problems. In this role the
students will develop skills in developing computational algorithms and
computer programming in neuroimage analysis that could be utilised in
both basic research and clinical areas.
*The person*
Applicants should meet the requirements of "CAS-TWAS President's
Fellowship Programme for PhD Candidates" and have MSc degree in one of
the following fields: neuroimaging, neuroscience, neurobiology,
psychology, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry, neurology, computer
science, electronic engineering, mathematics, and physics. Outstanding
C/C++ programming skills in Linux are highly desired.

*Job 2: Postdoctoral Fellow in Imaging Genetics at Queensland Brain
Institute*
The Neuroimaging and Brainnetome Laboratory of Queensland Brain
Institute (QBI) and Centre for Advanced Imaging (CAI) at the University
of Queensland, Australia, solicits applications for postdoctoral fellow
positions in imaging genetics of the human and mice. We are looking for
an excellent and highly motivated candidate with a PhD degree in
neurobiology, genetics, experimental psychology, and neuroimaging or
comparable background. Interest and/or previous experience in/with
neuroscience, animal MRI, design and image analysis as well as wet lab
experience are a plus. The successful candidate will participate in the
multidisciplinary project involves developing transgenic mice model of
psychiatric and neurological diseases. The main focus of this project is
to address how risky genes of schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease
affect brain networks in the human and mice. The postdoctoral fellows will
be jointly supervised by Professor Tianzi Jiang and other Professors
(QBI) who are experts in neuroscience. As at 30 June 2014, an applicant
must not have had more than five years full-time equivalent professional
research experience since the award of a PhD. The current salary range
for the award is on a four-level scale from A$71,528.60 – A$79,708.50
per annum. Commencing salaries are based strictly on the number of full
years’ experience since receiving a doctorate. Salary scales are
reviewed from time to time.
Please contact Professor Tianzi Jiang on tianzi.jiang(a)uq.edu.au
<mailto:tianzi.jiang@uq.edu.au> for research plan. To submit an
application for these positions, please refer to
