POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AT THE MEG UNIT IN BRUXELLES Whether brain plasticity and memory consolidation evolves in child development and change with ageing, whether they are impaired in pathophysiological conditions and what are the neural, molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying these processes are open issues that need nowadays to be addressed. Applications are invited for a _post-doc MEG data analysis/methodology/signal processing position _in the framework of the ARC project "Pathophysiology of brain plasticity processes in memory consolidation". The project will be conducted at the LCFC (Laboratoire de Cartographie Fonctionnelle Cérébrale - Functional Brain Mapping Laboratory; directors Patrick Van Bogaert and Serge Goldman) in the MEG unit of the Erasme Hospital of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, in collaboration with the UR2NF (Neuropsychology and Functional Neuroimaging Research Unit, http://dev.ulb.ac.be/ur2nf/, director Philippe Peigneux). The MEG unit is equipped with a state-of-the-art Elekta Neuromag system, physiological and cognitive stimulation and response systems, eye-tracking and EEG. Candidates are expected to be involved in studies related to the theme of the project, i.e. mainly memory consolidation processes across normal and pathological development, and their relation to sleep, to participate in the development and/or the implementation of novel, dedicated analysis techniques of MEG data, to provide support to the analysis of ongoing MEG projects and to pass knowledge and expertise in the context of a young multidisciplinary team. Candidates should have a PhD in MEG/EEG data analysis/methodology/signal processing (or a PhD with equivalent expertise in any relevant domain) and be familiar with data analysis in MEG, preferentially using SPM approaches. Good level of MATLAB programming is expected. Salary will be commensurate with experience within the salary scale of the Belgian public research system (from 2100 euros net income per month). Candidates should consider the position for at least two years, starting in 2010 or beginning 2011. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
