PhD student position available in Neuroimmunology (Regensburg) - reg

In a joint project at the University of Regensburg (Thomas Langmann, PhD), the Charité in Berlin (Klaus Rüther, MD) and the King´s College in London (Jon Cooper, PhD) financed by the National Contest for Life (NCL)-Foundation, a PhD Position is immediately available at the Institute of Human Genetics in Regensburg under the supervision of Thomas Langmann.

The aim of the project is to characterize the contribution of early neuroimmune responses in the development of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) within the retina by studying microglial activity.

Impaired vision is the leading symptom and a long-term problem in juvenile NCL. Therefore, targeted immune-related therapies blocking retinal microglia activation and possibly retinal degeneration could be helpful to preserve vision in JNCL patients.

PhD position in Imaging Genetics of Intelligence, The Netherlands

This is the notification of PhD position in Imaging Genetics of
Intelligence, The Netherlands

Application Deadline: 5 September 2009 , Understanding how genetic
variation affects brain functioning related to general intelligence is
one of the greatest scientific challenges of the 21st century.

Advances in both molecular genetics and functional and structural
neuroimaging have provided the tools necessary to explore the effects
of genetic variants on brain functioning. Identifying the brain
mechanisms that underlie intelligence is paramount to our
understanding of how individual differences in general intelligence
emerge and how such differences may confer vulnerability to cognitive
dysfunction. This project aims to identify these brain mechanisms by
combining expertise from two excellent research groups, using an
imaging genetics approach towards human intelligence.

This project is a collaboration between the Donders Institute for
Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Nijmegen, and the Centre for
Neurogenomics and Cognitive Research, Amsterdam. You will be based
within the Cognitive Neurology group at the Donders Institute and will
have frequent contacts with the genomics group at CNCR .

Requirements
You have a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in a field related to
cognitive neuroscience (e.g. experimental/cognitive psychology,
biology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence). Excellent candidates
from other scientific backgrounds will also be considered. Good
programming skills (Matlab) are highly desirable. Familiarity with
neuroimaging techniques (functional and structural) and in genetic
statistics are certainly an asset. Proficiency in oral and written
English as well as good social skills are also required.

Organization
The Centre for Neurogenomics and Cognitive Research (CNCR) was founded
jointly by the VU University Amsterdam and the VU University Medical
Centre.
At the centre, neurobiologists, clinical and preclinical
neuroscientists and psychologists collaborate to contribute to the
development of a new integrative neuroscience, rooted in molecular
biology and genetics and extending all the way to behaviour and
cognition in health and disease.

The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour comprises the
Centres for Cognition, Cognitive Neuroimaging and Neuroscience. The
mission of the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging is to conduct
cutting-edge research in cognitive neuroscience. Much of the rapid
progress in this field is driven by novel neuroimaging techniques
scanning the activity and structure of the human brain in vivo – a
field of research in which the Centre plays a leading role. The
research themes cover central cognitive functions such as perception,
action, attention, cognitive control, memory, and language. The
internationally renowned centre currently employs more than 100 PhD
students and post-doctoral researchers of more than 20 nationalities.
The centre is equipped with three MRI scanners (7T, 3T, 1.5T), a 275
channels MEG system, an EEG-TMS laboratory, several (MR-compatible)
EEG systems, and high-performance computational facilities. English is
the lingua franca at the centre.

Website: http://www.ru.nl/donders

Conditions of employment
Employment: 1,0 fte
Maximum salary, based on a fulltime employment: € 2,612 gross/month
The gross salary will be between €2,042/month and €2,612 plus two
yearly 8% bonuses (holiday and end-of-year).

Mining - SAS? Data Mining Conference Empowers Professionals

The largest data mining conference of its kind, M2009 takes place Oct. 26-27 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The conference and exhibition is now in its 12th year. Pre-conference activities on Oct. 25 include an introductory course, customized data mining workshops with SAS experts, and the SAS® Certification Predictive Modeling Exam. Several post-conference classes Oct. 28-30 provide a range of professional growth opportunities. This is the venue for exchanging ideas with data mining practitioners and with the world?s most respected data mining experts as speakers. Attendees who register for M2009 by Sept. 18 receive a $200 discount as well as a free data mining book as a registration giveaway. 
Organizations accumulate huge volumes of data. Data mining uncovers previously unknown trends and patterns in that data to support decision making. Text mining applies the same analysis techniques to text-based documents. Expertise in predictive analytics can advance careers. ?Data mining is becoming more and more accessible to business users,? said William McKnight, a data management expert with US Analytics. ?The barrier to entry is lowering and the job is becoming more consultative with the business. It?s a wise career move to master the data mining techniques offered through conferences and training such as at M2009.? 
Maximizing data mining benefits 
Co-chairs Jerry Oglesby, SAS Director of Global Academic Programs and Certification, and Dirk Van den Poel of Ghent University highlight the latest research and methodology through case studies and advice on maximizing data mining benefits. By upgrading analytics skills and better understanding the latest analytics trends, practitioners can improve decision making within their own organizations. 
?Critical during a struggling economy, data mining solutions offer incredible opportunities for companies to improve their bottom line,? said data mining expert and author Olivia Parr-Rud of OLIVIAGroup. ?Hiring talented analysts is key to successful predictive analytics implementations. However, increased complexity and the constant introduction of new technologies as well as shifting markets and consumer demands require us to master a broader set of skills. M2009 will give analysts important new theoretical and technical insights as well as practical implementation tips.? 
To balance theory and practice, the conference offers six keynotes and more than 35 sessions in tracks including financial services, healthcare, emerging technologies, text mining and marketing research. Demo theater presentations, poster presentations and exhibits highlight innovative work in data mining. 
Annual Data Mining Shootout 
The Central Michigan University Research Corporation and Dow Chemical again team with SAS to offer the academic community an opportunity to test their data mining skills. The third annual Data Mining Shootout lets student and faculty teams distinguish themselves by solving a real-world data mining problem.
