ARI is an interdisciplinary research institution of Austria=E2=80=99s = leading non-university research facility. It undertakes top-level = research in psychoacoustics and experimental audiology, acoustic = phonetics, musicology and bioacoustics, physical and computational = acoustics, and mathematics and signal processing. The close interaction = of the working groups allows innovative research approaches through the = synergistic effects of multidisciplinary research. ARI employs ~40 = academic, technical and administrative staff. The position is assigned = to the Psychoacoustics and Experimental Audiology group in Vienna. The successful candidates will work within the project =E2=80=9CBorn2Hear = =E2=80=93 Development and Adaption of Auditory Spatial Processing Across = the Human Lifespan=E2=80=9D -- for more information see our preliminary = project website (http://kfs.oeaw.ac.at/born2hear = <http://kfs.oeaw.ac.at/born2hear>). This project will be led by Robert = Baumgartner, investigated together with the project partners from the = Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology of the Hungarian = Academy of Sciences in Budapest (Co-PI: Brigitta T=C3=B3th; director: = Istv=C3=A1n Winkler), and consulted by a renowned, international = collaboration network (Frederick Gallun, Norbert Kop=C4=8Do, Aaron = Seitz, Barbara Shinn-Cunningham). Responsibilities: =E2=80=A2 Assistance to plan and run experiments combining = psychoacoustic and neuroscientific methods. =E2=80=A2 Analysis of brain responses to auditory spatial cues = recorded by electroencephalogram (EEG). =E2=80=A2 Communication of scientific results in scientific = publications and at scientific meetings. Requirements and qualifications:=20 1) for PhD student: =E2=80=A2 Master=E2=80=99s degree or diploma with excellent = scores in one of the following disciplines: neuroscience, psychology, = engineering, physics, biology, neuroinformatics, or related fields. =E2=80=A2 Previous experience with auditory neuroscience, EEG = studies, and psychophysics is advantageous. 2) for post-doc: =E2=80=A2 PhD with excellent scores in one of the following = disciplines: neuroscience, psychology, engineering, physics, biology, = neuroinformatics, or related fields. =E2=80=A2 Good knowledge and skills in neuroscientific methods, = especially with EEG. Experience with EEG source localization methods = and functional connectivity assessment (Granger, PLV, PLI) are = advantageous.=20 =E2=80=A2 Broad experiences with empirical psychological or = neuroscientific studies; previous experiences with auditory neuroscience = studies is a plus. 1|2) for both positions: =E2=80=A2 Statistical and programming skills (e.g., Matlab, = Python, R, etc.) are crucial. =E2=80=A2 Good knowledge of written and oral English is = desirable. Proficiency in or willingness to learn German will become = essential for communication, especially with participating older adults. =E2=80=A2 Flexibility, ability to learn fast and the ability to = work independently as well as in a scientific team are very welcome. Annual gross salary (before taxes, 14 payments a year) according to the = collective agreement of the Austrian Academy of Sciences: 1) PhD student: EUR 30.072,00 (VG 4/1). 2) Post-doc: commensurate with qualifications and experience but at = least EUR 43.828,40 (VG 4/2). The desired starting date is February 1, 2020.=20 The Austrian Academy of Sciences values diversity and is committed to = equality of opportunity. Candidates should send a CV, copies of relevant certificates, names and = full contact details of two referees, and a brief statement describing = motivations, personal qualifications, and research interests by e-mail = to Robert Baumgartner (robert.baumgartner@xxxxxxxx = <mailto:robert.baumgartner@xxxxxxxx>), no later than December 1, 2019. = Informal inquiries and questions should also be addressed to Robert = Baumgartner.=20 =E2=80=94 =20 Robert Baumgartner, PhD Projektleiter | Project Investigator Institut f=C3=BCr Schallforschung | Acoustics Research Institute =C3=96sterreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften | Austrian Academy of = Sciences Wohllebengasse 12-14, 1040 Wien, =C3=96sterreich | Vienna, Austria T: +43 1 51581-2527 Robert.Baumgartner@xxxxxxxx https://www.kfs.oeaw.ac.at/baumgartner Follow us on Twitter/oeaw <https://twitter.com/oeaw?lang=3Den> Visit us on Youtube = <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY3rUdfN-VCjvfUWojWkayQ> --Apple-Mail=_84266FEC-17D7-472F-B43B-5506EA8D07B4 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 <html><head><meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dutf-8"></head><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; = -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=3D""><div = dir=3D"auto" class=3D"" style=3D"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: = rgb(0, 0, 0); word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = line-break: after-white-space;"><div class=3D""><div class=3D"">The = Acoustic Research Institute (ARI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences is = offering: </div><div class=3D"">1) a PhD student position (F/M, = part time, 30h/week, initially 3 years), and</div><div class=3D"">2) a = post-doctoral position (F/M, full time, 40h/week, initially 2 = years).</div><div class=3D""><br class=3D""></div><div class=3D"">ARI is = an interdisciplinary research institution of Austria=E2=80=99s leading = non-university research facility.
