The NAMASEN ITN Network offers a unique research environment where leading academics will integrate accepted applicants into their research teams, providing a top-notch structured training programme in Neuroelectronics, Neuroengineering, and Nanotechnologies. Academic partners within the NAMASEN ITN Network will support the Early Stage Researchers to work successfully towards a PhD defense. More information on the NAMASEN ITN Network and its job openings can be found at: http://www.namasen.net Salary and Benefits for the Positions The Researchers will be appointed on a full-time temporary contacts, for a period of three years (ESRs) or two years (ERs), including a two-to-six-month secondments at different NAMASEN partner. The Researcher will be a Marie Curie fellow and will profit from all Marie Curie benefits, including living, mobility, travel, and career exploratory allowances according to the Marie Curie Framework 7 requirements (http:// ec.europa.eu/mariecurieactions). Eligibility Candidates for ESR positions must be, at the time of recruitment, in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers and not yet have been awarded a doctoral degree. This is measured from the date when they obtained the degree, which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the research training is provided. In practice, this means they should not have obtained any degree before 31st December 2007 that would entitle them to enroll for a doctorate. In general, this is usually a suitably qualifying Masters degree. Candidates for ER positions must not have worked in a research position / received research training for more than 5 years of their undergraduate degree. The undergraduate degree is the first degree, which allowed them to embark on a PhD program, typically a BA or BSc. Years since the undergraduate degree working outside research do not count. Candidates are normally required to undertake trans-national mobility (i.e. move from one country to another) when taking up their appointment. At the time of recruitment by the host organization, candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of their host organization (i.e. depending on the NAMASEN network partner to apply for) for more than 12 months between 1 November 2008 and 31 December 2011. Applicants for the position at NAMASEN may be a national of any Member State of the European Union, of any Associated Country or of any other third country, but they may not be a national of the hosting country. Availability to travel (including internationally), for the purpose of the research and training activities, is a requirement for the positions.

We are currently seeking a biocurator to work on the Virtual Fly Brain project, a collaboration between the labs of Cahir O'Kane (Cambridge) and J. Douglas Armstrong (Edinburgh), which has developed a rigorously curated data-model (ontology) of Drosophila neuroanatomy in a form that can be easily queried and integrated with related genetic and physiological data. This ontology is used extensively by FlyBase to annotate genetic data and is the engine for queries for neurons, expression and phenotypes on the Virtual Fly Brain web site.

Based in the FlyBase Cambridge office, the successful applicant will:

work as part of a small team to refine our ontological model of the Drosophila brain based on the literature and consultation with experts
work as part of the FlyBase curation team to curate expression data from the neurobiology literature into FlyBase
contribute to design of Virtual Fly Brain

Additional information: You should have a background in Drosophila genetics and/or neurobiology at post-doctoral level. Computing skills are not essential, although some familiarity with programming languages (unix, perl, java) and databases (SQL) would be useful. Previous experience with ontologies would also be useful, but again is not essential. The work will provide opportunities to learn or improve skills in these areas.

PhD: Automated reconstruction of neural circuits

Albert Cardona — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 11:09:56 +0200

The imaging of complete neural circuits with synaptic resolution is now within reach with automated electron microscopy (EM). The reconstruction of every neuronal arbor and every synapse on every arbor would let us understand the neuroanatomical basis of brain function.

But manually reconstructing every neuron from serial EM is an extremely laborious task: even for a small animal with only 10,000 neurons, the predicted time is about 45 years. Automated techniques must be developed. Over the past 5 years a wealth of machine learning techniques for image segmentation have set the stage for what might be possible.

Our lab has manually reconstructed hundreds of neurons and we are ready to host a PhD project where algorithms are trained from human-generated ground truth for automated reconstruction of thousands of neurons.

You will develop new algorithms that learn the rules of neuronal morphology from human-reconstructed neurons, and apply them for the automated reconstruction of complete neural circuits. You will then analyze these circuits to understand how sensory input converges into higher-order processing centers and intervenes in the generation of motor patterns.

Other parallel projects ongoing in the lab are analyzing the function of neurons that have already been reconstructed, using genetically targeted neuronal activators and inhibitors.

Research Fellow on Imaging Neurodegeneration

INCF-Site Administration — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 11:41:04 +0200

One project is to study the structural and functional connectivity in models of axonal degeneration using techniques such as DTI, magnetization transfer, resting-state fMRI, etc. The other project is to develop functional imaging, including BOLD/CBV fMRI, perfusion, manganese enhanced MRI, CEST and PET, to understand how metabolic disorders such as diabetes exacerbate neurodegenerative diseases like dementia. We have very active interdisciplinary research teams consisting of people from engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, and neuroscience backgrounds. We also have extensive collaboration with major pharmaceutical companies to develop new methods for evaluating drug effects in the brain.

The successful candidate will have chance to work at the Clinical Imaging Research Center to translate the methods into clinical applications. The center currently hosts a Siemens 3T TIM Trio system and is expanding to include more imaging modalities and higher field MRI.

Facility and Equipment:

The lab currently hosts a Varian 9.4T MRI, a Bruker 7T ClinScan MRI, a Bruker 400MHz NMR, a NanoSPECT/CT, a Siemens microPET/CT, and a hyperpolarizer (Hypersense).
