*Call for application: Post doc position in advanced data analysis methods for MEG and EEG data: Deep brain source localization and causality analysis* *_Location_*: Centre MEG-EEG, Centre for Neuroimaging Research of the CRICM, Brain and Spine Institute (ICM) - Paris - France Applications are invited for a postdoc position supervised by N. George & D. Schwartz to develop and to optimize advanced data analysis methods dedicated to EEG & MEG. Our aim is to characterize the dynamic, functional brain networks involved in various brain functions both at the cortical and subcortical levels. Based on our recent results (Attal & Schwartz 2013; Fasoula & Schwartz 2013), the successful applicant will: 1) propose, test, and implement new inverse approaches to characterize sources in deep brain areas 2) adapt or propose new causality measures to characterize the localized cortical and subcortical networks. The proposed approach should integrate across-subjects analysis to handle inter-individual variability and offer statistical tools for source and causality analysis. It will be implemented in tight interaction with the signal processing and data analysis group of the MEG-EEG platform. The developed methods will be made available for all users of the platform. In particular, the successful applicant is expected to help researchers to use the proposed approaches, and he/she will be particularly involved in studies onresting state and default mode network, in normal and clinical populations, and on emotion and the functional architecture of the social and emotional brain, with Denis Schwartz and Nathalie George. The successful applicant should have a strong background in inverse problem resolution methods and causality measures both from a methodological and a practical points of view. Prior experience with time series analysis is mandatory. He / She should have an excellent knowledge in software development (C++, Matlab). He / She should appreciate team work and collaborative software development. He/she is expected to show autonomy and project leading capacities. The MEG-EEG Centre is located within the Brain and Spine Institute (http://www.icm-institute.org <http://www.icm.org>), where the Centre for Neuroimaging Research (http://www.cenir.org/ <http://www.cenir.org/>) gathers state-of-the-art multimodal imaging facilities including on site MEG, EEG, MRI, and TMS. The successful applicant will be integrated in the team of the MEG-EEG Centre that gathers a total of 8 staff members (including engineers, technicians, and researchers). The position is opened initially for 12 months and can be extended. The starting date is from September 2013 or as soon as the position can be filled. Salary will be commensurate with experience within the salary scale of the French governemental research institutions (~2100 euros per month). For further information or to submit an application (CV including a list of publications, a minimum of two reference letters, or contacts from who these references could be obtained, and a letter of intent with a statement of research interests), please contact Denis Schwartz and Nathalie George, email: Denis.Schwartz(a)upmc.fr <mailto:Denis.Schwartz@upmc.fr>/ Nathalie.George(a)upmc.fr <mailto:Nathalie.George@upmc.fr> **
