[FieldTrip] Three ERC-Funded Research Associate Post-doctoral Positions

[STEPHAN MORATTI]

Please find below the description of three ERC funded Post-doc positions
from my colleague Bryan Strange at the Laboratory of Clinical Neurosicence
in Madrid Spain:

Still a few days left to get your applications in!

We are looking for highly motivated post-doctoral research associates to
work in the Laboratory for Clinical Neuroscience at the Centre for
Biomedical Technology, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid.

Job description: You will work on the European Research Council (ERC)
Consolidator project awarded to Bryan Strange, director of the
Laboratory for Clinical Neuroscience. This 5-year project is described
here (http://www.thestrangelab.org/erc-cog-rememberex/). The successful
applicants will form part of a multi-disciplinary team comprising
neurosurgeons, neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists and biomedical
engineers.

Type of contract: Full-time. The initial contract will be made for 1
year (with an initial 6 month trial period) and is renewable for up to 5
years.

Salary: 44,125 euros bruto per year

Start date: Summer 2019 (with some flexibility)

Required for the 3 positions:

     A PhD in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, statistics,
neurology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, or related field.
     Fluent in English (written and spoken); Spanish is not required
     Scripting languages (e.g. Matlab, Python, R)
     Strong publication record

Desired for the 3 positions:

     Knowledge of the basic and clinical neuroscience of learning,
memory, emotion and responses to novelty
     Demonstrated ability to secure research funding
     Enthusiasm for communicating scientific advances

Specific requirements for each position:

Position 1. The successful candidate will be highly competent in the
acquisition and analysis of intracranial electrophysiological local
field potential recordings. We primarily use the Fieldtrip toolbox for
human intracranial analyses, so experience with Fieldtrip (or SPM12) is
desirable. Knowledge of measures of between-region connectivity is
essential. A dataset of >30 patients with intracranial recordings during
various memory tasks is already available. Additional recordings are
on-going in Madrid and Zurich. The successful candidate will work on
hippocampal responses to various types of salience, with an emphasis on
hippocampal-cortical and hippocampal-amygdala coupling.

Position 2. The successful candidate will be expert in the acquisition
and analysis of magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings (the lab
currently uses Fieldtrip and Brainstorm packages, primarily). Expertise
in design and optimisation of cognitive tasks during MEG recordings is
required. The successful candidate will lead the simultaneous
acquisition of MEG and nucleus accumbens deep brain stimulation (DBS) in
psychiatric patients using flexible head cast technology. Experience
with EEG recordings is also desirable, as some DBS patients are also
recorded from using a high density EEG system in the Hospital setting.

Position 3. The successful candidate will be expert in the acquisition
and analysis of structural and functional MRI data using SPM, FSL,
Freesurfer and/or Ants. Expertise in design and optimisation of
cognitive tasks during fMRI recordings is required. The successful
candidate will lead the functional MRI scanning of innovative tasks
testing hypotheses generated from intracranial recordings. This research
associate will also devise measurements of structural connectivity
associated with memory effects observed in patients undergoing deep
brain stimulation.

General responsibilities applicable to all Research Associate positions:

     Help mentor graduate students in the lab
     Attend weekly lab meetings
     Coordinate your data acquisition between the lab and different
Hospitals, both within Spain and abroad (UK and Switzerland). A project
manager will assist you.
     Present research findings at international conferences. Each
position comes with a travel budget of 2000 euros per year for e.g. 2
European or 1 Intercontinental trip per year.

Application

Send CV, motivation letter, and contact details of three academic
referees to RememberEx at ctb.upm.es for the attention of Prof. Bryan
Strange

Deadline: 31 May 2019
