Subject: Job Announcement: Post-doctoral position with a focus on signal processing / statistical learning for analysis of speech coding in the human brain From: Inga M Schepers <inga.maren.schepers@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 09:32:37 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_29BB63AB68C4EA449E23D9164DEFA879717C93mbx01w2krootuniol_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear list, I would like to announce an open position in our lab: Applied Neurocognitive Psychology Post-doctoral position (salary level E13 TVL, 3 years) With a focus on signal processing / statistical learning for analysis of sp= eech coding in the human brain. The position is linked to the collaborative research center "The Active Aud= itory System" SFB-TR 31. The research center aims to characterize and model mechanism of auditory ob= ject formation and scene analysis by combining psychophysical, neurophysiological, and quantitative = modelling. It complements the Excellence Cluster "Hearing 4 All" which was recently award= ed to the University of Oldenburg. The combined effort of these centers will establish a strong lin= k between neurophysiological models of auditory object representation and subjective = perception. The post-doctoral position is situated in a project that applies statistica= l learning methods to human intracranial recordings (ECoG) and fMRI to derive and test quantitative sta= tistical models of speech coding in the human brain. The experiments are performed in a highly interd= isciplinary lab environment and in close collaboration with the University of California Be= rkeley and Stanford University. The quantitative nature of the research project will require highly motivat= ed candidates with strong quantitative and experimental skills. Successful candidates will perform cu= tting edge research and should have a background in one or more of the following fields: signal pro= cessing, statistical learning, brain-machine-interfacing, non-invasive or invasive human neuroph= ysiology of the auditory system. Applicants must have an academic university degree (Master or equiv= alent) and a PhD (or equivalent). Successful candidates will work in an interdisciplinary network with opport= unities for international exchange. The post-doctoral position is initially limited to three years, with an opt= ion for extension, and can be split. Applications should include your CV, a list of most recent publications, tw= o recommendation letters, and a research statement (max. 3 pages). The University of Oldenburg is ded= icated to increasing the percentage of women in science. Therefore, equally qualified female candida= tes will be given preference. Applicants with disabilities will be preferentially considered = in case of equal qualification.
