One fMRI MVPA Post-Doc (very competitive salary) 5 year position available under an ERC Starting Grant on the organization of object knowledge

The Proaction Laboratory (Perception and Recognition of Objects and Actions;http://gaius.fpce.uc.pt/pessoais/jorgealmeida/proaction_home.html; Jorge Almeida’s Lab) at the University of Coimbra (www.uc.pt), Portugal is looking for a motivated and bright Post-doctoral researcher to work on an ERC Starting Grant project (ContentMAP) on the neural organization of object knowledge. In this project we will explore how complex information is topographically organized in the brain using fMRI and state of the art analytical techniques, as well as computational approaches, and neuromodulation.

Excellent understanding of and experience with fMRI and data analysis is required. Strong programming skills (matlab, python, etc.) are also a requirement. Experience with data analysis techniques using MVPA and other multivariate approaches (e.g., Representation Similarity Analysis). Very good English (oral and written) communicative skills are necessary.

The position is for a maximum of 5 years, and will start in February 2019. The position involves no formal teaching (unless the candidate wants to). It does involve, however, lab mentoring.

The salary is extremely competitive – between 2200 and 2400 euros per month (dependent on experience), tax free (annual 26400-28800 euros tax free). This value is on par with the average salaries at top American institutions, as well as London, Paris, etc. However, the cost of living in Portugal (and particularly in Coimbra) is much lower. According to Numbeo, 2400 euros would be equivalent to 4850 pounds in London/4800 euros in Paris/6615 USD in Boston/6210 USD in Los Angeles/ 8330 USD in New York).

The researcher will work directly with Jorge Almeida in Coimbra, but the laboratory has extensive collaborations with researchers throughout the world. In fact, there may be the option of spending some time in another lab as part of the position. The researcher will also be encouraged to develop her/his own projects and look for additional funding so that the stay can be extended.

We have access to a 3T MRI scanner with a 32-channel coil (with EEG inside the scanner), to tDCS with neuronavigation, and to a fully set psychophysics lab. We have EEG and eyetracking on site. We also have access, through other collaborations, to a 7T scanner. Finally, the University of Coimbra is a 700 year old University and has been selected as a UNESCO world Heritage site. Coimbra is one of the most lively university cities in the world, and it is a beautiful city with easy access to the beach and mountain.

The deadline for the application is NOVEMBER 20, but you should apply as soon as you can, as we may fill in the positions sooner than the deadline if there are candidates with a superb fit with the requirements and project. The interested candidates should email Jorge Almeida for questions and applications. Please send an email with the subject “Post-doc position underERC - ContentMAP” with yourcurriculum vitae, list of publications, 2 reference letters, and a short description of your experience in the field and how you fulfill the requirements (fit with the position) to:jorgealmeida@fpce.uc.pt.

Dear colleagues,

I am looking for a PhD student staring at Boston University in Fall 2019.

I currently have two projects:

In the first project we will determine whether the Mississippi delta is able to survive sea level rise. We will use the model Delft3D coupled to new remote sensing data collected by NASA. A large scale campaign organized by several universities will provide field data to inform the model. https://www.bu.edu/earth/2018/09/26/sergio-fagherazzi-and-cedric-fichot-join-the-newly-funded-nasa-delta-x-team-to-study-the-future-of-the-mississippi-delta/

The second project explores the conversion of coastal forests to salt marsh triggered by sea level rise. Together with a group of ecologists from different universities, we will carry out a large scale experiment by cutting pine trees near the marsh boundary at the Virginia Coast Reserve LTER ( https://www.vcrlter.virginia.edu/home2/ ). The goal is to determine whether removal of trees will trigger an ecological shift to salt marsh vegetation. Our group is in charge of the hydrological component: we will install a suite of instruments to measure groundwater level and salinity, soil moisture, precipitation, light availability, etc., for 5-10 years.

The PhD is fully funded for five years; the deadline for the application is December 19 2018. More information about the PhD program at Boston University can be found here https://www.bu.edu/earth/education/graduate/

Postdoctoral fellowship (2 years) in Marine Ecology: Carbon cycling in Arctic benthos

A two-year postdoc fellowship in Marin Ecology: Carbon cycling in Arctic benthos is available at the Faculty of Biosciences and Aquaculture, Nord University (Bodø, Norway) from March 1th, 2019.

FBA invites applications from outstanding candidates for a two-year Post-doctoral position within a research project on carbon cycling in Arctic benthic ecosystems. The position is affiliated with the Research Group Ecology and the successful candidate will join the Benthos Ecology research unit.

A significant portion of the position involves studying carbon cycling pathways in Arctic marine benthic communities in conjunction with the Nansen Legacy project. The candidate will design and conduct benthic-process experiments during a series of research cruises in 2019-2020 in collaboration with Akvaplan-Niva and other project partners. The postdoc is supposed to contribute to the planning and design of the field studies.

The post-doc project aims to improve the knowledge of carbon and nutrient cycling through the food web of arctic communities in the northern Barents Sea and adjacent slope, which is the study area of this project. Here, climate change effects were observed and predicted to occur rapidly, while the biological consequences are poorly understood. In collaboration with the Nansen legacy project we will focus on how climate change might affect the seasonal cycles and in consequence the linked biological processes in the northern Barents Sea.

The candidate is expected to work independently in an international and interdisciplinary project team and will supervise master and PhD students.
