Subject: Postdoctoral Research Fellow / Eriksholm Research Centre , Oticon A/S =?Windows-1252?Q?=96?= Physiological measures of cognitive pro cessing From: Thomas Lunner <TLU@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2014 14:42:45 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_88E8BAA88A1E0F4DBBFED034AD0D7B6B0ACEAD6CKBNMXEXC12Deman_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Postdoctoral Research Fellow / Eriksholm Research Centre, Oticon A/S =96 Ph= ysiological measures of cognitive processing The Eriksholm Research Centre, situated in Snekkersten, Denmark, is seeking= to fill a vacant position of a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Eriksholm Res= earch Centre is part of Oticon A/S, and situated in Snekkersten, Denmark. http://www.oticon.com/about/job-and-career/jobs/job-document.aspx?publishin= gid=3D891&languagekey=3Den-GB Learn more about Eriksholm Research Centre: www.eriksholm.com<http://www.er= iksholm.com> The position is supported by a grant from the Oticon Foundation. This full-= time position (37 hours/week) is available from 01.09.2014, initially for 9= months, with a possibility for extension dependent on funding being secure= d. Salary will be according to qualifications and experience. The main part= of the research work will be carried out at the Eriksholm Research Centre,= Denmark. About the position We are seeking a Post Doc researcher with a fairly recent PhD, who has a br= oad scientific competence and an interest in applied research. Two areas of= interest for the position are pupillometry and EEG measures in relation to= hearing impairment and hearing aids. Physiological measures of cognitive processing in users of rehabilitative t= echnology have the potential to reveal the user=92s cognitive load, or to b= e used for device control. During the first nine months of this appointment= , the Research Fellow will establish and validate new laboratory facilities= for pupillometry, and complete a clinical study on =93Pupillometry for adv= anced hearing aid algorithms=94 in collaboration with the clinical group at= Eriksholm. Following this, and given that funding is secured, the Post Doc= will then be directed towards =93EarEEG for assessing cognitive processing= =94. Pupillometry is a method to quantify cognitive processing load. In general,= a larger task-evoked pupil response reflects higher cognitive load. Litera= ture suggests that people with hearing impairment show more cognitive load = during speech processing. This project is envisaged to investigate whether = certain types of signal processing will reduce cognitive load. Recent studies have shown that the Electroencephalogram (EEG) can be used a= s a brain-computer interface (BCI) in several applications. EarEEG is a new= possibility to record EEG signals from the ear canal. This project aims at= maturing EarEEG BCI methods towards specified tasks. The objectives for both projects are to build up these new research fields = at Eriksholm and to evaluate and develop hearing aid technology in relation= to physiological measures. Both projects include studies on normal-hearing= and hearing-impaired subjects taken from the patient pool at the Eriksholm= Clinic. Your background We are seeking candidates with a PhD degree (or equivalent research experie= nce) in auditory neuroscience, experimental psychology and audiology, cogni= tive science, physics, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, or a= related discipline, who have an excellent research and publication record.= A strong interest in interdisciplinary and application-oriented work, fami= liarity with subjective listening experiments, as well as good English lang= uage skills is required. Matlab and software expertise is necessary. Apart = from initiating cutting-edge research leading to journal publications, the = experienced researcher is expected to be a part of the research group at Er= iksholm and Oticon. Want to join the Eriksholm Research Centre? If this opportunity appeals to you, then submit your application as soon as= possible and no later than 1st August. Please be aware that we are holding= interviews on a continuous basis, so do not hesitate submitting your appli= cation.
