INCF community blog
The INCF community blog is where we collect news, success stories, information about the INCF Assembly, our workshops, and community activities. Community members are encouraged to submit relevant job openings, write guest posts, review and recap events, and suggest content that they would like to see featured on the blog.
Do you have a success story related to neuroinformatics, standardization, or FAIR and open neuroscience? Are you hiring for a job related to neuroinformatics? Did you attend one of our events and want to do a write-up? Let us know in this form!
As part of an externally funded project with members of the Cogitate Consortium, Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics is seeking to hire a Data Scientist or Scientific Software Engineer, ideally one with a background in research data management (RDM), FAIR data, and database administration.
Short-Course: Longitudinal Data Tensor-Linear Modeling and Space-kime Analytics. This short course will cover the current state-of-the-art approaches for tensor-based linear modeling and space-kime analytics. Instructors will present a generalized framework for modeling and prediction of scalar, matrix, or tensor outcomes from observed tensor inputs.
A recent perspective article in Neuroinformatics calls for increased international collaboration on standardization of neuroscience data.
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is recruiting for a Staff Scientist/Team Leader position to direct the Scientific and Statistical Computing Core/AFNI Team. The primary function of this group is to support multimodal neuroimaging research in the intramural research program (IRP) at NIH.

Do you have a great workshop idea? Let us know! We are inviting all members of the INCF community to submit proposals for workshop themes to be included in the virtual 2022 INCF Assembly this autumn. We encourage submissions that focus on FAIR data management approaches, tools, and infrastructure applicable to the neuroscience data lifecycle.
On January 26, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) launched the Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI), to enable better access to and discovery of NIH-funded data among generalist repositories.
This week, INCF is applying to participate in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) for the 12th time running. GSoC is a long-running program where contributors new to open source work with mentors on coding projects supported by a stipend from Google.
CCN invites applications for paid summer internships by graduate or advanced undergraduate students in physics, electrical engineering, machine learning, computer science or related fields.
INCF has been an active member of the IBI for several years, and Maryann Martone, chair of the INCF Governing Board, is also the co-chair of the IBI Data Standards and Sharing Working Group. In December 2021 the working group’s task force on International Data Governance published a paper describing issues and possible solutions for brain data governance.
