Child Development - Call for Manuscripts 
For a special section on developmental social cognitive neuroscience
Child Development invites manuscripts for a special section on developmental social cognitive neuroscience to be compiled by guest editors Kevin Pelphrey (Carnegie Mellon University) and Rebecca Saxe (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

The goal of the special section is to showcase research that brings together behavioral, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging approaches to understanding the typical and atypical development of social perception and social cognition. We are seeking papers that integrate developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience approaches to social cognitive development, including gaze detection and the perception of biological motion, understanding of actions and intentions, moral reasoning, empathy, theory of mind, and reasoning about social groups. Research with adults or animals that explicitly informs our understanding of development will also be considered. In addition to empirical papers, focused review articles that highlight the significance of cognitive neuroscience approaches to the development of social cognition are also appropriate. 

We ask potential contributors to first provide a short letter of intent describing the manuscript they wish to submit to this special section. The guest editors will review letters of intent for fit with this special issue and will work to provide the broadest array of high-quality papers that address a variety of questions in developmental social cognitive neuroscience. The deadline for letters of intent is October 1, 2007. Following this initial review, potential contributors will be contacted to submit completed manuscripts for peer review by January 15, 2008. 

Initial inquiries and letters of intent regarding the special section may be sent to Kevin Pelphrey (kevin.pelphrey@duke.edu) or Rebecca Saxe (saxe@mit.edu).

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP (Postdoctoral Position)

Two fellowships lasting 3 years are available beginning around October 1, 2007.  The focus of research is on the integration of executive processes (e.g., planning, working memory, visuospatial processing) with movement in healthy adults, and their breakdown in Parkinson’s disease.  The positions offer an exciting opportunity for a multidisciplinary research experience that combines 1) measures of higher cognitive functions, 2) measures of cognitive-motor control obtained from 3D assessments of actions in virtual reality environments, 3) functional (fMRI) and structural (MRI, DTI) imaging methods, and 4) studies of pharmacotherapy effects in Parkinson’s disease.  The project involves a collaboration between Deborah Harrington (UCSD and VA San Diego) and Howard Poizner (UCSD Institute for Neural Computation).  
 
The University of California-San Diego (UCSD) provides an outstanding academic environment for cognitive neuroscience research and supports two research-devoted MRI facilities.  Clinical resources include the VA Healthcare System and the UCSD Medical Center, which are closely situated to main campus and both MRI facilities.  Possibilities also exist for studies about genetic mechanisms of cognition and computational approaches in functional imaging.

PhD? in sleep dependent memory consolidation and fMRI/MEG (Graduate Student Position)
Sleep and memory lab, Psychology / Medical Sciences, University of Liverpool

Applications are invited for a 3 year studentship at the Department of Psychology http://www.liv.ac.uk/psychology/ and the Magnetic Resonance and Image Analysis Centre (MARIARC) http://www.liv.ac.uk/mariarc/ at the University of Liverpool. The position is jointly funded by Unilever Research and the EPSRC.

THE PROJECT:
Emotional memories are preferentially consolidated during sleep.  This studentship will use neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI and MEG to examine the changes in brain activity and connectivity associated with this consolidation.  Sleep patterns will be analysed using EEG to determine the contributions of various sleep stages and characteristics to this consolidation.  Emotive stimuli will include words, pictures, and odours.  Analysis will include connectivity modelling and machine learning techniques as well as more traditional methods.

The project will be jointly supervised by Drs. Penny Lewis of the University of Liverpool http://www.liv.ac.uk/psychology/staff/plewis.html and Francis McGlone? of Unilever Research.  This is an ideal opportunity to learn about neuroimaging techniques and analysis as well as the psychology of sleep and memory.

APPLICANTS SHOULD HAVE:
* A good first degree and/or Masters degree in psychology, 
  neuroscience, computing, or a related field
* Research experience
* Knowledge of computers and programming

THE POSITION:
The starting salary is approximately £12,600 per annum, with annual increments.  The closing date is July 20th and the start date is flexible, but candidates who will be available in September 2007 or soon thereafter are preferred.  UK and EU applicants are encouraged.  We regret that applicants from other countries would not be eligible for the stipend and are therefore discouraged.
