CFI support of initial 7T operating costs allows us to offer discounted pricing for early adopters according to the following schedule: Years 1-2: $500/hour (June 1, 2019 to May 31, 2021) Years 3-4: $600/hour (June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2023) Years 5+: $700/hour (June 1, 2023 onward) Please consider the above dates carefully when planning grant budgets, to ensure adequate funds are requested. PIs are wholly responsible for planning of study timelines, including potential delays, and must apply the appropriate hourly rates based on the schedule indicated above. I hope this information will prove helpful, and that we will see many funded projects to take advantage of this exciting new instrument.

The position is funded by National Science Foundation (NSF) and is renewable yearly for up to 4 years. The planned research project involves a combination of cutting-edge human brain imaging technologies, including ultra-highfield (7 Tesla) fMRI and magnetoencephalography (MEG) in healthy subjects, electrocorticography (ECoG) in neurosurgical patients, along with psychophysics and neuropsychology. We are looking for a candidate with a passion for perceptual and cognitive neuroscience, independent critical thinking, strong analytical and quantitative skills, and good interpersonal skills. Experience with human brain imaging (such as fMRI, MEG, or ECoG) and excellent programming skills are highly desirable. Our laboratory is located on the medical campus of New York University in Manhattan, NY, and is affiliated with the Neuroscience Institute, Department of Neurology, and Department of Radiology. The position is expected to start in fall-winter of 2019, but early spring of 2020 is also possible. We provide competitive salary and benefits that adjust for cost of living in New York City. To apply, please send a CV, a cover letter, a statement of scientific and career goals, and names and contacts of three referees to Prof. Biyu Jade He (email: biyu.jade.he at gmail.com) with the subject line ?post doctoral application 2019?.

Excellent English (oral and written) and good communication skills are necessary. Strong computational and programming skills are preferred. Appropriate areas of doctoral training include, but are not limited to, cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and computer science. The successful candidate would join the multidisciplinary team of world-class neurologists, neuropsychologists, speech-language pathologists, engineers, and cognitive scientists working at the UCSF - Memory and Aging Center, the largest cognitive and behavioral neurology center in the United States. Cognitive neuroscience research will integrate our rich, multidisciplinary datasets to study the cognitive, clinical, anatomical, and neuropathological correlates of disease. To apply, please send a cover letter, a CV, and 3 names of potential references to elizabeth.weis at ucsf.edu Informal inquiries are most welcome. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Social Function Lab at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center has a postdoctoral fellowship position open for a researcher specializing in brain imaging analyses. Directed by Dr. Kate Rankin, the Social Function Lab is an NIH-funded research program that studies the neural correlates of behavior, socioemotional processing, and social interactions, both in patients with neurodegenerative disease and healthy aging individuals. Key activities during the fellowship will include analyzing fMRI (task-based and task-free), structural MRI, DTI, and other data to examine the functional correlates of various social-cognitive and emotional mechanisms, as well as designing/conducting/analyzing data from task-based fMRI experiments with aging adults and patients. Interest in developing academic skills, including writing scientific papers, presenting at conferences, and submitting proposals for independent funding, is a preferred characteristic of applicants. Over the course of the fellowship, the incumbent will gain substantial expertise in theoretical models of the neural processes underlying socioemotional cognition, and familiarity with the symptom constellations of the major classes of neurodegenerative disorders. Candidates must have a PhD in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology or a related field, with a strong background in quantitative MRI analysis (Matlab/SPM/FSL etc.) Knowledge in the domain of social neuroscience will be considered an asset, as will familiarity with data management and statistical programs (e.g. R or SAS). To apply, please send a cover letter, a CV, and 3 names of potential references to Patrick.Callahan at ucsf.edu -- Valentina Borghesani postdoctoral scholar http://valentina.borghesani.org/ University of California, San Francisco 675 Nelson Rising Lane, Suite 190 | San Francisco, CA 94158 Language Neurobiology Lab http://albalab.ucsf.edu/ Memory and Aging Center http://memory.ucsf.edu/ Due to my own family/work balance, you may get emails from me outside of normal working hours.

Normally this is transparent change however this time we are consolidating our database server to a machine located in Burnside. This means it will be necessary to disable all the core applications while the transition is taking place. This is being scheduled for Monday Oct 7th. While the apps are being migrated the core application will point to an undergoing maintenance message. Due to the different groups of people involved it's necessary to do this update during working hours. Your applications will be down starting around 8am until 1pm. When they come back online your links will also be changed. A redirect will be in place to your new urls so your end users will not notice a change. If you have any bookmarks or have publish the links on your website you should plan to update them. You will have sometime to do this, in early 2020 all current versions of web browsers will be updated and they will no longer be bale to communicate with the older server.
