Post-doc for auditory
developmental studies with TMS and EEG We are
seeking applicants to nominate for a post-doctoral fellowship award by the Auditory
Cognitive Neuroscience (ACN) Network (http://www.acn-create.org/admissions/),
in the Auditory Development Laboratory in the Department of Psychology,
Neuroscience & Behaviour, McMaster University and the McMaster Institute
for Music and the Mind, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
The
post-doctoral fellow will work with Dr. Laurel Trainor, and participate in studies
concerning the neural mechanisms underlying rhythm processing and their
plasticity with music training in adults and children as well as clinical
populations, using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and
electroencephalography (EEG). The
studies will be part of collaborative research with Drs. Larry Roberts and
Geoffry Hall at McMaster University and Drs. Tomáš Paus, Takako Fujioka, and
Bernhard Ross at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto. Also
the ACN provides scientific exchange opportunities through annual summer
workshops with trainees and mentors in the other participating laboratories in
the Montreal and Toronto areas. We are looking
for candidates with a PhD with a strong track record of publication and
experience in TMS-related neuroimaging studies and behavioural methods.
Please contact
Dr. Laurel Trainor (LJT@xxxxxxxxxxx) for more details. The deadline for ACN
award application is January 20, 2012, so we will begin looking at application
in early January. _______________________________________________ Laurel Trainor, Ph.D. Director, McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind Professor, Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour McMaster University 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON, Canada L8S 4K1 office: 905-525-9140 x23007 fax: 905-529-6225 |
