POST-DOCTORAL POSITION: COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE OF MUSIC



Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position in the Computational Neuroimaging Laboratory at New York University under the supervision of Dr. David Heeger (Psychology and Center for Neural Science), Dr. Morwaread Farbood (Music and Audio Research Laboratory), and Dr. Gary Marcus (Psychology). The lab's research focuses on the use of fMRI to quantitatively investigate the relationship between brain and behavior. The goal of the project is to study the neural correlates of musical structure.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in neuroscience, psychology, or other relevant disciplines. Important criteria include good oral and written communication skills, computing skills, a working knowledge of Matlab, and competence in statistics. The ideal candidate would also have some musical background, particularly a working knowledge of music theory.

Please send a CV, brief statement of research experience and interests, and contact information of three references via email to Dr. Morwaread Farbood, mfarbood@xxxxxxxx
