JOBS: Aging Research Center, Karolinska Institute

A 4-year tenure track position as research scientist in neuroimaging is available at the Aging Research Center (ARC), NVS department, Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden (www.ki-su-arc.se).

ARC is a multidisciplinary academic environment, representing psychology, sociology, and various branches of medicine (e.g., neurology, epidemiology, psychiatry, geriatrics). A large part of our empirical activities is based on population-based longitudinal studies. In an ongoing study (Swedish National Study on Aging and Care-Kungsholmen or SNACK), a large population of 60+ old individualsis is followed att regular time intervals. The protocol includes extensive assessment of social, medical, biological, and genetic factors as well as a comprehensive cognitive battery. A subsample (n = 552) undergoes structural magnetic resonance imaging at each measurement occasion, including diffusion tensor imaging. A key project examines how vascular risk factors (e.g., atherosclerosis, hypoperfusion) are related to white-matter alterations and subsequent deleterious outcomes (e.g., cognitive decline, dementia). For further information, see www.aldrecentrum.se/snack/

Major tasks for the research scientist will be to manage, analyze, and publish data from the brain-imaging part of SNACK. The person will be working in the interface between epidemiological and clinical research, with the major aim to detect early brain alterations and to relate these to previous vascular conditions and cognitive performance. The incumbent is expected to be an independent researcher, to have extensive hands-on experience in using and interpreting neuroimaging data as well as relevant software (i.e., SPM, FSL) and a strong conceptual background. The person will be part of the multidisciplinary team directing the SNACK project, and act as a connecting player between the neuroimaging lab and the epidemiological center.

STUDENTS: New Undergrad Summer Science Fellowships!

Please help spread the word! The following announcement is for a new summer program offered by the APA Science Directorate for undergraduate students interested in psychological research. Please forward this to students who you think may be interested! Note the March 3, 2008 application deadline. Thanks!

Announcing the Summer Science Fellowship Program

The APA Science Directorate is pleased to announce a new program for 2008 -- the Summer Science Fellowships (SSF). An offshoot of the successful Summer Science Institute, SSF aims to immerse advanced undergraduate students in the science of psychology by exposing them to the excitement and promise of the best of psychological science. Our principal objective is to inform these students about the science of psychology and its promise for the future, and help prepare them for the rigors of graduate study in psychological science.

An expenses-paid, intensive summer training program, the purpose of SSF is to allow 12 talented students to be placed in the psychology laboratories of some of the most outstanding researchers in the Washington, DC area for up to 6 weeks. The SSF program gives students an opportunity to explore the intellectual, personal, and social processes of scientific inquiry and to experience cutting-edge psychological research through hands-on laboratory activities. SSF offers promising students the opportunity to equip themselves with skills essential to succeed in graduate school, and gives students who plan to pursue advanced degrees in psychological science the opportunity to be mentored by nationally-known faculty.

The program is expected to run from late June to early August. APA will pay students a summer salary, as well as cover all travel and living expenses. This should make the program financially feasible for most college students.

Eligibility is strictly limited to rising college seniors. Applicants should be psychology majors, although students with related preparation may apply if they expect to enter a psychological science graduate program.

Students from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.

The application deadline for this program is Monday, March 3rd, 2008. Visit www.apa.org/science/ssf.html for complete details about the program and online application.

Dear Friend,

As you know, one major aspect of today's society is the significant increase in longevity and the progressive ageing of the population in all countries. By 2025, the over-60's population will have increased by 66% in Europe, and will constitute about 30% of the population. There will be a particular increase in the over-75's and over-85's, amounting to around 15% and 2.5%, respectively, of the total.

At the same time, the demand for self-sufficiency is increasing among senior citizens who, although their functions are in a way disabled "by exhaustion", choose to continue living in their own homes or in any case want to have a greater degree of independence. As a result, there will be an increase in the demand for social involvement, mobility, productivity, use of free time, personal care and attention, which the social and territorial infrastructures will have to make the necessary adjustments for. Society has a stake in finding ways to improve quality of life, to reduce healthcare costs, and to extend the independence of older people.

Technology can provide important solutions to these issues and many groups are now working in this direction. Multiple nations are launching or are already executing initiatives to better understand how technology may be used to support an aging society as well as form the basis of new markets for export. Countless universities around the world are developing robust research agendas to develop technology to respond to the needs of older adults as well as their caregivers. Likewise, many small businesses – as well as global giants – such as Intel, Microsoft, Matsushita, and General Electric are investing in new products and services to meet the demands of a grayer marketplace.

Gerontechnology - term born in Europe just prior to the 1990's as a composite of a two words: "gerontology", the scientific study of aging, and "technology" - is concerned with research on the biological, psychological, social, and medical aspects of ageing exploiting the potentials offered by the progress of technology. The number of research centres and private companies working in this field strongly increasing worldwide.

The 6th Conference of the International Society for Gerontechnology - ISG08 - will be gathering gerontechnology specialists from around the world in Italy in 2008. The conference is staged about once every three years, and it is now back in Europe after nine years. More details about ISG08 can be found at the conference site: http://www.isg08.org .

This time, the conference will be host in Pisa placed in Tuscany, an Italian region sensitive to issues related to increasing aging of population. Tuscany is a very attractive region for many European senior citizens to retire, due to a unique mix of cultural heritage and quality of life with an extraordinary wealth of artistic and cultural heritage, deep attention to preserving the environment and social relations, excellent climate, good food and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

ISG08 is intended to be a forum where all the people involved in activities on gerontechnology (robotics researchers, architects, biomedical engineers, neuroscientists, biologists, experts in political science and economics, and scientists from many other communities) will meet and interact, present results and discuss about current and future research lines and about the tools usable to move innovative technologies and services into seniors lives to expand market opportunities.

The conference theme is SMART TECHNOLOGY FOR ACTIVE LONGEVITY. The programme of ISG08 will include not only the papers, but many other events of high impact: five plenary lectures delivered by worldwide renowned leaders, many workshops and tutorials on a range of emerging and important technical and non technical topics, students events, exhibitions, practical demos, and many others.

Undoubtedly, this is the right target, the right place and the right moment for you to promote your research activities and products from highly qualified scientific theatre towards the global market, to present their scientific products to this community, to learn about most recent advancements in gerontechnologies.

I look forward to seeing you at ISG08!
