Three distinct, and complementary positions are currently available, all supported by a Wellcome Trust Investigator Award entitled ‘ Tractometry’. The overall aim of the project is to develop and apply robust, multi-modal quantitative methods to explore the microstructural underpinnings of individual differences in normal healthy cognition and electrophysiology. The appointees will work in the newly-expanded (£44m) Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre ( http://sites.cardiff.ac.uk/cubric ). This 6500 m 2 research-dedicated centre, (one of the largest in Europe), houses a Siemens 300mT/m Connectom system, a 7 Tesla MRI system, and 2 x Prisma 3T MRI systems, alongside MEG, EEG, brain stimulation and cognitive testing laboratories, and a vibrant community of basic science and clinical researchers. There is one postdoctoral position in each of the following research areas: Cognitive Microstructural Imaging: You will be responsible for developing and running cognitive assessments to explore how individual differences in cognition relate to individual differences in tissue microstructure, and how cognitive training impacts on different white matter attributes. (Please apply for 4400BR) Other posts you may be interested in: Microstructural Imaging: You will develop and integrate quantitative microstructural imaging techniques, including advanced models of diffusion, quantitative relaxometry, quantitative magnetization transfer and quantitative susceptibility imaging. You will be encouraged to exploit the hardware capabilities of the Connectom and 7T systems. (Please apply for (4398BR) Connectomics: You will work on integrating measures of functional connectivity (from MEG / FMRI) with measures of macro-scale structural connectivity and tissue microstructure. Example areas include Dynamic Causal Modelling, Canonical Correlation and Graph Theory Analyses. Please apply for (4399BR) We are looking for highly collaborative, curious researchers that are able to communicate their research effectively to colleagues across a broad range of disciplines.

PLEASE VISIT http://goo.gl/r8gSSm for more information -============================ The Department of Neurology at Thomas Jefferson University/Jefferson Medical College has an opening for a Two-Year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Clinical Neuroimaging focusing on both clinical brain mapping and primary cognitive neuroscience investigations. The emphasis in our neuroimaging program is on cognitive and behavioral network organization and plasticity in neurologic disorders such as epilepsy. Other neurologic conditions, however, are also studied such as tumor. Presurgical brain map ing studies are undertaken (MRI volumetrics, task-fMRI, resting state functional connectivity, diffusion imaging, electrocortical stimulation, and neuropsychological assessment) as well as post-surgical neuroimaging studies investigating clinical, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes. The pre-surgical brain mapping studies are conducted on a regular basis, utilized in image-guided surgery, and then made available for research. Studies in brain recovery and the cognitive reorganization of language and memory functions are emphasized, along with projects in electrophysiology and brain stimulation, yielding rich multi-modal datasets for the investigation of both cognitive and pathologic (e.g., seizure) networks. Thomas Jefferson University provides an interdisciplinary environment with grand rounds, seminars, case conferences, and opportunities to collaborate with faculty across departments such as neurosurgery and radiology. Successful applicants must have a strong background in image processing (e.g., MATLAB, SPM, FSL) with a strong interest in clinical neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience. Applicants must have a PHD or MD in neuroscience, biophysics, biomedical engineering, statistics, neuropsychology or related field. Interested applicants should send a CV and cover letter stating experience and interests, and three letters of recommendation. Anticipated start date is September 1, 2016. Contact: Joseph I.

We investigate how functional brain networks interact and reconfigure when confronted with changing cognitive demands, when experiencing transformations across development, and when facing disruptions in healthy functioning due to disease. The lab uses behavioral, neuroimaging, and clinical approaches taken from neuroscience, psychology, and mathematics to address our research questions. We have two main projects you would be involved with: one is investigating moment-to-moment network dynamics during rest and task in healthy individuals, and the other is investigating how treatment ameliorates dysfunctional network organization and dynamics in children with ADHD, and how normalization of connectivity patterns contributes to improvements in symptomatology and cognition. Responsibilities include conducting neuroimaging scans, processing and analyzing neuroimaging and behavioral data, supervising graduate students and research assistants, and preparing manuscripts for publication. Necessary qualifications include: 1) a Ph.D. in Psychology, Neuroscience or a related field; 2) experience programming, particularly with python, unix and/or matlab; 3) experience with neuroimaging software packages (e.g., FSL, AFNI, SPM); 4) experience with collecting, processing and analyzing functional connectivity data; and 5) a strong publication record. Preference will be given to candidates who additionally have: 1) experience working with children (typically developing and/or with developmental disorders); and 2) experience with advanced analytic techniques (e.g., graph theory). Position is for two years, but may be extended. Interested applicants should send their CV, a cover letter describing their research interests and career goals, and contact info for 2-3 references to Dr. Jessica Cohen (jrcohen(a)unc.edu).
