Jennifer ---------------------------------------------------------------- METHODOS IN NEUROIMAGING COURSE ANNOUNCEMENT (Apologies for possible multiple copies) I am pleased to announce that a new edition of the course "Methods in Neuroimaging" (McGill-NEU606) will be offered this fall. This course is NOT a hands-on tutorial on how to analyze fMRI data nor a general overview of different neuroimaging methods. Rather, its aim is to help students understand the theoretical, mathematical and statistical issues behind fMRI experimental design and analysis. For that, we will make extensive use of linear (matrix) algebra and general concepts of probability and statistics, both analytically and with MATLAB. The course will consists of 12 3hr-long classes spread out throughout the term (Sept to Dec). More information about location and detailed schedule will be provided at a later time. The course is intended for graduate students who are involved in fMRI studies in the context of cognitive neuroscience and related disciplines as part of their thesis project. The course is offered by McGill and open to students in any of the Quebec universities. Students will be required to officially register (no auditing). To maximize student participation and interaction, space is limited and students will be selected based on their experience, expertise and interests to achieve an homogeneous group. Priority will be given to those who have already used one of the main analysis software packages (e.g., SPM. fmristat, AFNI, FSL). A knowledge of intermediate statistics is required and will be assumed. Evaluation will be based on in-class participation, homework and a final project (details to be provided the first day of classes) If you are interested in taking the course, please send an email to jorge.armony at mcgill.ca from an academic address (no hotmail, yahoo or gmail) with: (1) your name, (2) University, (3) Program and year (e.g., Ph.D. in Neuroscience, 2nd year), (3) Supervisor's name, (4) A (very) brief description of your research project with particular emphasis on the fMRI component, (5) at what stage you are regarding the main experiment(s) (i.e., thinking about it, designing, piloting, acquiring data, analyzing, done), and (6) what software(s) you use for the analysis and level (if any) of experience with MATLAB Jorge Armony From jennifer.chew at mcgill.ca Tue Jul 2 15:53:41 2013 From: jennifer.chew at mcgill.ca (Jennifer Chew, Ms.) Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2013 19:53:41 +0000 Subject: [BIC-announce] FW: GSAN BBQ July 4th Email to be sent out to staff In-Reply-To: <11303_1372791477_51D322B4_11303_319_2_AF3068FC45A86F4695008A00EE01FECB1BBD1CC9@exmbx2010-9.campus.MCGILL.CA> References: <11303_1372791477_51D322B4_11303_319_2_AF3068FC45A86F4695008A00EE01FECB1BBD1CC9@exmbx2010-9.campus.MCGILL.CA> Message-ID: <17E9FB1F37770C46891A5AD521DC19041BB7C10C@exmbx2010-9.campus.MCGILL.CA> From: neuro [mailto:NEURO at LISTS.MCGILL.CA] On Behalf Of Enza Ferracane, Ms. Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2013 2:58 PM To: NEURO at LISTS.MCGILL.CA Subject: [NEURO] GSAN BBQ July 4th Email to be sent out to staff Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well.

The course will focus on how novel structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are applied to understand causes and consequences of human neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. Emphasis will be placed on new methods assessing brain connectivity. Technical knowledge of MRI is not a pre-requisite for participating to this unit. Objectives - 1. Understand the basic principles of MR image analysis. 2. Critically assess published data in the field of Neuroimaging applied to various neurological disorders. 3. Design simple projects related to Neuroimaging. Instructional method - Prior to class, students will have to read typically two research articles and prepare for their discussion. Review papers will also be provided for background information, but will not be discussed in detail during the session. For each research article, students should provide a short written statement (max ? page) listing positive/negative aspects of the paper and suggestions for future improvements. In-class discussion will mainly deal with the significance of the research article and the pertinence of the methodology. The course is open to Master and PhD students.

McConnell Brain Imaging Centre Montreal Neurological Institute McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada. Montreal, July 15, 2013. The McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC) of the Montreal Neurological Institute is seeking to recruit an MRI Physicist at the Assistant/Associate Professor level. The successful candidate will join the BIC Faculty, with primary affiliation with the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University. The McConnell Brain Imaging Centre is a leading research facility with an expansive instrumentation platform consisting of: 2 research-dedicated Siemens MRI scanners (3T Trio and 1.5T Sonata), 2 human PET scanners (including a Siemens high-resolution research tomograph: HRRT), with onsite cyclotron, a 7-T small-animal Bruker MRI, a CTI microPET, a CTF/VSM 275-channel MEG instrument, and substantial computing resources. The BIC forms one of the main research resources and groups of the world-renowned Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) and Hospital, located on the downtown campus of McGill University, in the heart of Montreal. The successful candidate will become a new member of the BIC Faculty, consisting of 15 principal investigators, whose expertise covers most fields of today?s neuroimaging research. Overall, the centre is host to 150 students and staff members. Its primary vocation is to provide state-of-the- art research support and resources for the large McGill Neuroscience community and beyond. The primary missions of the candidate will be to develop original research in MRI data acquisition and pulse sequence design, to oversee the operations of the BIC 1.5-T and 3-T MRI systems, to supervise and manage a team of 4 MRI technicians in coordination with the BIC Director and MRI Research Committee, and to serve as the primary MRI physics expert at the BIC, facilitating the use of MRI by the Neuroscience community of the MNI, McGill University and all BIC users and by developing collaborations with other BIC imaging scientists. The candidate will also spearhead the acquisition of a large bore 7-T scanner, as part of the next development phase of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre. For all these reasons, the ideal candidate will demonstrate solid experience with MRI image acquisition and pulse sequence design, a strong interest in fostering multidisciplinary and translational research collaborations, experience with 3-T and 7-T image acquisition and a solid publication track-record. For informal inquiries, contact Sylvain Baillet, Interim Director of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre: sylvain.baillet at mcgill.ca. Full application should include: - complete CV - contacts of 3 references - research statement (2 pages maximum).

We invite applications for a postdoctoral research fellow for a 3 year contract, to join the Oxford Centre for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain (FMRIB). We are seeking to recruit an MR Physicist with experience in functional MRI. The post will involve developing new MR methods for measuring oxygen metabolism in the human brain. This will require elements of simulation, data collection and analysis. Comparison and validation of these new methods will involve the use of respiratory challenges and pharmacological manipulations. This is an exciting opportunity to work on developing a new generation of MRI techniques for measuring oxygen metabolism during the resting baseline and during stimulus evoked activity. It is hoped that these new methods will remove the barriers that have inhibited the widespread adoption of the current generation of quantitative functional MRI techniques. The multifaceted nature of this project means there will be opportunities to get involved in elements as diverse as MRI pulse programming and venous blood sampling. Experience with any or all of the following would be advantageous: MATLAB, image analysis, biophysical simulation, operating MRI scanners, respiratory or pharmacological manipulations, MRI pulse programming. The successful candidate will have, or be about to receive, a PhD in a relevant area of Physics or Engineering. They should also have a demonstrated capacity for independent work and excellent written and oral communication skills. Informal email enquiries may be made to Dr Nicholas Blockley on the contact details below. Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. The closing date for applications is 12.00 midday on Wednesday 21 August 2013. Interviews will be held shortly thereafter. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
