POST-DOCTORAL POSITION: COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE OF MUSIC

[Mary Farbood <mary@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position in the 
Computational Neuroimaging Laboratory at New York University under the 
supervision of Dr. David Heeger (Psychology and Center for Neural 
Science), Dr. Morwaread Farbood (Music and Audio Research Laboratory), 
and Dr. Gary Marcus (Psychology).  The lab's research focuses on the use 
of fMRI to quantitatively investigate the relationship between brain and 
behavior. The goal of the project is to study the neural correlates of 
musical structure.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in neuroscience, psychology, or other 
relevant disciplines.  Important criteria include good oral and written 
communication skills, computing skills, a working knowledge of Matlab, 
and competence in statistics.  The ideal candidate would also have some 
musical background, particularly a working knowledge of music theory.

Please send a CV, brief statement of research experience and interests, 
and contact information of three references via email to Dr. Morwaread
