The Department of Applied
Neurocognitive Psychology at
Oldenburg University, Germany, offers a Post-doctoral position
(salary level
E13 TVL, 3 years) with a focus on signal
processing /
statistical learning for analysis of speech coding in the human
brain. The position is linked
to the
collaborative research center "The Active Auditory System"
SFB-TR 31.
The research center aims to characterize and model mechanism of
auditory object
formation and scene analysis by combining psychophysical,
neurophysiological,
and quantitative modelling. It complements the Excellence
Cluster "Hearing
4 All" which was recently awarded to the University of
Oldenburg. The
combined effort of these centers will establish a strong link
between
neurophysiological models of auditory object representation and
subjective
perception. The post-doctoral
position is
situated in a project that applies statistical learning methods
to human
intracranial recordings (ECoG) and fMRI to derive and test
quantitative
statistical models of speech coding in the human brain. The
experiments are
performed in a highly interdisciplinary lab environment and in
close
collaboration with the University of California Berkeley and
Stanford
University. The quantitative nature
of the
research project will require highly motivated candidates with
strong
quantitative and experimental skills. Successful candidates will
perform
cutting edge research and should have a background in one or
more of the
following fields: signal processing, statistical learning,
brain-machine-interfacing,
non-invasive or invasive human neurophysiology of the auditory
system.
Applicants must have an academic university degree (Master or
equivalent) and a
PhD (or equivalent). Successful candidates
will work in
an interdisciplinary network with opportunities for
international exchange. The post-doctoral
position is
initially limited to three years, with an option for extension,
and can be
split. Applications should
include your CV,
a list of most recent publications, two recommendation letters,
and a research
statement (max. 3 pages). The University of Oldenburg is an
equal opportunity
employer. To increase the proportion of women and
non-disqualifying
handicapped, they will be preferred among candidates with equal
qualifications. Please send inquiries
and electronic
applications per email (preferred) to Professor Dr. Jochem
Rieger: Jochem.rieger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or paper applications
