[AUDITORY] Graduate training opportunity in the MAPLE Lab (McMaster University)

[Michael Schutz <schutz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The MAPLE (Music, Acoustics, Perception and LEarning) lab at McMaster
University has two potential trainee opportunities graduate students
beginning Fall 2021.  The first is for an ongoing project exploring
the use of new timbres for auditory alarms in medical devices.  The
successful student will join our group working with an international
team to create more effective human-computer interfaces optimizing
surgical outcomes.  The background for this project is described in
our recent Scientific Reports survey/review:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-63132-2.  The second
opening is for a SSHRC-funded project exploring changes in the
communication of emotion over several centuries of musical history.
Please visit www.maplelab.net for more information on projects and a
complete list of pertinent publications.

Applicants will need a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Cognitive
Science, Neuroscience, Computer Science, or another affiliated
discipline.  Experience with computer programming and statistical
analyses will be viewed favourably but is not required.  General
information on the graduate program and links to application
instructions can be found at www.maplelab.net/grad.  Specific
questions beyond those addressed on this page should be directed to
Dr. Michael Schutz (schutz@xxxxxxxxxxx). Please include a CV,
unofficial transcript, brief writing sample, and indication of
citizenship/residency status (i.e. Canadian or non-Canadian) with your
inquiry.
