3 postdoctoral positions on Music & Memory in France

[Sylvain Clément <sylvain.clement@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Three full-time postdoctoral research scientist 
positions are available in France:

Lille: 20 months, neuropsychology (epileptic patients, fMRI)
Lyon: 12 months, cognitive psychology and neuroimaging (EEG, fMRI)
Marseille: 18 months, cognitive psychology and neuroimaging (EEG, fMRI)

The postdoctoral positions integrate into a 
research project on Music and Memory funded by 
the French National Agency of Research. The goal 
of this project is to contribute to our 
understanding of non-verbal auditory memory by 
studying musical memory in comparison to 
language. It covers different aspects of memory, 
from working-memory to long-term memory using 
implicit and explicit investigation methods. The 
cognitive approach of experimental psychology is 
combined to the methods of neurosciences such as 
electrophysiology, brain imagery and neuropsychology.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD in 
experimental psychology with skills in 
experimental design and neurophysiological 
methods (EEG, fMRI). Applicants with interests in 
music, speech and memory are encouraged to apply.

Provisional project start date: 1 January 2007 (or earlier)

Applicants should send a CV and a letter 
describing their research interests and how their 
skills could best be employed within the context 
of the proposed project plus two letters of reference to:
Séverine Samson 
(<mailto:severine.samson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>severine.samson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx), 
Daniele Schön 
(<mailto:daniele.schon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>daniele.schon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) 
and Barbara Tillmann 
(<mailto:btillmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>btillmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

Applications close on 30 October 2006
