Post Doctoral Fellow Position

 

Auditory, Brain and Cognitive Development Laboratory 
Affiliated institutes:
International Laboratory for Brain Music and Sound (brams.org)
Montreal Children's Hospital Research Institute
Montreal Neurological Institute

A full-time post doctoral position is available in Dr. Krista Hyde?s
Auditory, Brain and Cognitive Development Laboratory.   The post-doctoral
fellow will participate in ongoing lab studies focused on the brain and
behavioral correlates of auditory processing in both typical development and
in autism, in both children and adults.  In the Auditory, Brain and
Cognitive Development Laboratory we conduct both behavioral and brain
imaging studies using MRI of brain structure (i.e., Voxel-based Morphometry,
Cortical thickness, Diffusion Tensor Imaging) and brain function (i.e.,
fMRI).  The lab mission is to conduct translational research that bridges
fundamental cognitive neuroscience and clinical applications in
developmental disorders (for example in autism).

Candidates must possess a PhD, previous publication record, and strong
communication and organization skills.  Candidates must have a strong
background in one or more of the following: auditory cognitive neuroscience,
brain imaging (structure, functional MRI) and working with children (and in
particular with autism or other developmental disability).  

The post-doctoral fellow will participate in all phases of the research
project, including recruitment, data collection, data analysis (behavioral
and brain imaging), and manuscript preparation. Responsibilities include,
but are not limited to, writing ethics protocols, providing instruction and
supervision to graduate research assistants on experimental procedures
assisting with recruitment and scheduling participants, testing participants
(children and adults), and maintaining rigorous scientific and ethical
standards.  The PI is committed to the promotion of the postdoctoral
fellow?s career development by creating an exciting and dynamic research
environment, and by encouraging the preparation of research papers. 

The post-doc position is initially for one year, with possible renewal for a
second year. Salary will be in line with University post-doctoral stipend
levels.  The applicant is expected to apply for external post doctoral funding.

Please send a cover letter describing previous training and your career
goals, CV, and publications directly to Dr. Krista Hyde
krista.hyde@xxxxxxxxxx  Applicants should also provide names of three
recommenders and arrange for letters of recommendation to be sent
separately.  The appointment start date is as early as September 1, 2011
(preferred) but applications will be considered until the position is filled. 


Poste de stagiaire postdoctoral

 

Auditory, Brain and Cognitive Development Laboratory 
Instituts affiliés:
International Laboratory for Brain Music and Sound (brams.org)
Montreal Children's Hospital Research Institute
Montreal Neurological Institute

Un poste de stagiaire postdoctoral à temps plein est disponible dans le
laboratoire Auditory, Brain and Cognitive Development Laboratory dirigé par
le Dr Krista Hyde. Le candidat sélectionné sera impliqué dans des études sur
le traitement auditif chez le sujet sain (enfants et adultes) et dans le cas
de l?autisme.  Des méthodes d'imagerie cérébrale par IRM (y compris des
études sur la neuroanatomie- Voxel based morphometry, l'épaisseur corticale,
Diffusion Tensor Imaging) ainsi que des méthodes d?imagerie fonctionnelle
(IRMf) sont utilisées au laboratoire.  Notre approche vise à effectuer des
recherches rejoignant les neurosciences cognitives fondamentales et les
applications cliniques dans les troubles du développement (par exemple dans
l'autisme).

Le candidat doit avoir complété un doctorat, doit posséder un dossier de
publications important et avoir d?excellentes capacités de communication et
d'organisation. Le candidat doit avoir une bonne expérience dans un ou
plusieurs des domaines suivantes: neurosciences cognitives auditives,
l?imagerie cérébrale (anatomie, l'IRM fonctionnelle), l?expérience de
travail en recherche ou en clinique avec les enfants (et en particulier avec
l'autisme serait un atout).  Le candidat sélectionné sera impliqué dans
toutes les phases du projet de recherche, y compris le recrutement, la
collecte et l?analyse des données, ainsi que l?écriture d?articles de haut
niveau. 

Le poste de stagiaire postdoctoral est initialement offert pour un an, avec
possibilité de renouvellement pour une deuxième année. Le salaire sera
établi en fonction des normes universitaires.   Le candidat doit aussi faire
des demandes de financement aux organismes externes (FRSQ, IRSC, CRSNG etc.).

Les candidats intéressés devront envoyer une lettre de motivation décrivant
leur formation et leurs objectifs de carrière, leurs CV et liste de
publications directement à Dr Hyde (krista.hyde@xxxxxxxxx).  Les candidats
doivent également joindre trois lettres de références à leur dossier
d?application.  La date d?entrée en fonction est le 1 septembre (ou dès que
possible), mais les demandes seront examinées jusqu'à ce que le poste soit
comblé.
