Subject: PostDoc/PhD studentship on "Comprehensive Model of the Auditory System" in Oldenburg, Germany From: Sarah Verhulst <sarah.verhulst@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 20:25:33 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_0EEC1ED8971952469B40E21167D6FB25E6B848mbx05w2krootuniol_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The cluster of excellence Hearing4all (www.hearing4all.de<http://www.hearin= g4all.de>): Models, Technology and Solutions for Diagnostics, Restoration and Support o= f Hearing at the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg, Germany (in collaboration w= ith Medizinische Hochschule Hannover and Leibniz Universit=E4t Hannover) is= seeking to fill the position of a Postdoctoral Research Associate / PhD Student who will contribute to one of the main research goals of the cluster, the d= evelopment of a Comprehensive model of the auditory system. The candidate will be a member of a large and active group of modelers, wor= king towards the understanding of the auditory system with a broad spectrum= of biophysical, effective and statistical models. Tasks of the candidate w= ill be to * Combine existing effective and physiological models of the auditory s= ystem with the goals to compare their performances and to improve their pre= dictive power for electrophysiological and psychophysical data of both anim= al and human studies * Manage and maintain the Hearing4all database containing information a= bout the models and data sets present in the cluster * Play an integrative role by interacting closely with modelers (from c= omputational neuroscience, medical physics, signal processing) as well as w= ith experimenters (performing electrophysiological and psychophysics experi= ments in animals and/or humans) and clinicians These tasks require a sound analytical background and substantial modeling = and programming experience, as well as excellent communication skills (in E= nglish, preferably also basic knowledge of German). The position offers the= opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree (PhD student position, TV-L E13, 5= 0%). If the candidate already holds a PhD in one of the related fields, the= position can be upgraded to Postdoctoral researcher (TV-L E13, full time).= Candidates are expected to have an academic university degree (MSc or equi= valent) in the field of computer science, computational neuroscience, bioen= gineering, physics or a related discipline and knowledge in the fields of n= euroscience or hearing research. Postdoctoral applicants are expected to pr= ovide a good publication record. The position is initially available for tw= o years. The University of Oldenburg strives to increase the percentage of women in = science. Therefore, equally qualified female candidates will be given prefe= rence. Applicants with disabilities will be preferentially considered in case of e= qual qualification. Please send your application including a cover letter, CV, list of potentia= l referees, links to recent publications, and copies of certificates for ac= ademic grades to the head office of the cluster of excellence, c/o Karin Kl= ink, Medical Physics Section, University of Oldenburg, D-26122 Oldenburg, G= ermany; preferably via e-mail with electronic copies of the documents to ka= rin.klink@xxxxxxxx<mailto:karin.klink@xxxxxxxx>. Prof. Jutta Kretzberg (jutta.kretzberg@xxxxxxxx<mailto:jutta.kretzb= erg@xxxxxxxx>) and Prof. Sarah Verhulst (sarah.verhulst@xxxxxxxx= rg.de<mailto:sarah.verhulst@xxxxxxxx>) can be contacted for further= questions regarding the position. Interviewing of candidates will start on= 10 December 2013 and will continue until the position is filled. ------------------------------------------------- Sarah Verhulst Assistant Professor (Juniorprofessorin) Dept. of Medical Physics and Acoustics Carl von Ossietzky University Carl von Ossietzky Stra=DFe 9-11 26129 Oldenburg, GE Tel. +49 441 798 3361 --_000_0EEC1ED8971952469B40E21167D6FB25E6B848mbx05w2krootuniol_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html dir=3D"ltr"> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-= 1"> <style type=3D"text/css" id=3D"owaParaStyle"></style><style type=3D"text/cs= s"></style><style type=3D"text/css"></style> </head> <body fpstyle=3D"1" ocsi=3D"0"> <div style=3D"direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: = 10pt;"> <div style=3D"font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-s= ize: medium; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin-top: 14pt; margin= -right: -14.5pt; margin-bottom: 14pt; "> The cluster of excellence Hear= ing4all (<= /span><a href=3D"http://www.hearing4all.de" target=3D"_blank">www.hearing4all.de</a><fo= nt face=3D"Arial">)= : <span= lang=3D"en-GB"> Models, Tech= nology and Solutions for Diagnostics, Restoration and Support of Hearing</b= > </spa= n> at the </s= pan>Carl von Ossietzky Uni= versity Oldenburg, Germany (in collaboration with Medizinische Hochschule H= annover and Leibniz Universit=E4t Hannover) is seeking to fill the position of a</div> <div align=3D"center" style=3D"font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, s= ans-serif; font-size: medium; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-al= ign: center; margin-top: 14pt; margin-bottom: 14pt; "> Postdoctoral Research Associate / PhD Student</d= iv> <div align=3D"justify" style=3D"font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, = sans-serif; font-size: medium; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin= -top: 14pt; margin-bottom: 14pt; "> who will contribute to </spa= n>one of the main research= goals of the cluster, the development of a</div> <div align=3D"center" style=3D"font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, s= ans-serif; font-size: medium; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-al= ign: center; margin-top: 14pt; margin-bottom: 14pt; "> Comprehensive model of the auditory system.</div= > <div align=3D"justify" style=3D"font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, = sans-serif; font-size: medium; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin= -top: 14pt; margin-bottom: 0px; "> The candidate will be a member of= a large and active group of modelers, working towards the understanding of= the auditory system with a broad spectrum of biophysical, effective and st= atistical models.
