Neurophysics: 8 PhD positions and 2 Post-doc positions in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany or Belgium in the field of Neuroimaging.

FMRI is a fast developing technique that permits addressing core questions in cognitive neuroscience in the human brain. The future of this technique resides in pushing hardware to permit ultra-high field scanning at superior spatial resolution, developing advanced data analysis, and combining the technique with other approaches, including EEG, TMS, PET, as well as pharmacology and molecular biology. These goals are pursued by a consortium of 4 partners consisting of Maastricht University (Brain Imaging Centre), Research Centre Juelich (MR Physics), University of Liege (Cyclotron Research Centre) and Glaxo-Smith- Kline (Clinical Imaging Centre London). Funding comes from a Marie-Curie Initial Training Network grant.

Description
To advance research goals at the consortium, we are looking for applicants who
(1) show a drive to investigate a core question in cognitive neuroscience which can be theoretical (e.g., perception, attention, memory) or more clinical in nature (e.g., dementia, neurofeedback in locked-in patients);
(2) are motivated to use and/or help engineer cutting-edge methods of data acquisition (physics) and data analysis;
(3) enjoy the (technical) challenges of working in an integrative, multidisciplinary environment. Relevant backgrounds include engineering, physics, mathematics, advanced statistics and data analysis, molecular biology, software programming, computational modelling, and cognitive neuroscience. The ideal candidate combines skills from several of these disciplines.

We offer a unique, integrative research environment where world-leading scientists will integrate accepted applicants into their research teams. A 1.5y training programme has been set up to offer additional, high-level training in all domains relevant for the research (for an overview of all offered courses:
http://www.psychology.unimaas.nl/images/pdf_files/courseoverview.pdf).

The Marie Curie – Initial Training Network `Methods in Neuroimaging` graduate school offers:
- 3 PhD positions and 1 Post-doc position in biophysics and MR physics at Research Centre Juelich (Germany)
- 3 PhD positions and 1 Post-doc position in brain imaging data acquisition and analysis (combination of methods) at Brain Imaging Centre, Maastricht University (The Netherlands)
- 2 PhD positions in the field of brain imaging data acquisition and analysis (combination of methods) at Cyclotron Research Centre, Université de Liège (Belgium)

Representative project descriptions can be found here:

The PhD will spend about 20% of his time on teaching courses to NDLA-students.

PhD position for the NWO project:
Solving Quadratic Assignment Problems with Algebraic Symmetry via Semidefinite Programming

Project description:
The quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is well known in operations research (mathematical programming) and arises from applications as diverse as electronic circuit testing and hospital facility location. It is also famously hard to solve QAP instances, even ones of moderate size. In this project we will revisit the possibility of solving QAP problems using semidefinite programming in a branch and bound setting. In particular, we will use modern techniques from algebraic combinatorics to exploit algebraic structures in the data where present.
