Deroche Adjunct Professor, Otolaryngology, McGill Univ. -------------------------------------------------------------
The Brain, Beats & Bionics research laboratory is looking for motivated graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to join a team led by Alexandre Lehmann and using advanced neuro-behavioural paradigms to understand auditory cognition and improve outcomes in the hearing impaired, with a focus on auditory implants. Current topics include sensory-motor integration, brain plasticity, hearing restoration, listening effort, speech communication, speech perception and production, perception and appreciation of music, patient-centered research. You will use a combination of techniques ranging from behavioral methods, clinical evaluations, virtual reality, machine learning, to nervous system measurements such as eye-tracking pupillometry, mobile electro-encephalography and functional near-infrared spectroscopy. The successful applicant has a relevant degree in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, audiology or a related field. Proficiency in oral and written English is mandatory. The candidate is expected to have excellent organizational and communication skills. A solid background in methodology, programming, statistics and scientific writing is preferred. Previous experience with the techniques and research topics of the lab will be a plus. Applicants for the post-doctoral position must demonstrate the ability to work independently and to produce high-quality peer-reviewed publications. Applicants at the graduate level shall have a strong academic track record and prior research experience. Remuneration will be in accordance with McGill’s University's guidelines. You will be affiliated with McGill University and join the stimulating eco-system surrounding the Brain, Beats & Bionics laboratory: MUHC’s (McGill University Health Center) Cochlear Implant Program, BRAMS-CRBLM (International Laboratory for Brain, Music and Sound Research & Centre for Research on Brain, Language and Music), and CIRMMT (Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Music, Media & Technology). Altogether, these centers offer one of the best infrastructures currently available worldwide for experimental approaches to auditory cognitive neuroscience. On top of being a prominent hub for auditory cognition, Montreal has been dubbed "Canada's Cultural Capital". It hosts the biggest jazz festival in the world, as well as a plethora of major musical, cinematic and visual arts events. It is a friendly multicultural city that ranks in the top for quality of living. Interested individuals should send an email to "brain.sound.experiment[AT]gmail.com", (with subject CognitiveHearingPositions), including a statement of interest describing research experience and qualifications, an academic CV (including contact information of two referees), preferably no later than July 10th 2019. If you are not sure whether this is a good fit for you, do not hesitate to enquire by email before sending your application (also with subject CognitiveHearingPositions).
