This competitive two-year fellowship provides salary and benefits (including health insurance) to outstanding early-career scientists. The program is designed as a collaborative investment between CCBBI and participating faculty mentors. Year 1 salary and benefits are fully supported by CCBBI. For Year 2, fellows are expected to continue under the sponsorship of a CCBBI Faculty Fellow. Priority will be given to applicants whose faculty mentors can provide matching funds for Year 2, though applicants without confirmed cost-match support will also be considered based on scientific merit, sponsor fit, and alignment with CCBBI’s mission. The fellowship supports scholars who wish to pursue independent research at CCBBI while contributing to the center’s dynamic and interdisciplinary scientific community at The Ohio State University. *Eligibility Criteria* - Doctoral degree in Psychology, Neuroscience, or a closely related field, earned within the past two years. For candidates who received their degree before this period, please contact CCBBI to discuss the specifics of your circumstances (ccbbi.service(a)osu.edu) - As the goal of this program is to recruit new talent to Ohio State, current graduate students or postdoctoral scholars already working at Ohio State are not eligible. - Sponsorship from CCBBI faculty who will serve as the primary mentor. CCBBI Faculty Affiliates are strongly encouraged to consider a CCBBI Faculty Fellow as a co-mentor. - Faculty cost-match for Year 2 is preferred but not required; priority will be given to mentors who can provide matching funds. - Evidence of superior academic achievement (such as honors or other academic designation, peer-reviewed publications, invited presentations). - Dedication to a research-focused career, with preference given to individuals aiming to pursue academic pathways. *Fellowship Details* The fellowship offers a competitive annual salary of $61,008 plus benefits, with funding available to begin before *August 1, 2026*.

Training in Advances Statistical Methods in Neuroimaging and Genetics: 2026 Session
by ROBERT CARY WELSH 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

External Email - Use Caution Hi everybody, We are pleased to announce that the application portal is still open for the NIH funded 2026 session of the course, “Training in Advanced Statistical Methods in Neuroimaging and Genetics”. This is our 6th year! The course will start on Monday, April 13th, 2026 and finish on April 24th, 2026. Our course also includes an ongoing (throughout the year) continuing education portion. Due to delays in federal funding out of our control, we will be holding the course live on-line via Zoom for 2026. The course will use US Mountain Time Zone and typical days are from 8am to 5pm MT. The course is an intensive 2-weeks, about 8 hours per day of a balanced mixture of lectures and hands-on computer labs. More information at the following link: neurostatsbootcamp.org<http://secure-web.cisco.com/1NnG0TulRhrTe7Rs0KDge4Y5-hlW8ALnIJpKZ2UCL3cQZKy…> Due to the course being held live on-line this year, the tuition is $400 (USD). Please note that the course instructors' effort is supported by the NIH grant thus avoiding that cost being passed on to the course attendees. This course is strictly not-for-profit, your tuition is used for infrastructure support to hold the course. Because of the limited size and advanced nature of the course, attendance is by application only – please make sure to fully read the website instructions. In general, applicants should be a US citizen, permanent resident, or working with an appointment at a US institution. Though we do have the ability to accommodate 3 to 6 individuals that do not meet this criteria. With being on-line this year, we are able to have a class size between 30 and 40 students. Priority application deadline is Oct 24, 2025; decisions around Dec 13th. Late application deadline is Nov 21, 2025; decisions by Jan 2nd, 2026. For more information email us at neurostats(a)g.ucla.edu<mailto:neurostats@g.ucla.edu> We hope you pass this email on to your local neuroimaging community.

PETSurfer v8.1.0 vs 7.x.x — missing pons in gtmseg.ctab and rescale issue in mri_gtmpvc
by Carme Uribe 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

External Email - Use Caution Hi all, I’m running into an issue after upgrading from FreeSurfer 7.1.2 to 8.1.0 when using PETSurfer. In v7.1.2, the gtmseg.ctab included the *pons (Id 174)*, which allowed the subsequent mri_gtmpvc step to perform the default *rescale normalization based on pons intensity*. However, in v8.1.0, the pons no longer appears in the gtmseg.ctab. Since the rescale step still expects that region by default, the pipeline fails when trying to normalize by the pons. From the release notes I see that gtmseg now uses SAMSEG by default, and I suspect that this change may have modified how subcortical or brainstem structures are handled. Also, any chance the gtmseg step could add other regions typically used as reference (e.g., wm/whole cerebellum, centrum semiovale) maintaining the aseg and aparc parcellations from FS? Thanks very much in advance for your help, Carme

Affine voxel size correction
by Steenwijk, M.D. (Martijn) 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

External Email - Use Caution Dear all, Reuter et al. (NI 2010) mention an optional "Affine voxel size correction" as a method to account for slight changes in scanner voxel sizes or geometry. Since it is described as optional, could anyone confirm whether this correction is actually implemented in the longitudinal processing stream? Thank you for your insights. Best regards, Martijn ______________________________________________________ AmsterdamUMC disclaimer : http://secure-web.cisco.com/1P67Snz8AB98mPTZkrythZH-ustg19TKhOwK7sjcvHBR4YG…
