Postdoctoral research position in Music & Memory (neurosciences)

[Sylvain Clément <sylvain.clement@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A full-time postdoctoral research scientist position is available in 
France at the University of
Lille (in collaboration with La Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris) for 12 
months in neuropsychology
and brain imaging of music (epileptic patients, fMRI).

The postdoctoral scientist will be involved in 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 with other investigative methods such as brain 
imagery and
neuropsychology.

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

Provisional project start date: 1 January 2008 (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 (severine.samson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
Applications close on 30 October 2007
