The project aims at providing a characterization of the neurophysiological basis of the brain?s resting state networks (RSNs) by determining how communication between and within RSNs is mediated, using electro-/magnetoencephaolographic (E/MEG) data from healthy participants. In the second part of the project the characterization of RSN electrophysiology will be used to improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of Parkinson?s disease. A particular focus will be on tracing out the electrophysiological mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of dopamine treatment and deep brain stimulation. The jobs involve research design, data collection, data analysis, methods developments/implementation, presenting at conferences, and participating in the writing up of the results. The PostDoc is also expected to assist in the supervision and training of junior lab members. Preferable candidates will have a strong background in physics, neuroscience, electrophysiology, biology, computer science or related fields. Knowledge of MEG/EEG biophysics, data acquisition and analysis, biostatistics, and signal processing or the willingness and capability to quickly acquire this knowledge are essential. Qualities we are looking for: ? Good scientific programming and data processing skills ? Familiarity with Matlab and LaTeX ? Solid knowledge of descriptive and inductive statistics and time series analysis ? Previous exposure to M/EEG source estimation, Brainstorm, and fMRI resting state analysis are considered a plus ? Strong motivation to carry out neuroimaging studies utilizing MEG and to perform source and connectivity analysis ? Knowledge of neuroscience concepts ? Good interpersonal and communication skills, particularly in the interaction with subjects and patients (beneficial: knowledge of German) ? Excellent skills in written and spoken English; ? Proven track record of academic excellence What we offer: The group is part of the Institute for Clinical Neuroscience and Medical Psychology at Heinrich-Heine University, D?sseldorf, located in the capital of Germany?s biggest state. The institute hosts a state-of-the-art 306 channel MEG-system and a 128 channel EEG system as well as a 3T MRI. The Heinrich-Heine University (HHU) is part of the Neuroscience Network D?sseldorf, a collaborative effort jointly with the Research Centre J?lich and the IUF - Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine D?sseldorf. A particular focus of this network is the investigation of disease-associated pathomechanisms such as the one of Parkinson's disease. At the HHU D?sseldorf the graduate school iBrain has been established and enables graduate students to obtain further formal qualifications in neuroscience. Terms and conditions for this position: Both positions are available from 1st of July 2016 or until filled. The initial appointment is for 2-3 years (postdoc) or 3 years (PhD student). Salary for the PostDoc will be according to E13/TV-L and for the PhD up to 0.65 E13/TV-L. Health insurance is included. The contract will be affiliated with Heinrich Heine University D?sseldorf. Female candidates are encouraged to apply; they will be given preference in cases of equal aptitude, ability, and professional achievements unless there are exceptional reasons for choosing another applicant. Applications from suitably qualified severely disabled persons or disabled persons regarded as being of equal status according to Book IX of the German Social Legal Code (SGB ?

I am happy that we can now announce that our CFI application to upgrade our 3T to a 64-channel multinuclear Prisma has been funded in full. The fund has just been officially opened, and we are working to finalize the PO so that Siemens can schedule the upgrade for December 2016. As you can imagine, finding an optimal time for the upgrade has been a challenging exercise. Although I realize the upgrade will be a disruption to some, I would like to stress that the Prisma will represent a significant advance in our imaging capabilities with improved shimming, stronger gradients, and the ability to perform multinuclear spectroscopy (P, Na etc.) I believe that in the vast majority of cases, five months lead-time will be sufficient for researchers to adapt study designs to avoid significant confounding effects from the scanner upgrade. The standard strategy for avoiding bias is to counterbalance imaging sessions so that similar numbers of (e.g.) patients and controls are imaged on each scanner variant. Longitudinal studies pose a greater challenge, but we will organize a series of test-retest scans before and after that will help identify any systematic effects associated with a given scanner. I would encourage anyone who is concerned about adjusting their study design to contact Mike and/or Ilana; we will do our best to ensure that the upgrade does not impact anyone?s ability to publish data acquired on this system. Thanks to all for your contributions in what has been a truly flourishing MRI program.
