Oportunidades de becas en Estados Unidos
(Respuesta de Fernando A. Ponce a pregunta de graduados peruanos)
Existen muchas oportunidades para estudiar en los EUA.  Esto generalmente se financia con “Teaching Assistantships” y “Research Assitantships”.  Es importante tener buenos resultados en el TOEFL y los GRE.
El primer paso es aprender ingles y tomar el TOEFL.
El segundo paso es tomar el Graduate Record Examination (GRE) general y el de especialidad de fisica.
El tercero es de aplicar a universidades de su agrado.  Las hay muchas.  Generalmente hay mas plazas que aplicantes.
Esto se hace fácilmente mediante el Internet.
Recomiendo que mantenga sus opciones abiertas, es decir no comprometerse a una direccion en su carrera, y busque primero ampliar sus horizontes.
Avíseme si tiene preguntas mas concretas.
Deseándole muchos éxitos,
Fernando A. Ponce
Professor, Department of Physics

Open Position at University of Bremen, Germany: Rapid Parallel Configuration of Visual Information Processing (Bernstein Award Udo Ernst) Information processing in the brain is highly flexible and depends on various factors such as the current behavioural task, contextual information in the subjects’ environment, and internal states of the brain. This flexibility allows our brain to rapidly configure different cognitive functions as required by the actual situation, and to reallocate limited neuronal resources to the most important computational processes. Our project aims at a comprehensive understanding of the neural mechanisms and cognitive strategies supporting functional configuration and task switching.

For the planned electrophysiological studies in subproject B, we seek a highly motivated PhD student who is also interested in closely collaborating with theoreticians. Starting date is as soon as possible, and applications will be considered ***until 6th of December 2012***.

If you are interested, please send your application in English (or German) language, including your letter of motivation, CV, copies of school and university certificates (master/diploma or equivalent) to: Udo Ernst Cognium Hochschulring 18 Universität Bremen D-28359 Bremen Germany E-Mail: udo at neuro.uni-bremen.de Further information on the corresponding position and project below, see also http://www.bernstein.uni-bremen.de Goal of subproject B is to investigate neural signatures and mechanisms of parallel functional configuration in multiple visual areas with massively parallel multielectrode recordings.

The PhD student will conduct experiments on awake behaving macaque monkeys in collaboration with the group of Prof. Dr. Andreas Kreiter (http://www.brain.uni-bremen.de), and analyze the collected data. This includes familiarization and training of the monkeys, preparation of the experimental setup and recordings, implantation of the electrode arrays, and recording of the data under different visual perception tasks.

For analyzing the data, he/she should be familiar with the following methods: filtering, Wavelet-analysis, cross- and autocorrelation, standard techniques of coherence analysis (phase coherency, spectral coherence, etc.), classification with methods from machine learning, and elementary concepts from information theory. Behavioural and electrophysiological data shall be rapidly preprocessed, and made available, for the collaborators in subprojects A1 and A2. He or she should have a degree (master/diploma or equivalent) in natural sciences (e.g. Biology) with focus on experimental work (preferably Animal Physiology).

Basic knowledge in programming and in formal methods/Computational Neuroscience are required. We expect a high motivation for communicating and collaborating with the other subprojects.

 
 

Two positions open the rôle of hydrodynamic
Dear Colleagues,

We currently have two PhD positions open in our group concerning the rôle of hydrodynamic shear stress on lymphocyte migration and transmigration.
One project concerns the migratory properties of murine lymphoyctes as related to infectious disease (see the attached pdf LABEX Tcell migration PhD) and will be financed via a successful candidature to the LABEX INFORM PhD program, a new international and interdisciplinary doctoral program recently launched in association wth the Aix-Marseille University Life Sciences Graduate Program (Ecole Doctorale de Science de la Vie).  Candidates interested in the LABEX project may contact me directly, but must in all cases submit a candidature directly to the LABEX PhD program at
http://labexinform.wordpress.com/training/phd-program/ before May 10, 2013.
A second project, described in detail in a second attached file, will be financed by the Graduate Program in Physics (Ecole Doctorale de Physique) of Aix-Marseille University. Candidates interested in this project should contact the project directors Marie-Pierre Valignat(marie-pierre.valignat@inserm.fr) or Olivier Theodoly (olivier.theodoly@inserm.fr).
The Laboratoire d'Adhesion CEllulaire et Inflammation is a small, dynamic interdisciplinary group of scientist working at the interface of physics, cell biology and medicine, with a general interest in immunology. We are located on the Luminy campus in Marseille, France.
I would be very grateful if you could share this information with your students and colleagues.

The Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin invites applications for a PhD position A Starting Grant of the European Research Council (ERC) will fund the currently open position (initially 24 months).

The main objective of this ERC research program is to examine neural markers of multisensory integration and to test a new hypothesis that considers dynamic interplay of synchronized neural populations as a key to multisensory processes.

The studies within this program include EEG and other neuroimaging methods. Studies will be conducted in healthy subjects and patients with schizophrenia. Multisensory processes will be examined in a series of experiments requiring both bottom-up and top-down processing. Applicants should have a background in psychology, medicine, biology, physics, engineering, or neuroscience.

Basic experience in human EEG or MEG studies, Matlab programming skills, as well as some German language skills for interacting with patients are prerequisites for the position. An interest in neurophysiological studies including clinical populations is expected. Applicants are asked to submit their CV, a motivation letter including information about a possible starting date, 2 names of referees, and documentation of relevant qualifications (e.g., copies of diplomas and/or transcripts of grades) until November 25, 2012, electronically to: daniel.senkowski at charite.de<mailto:daniel.senkowski at charite.de> Regards, Daniel Senkowski ---------------------------------------------------------------
