[AUDITORY] Postdoc Position: McGill University (Montreal)



Postdoctoral Scholar in Group Dynamics of Musical Behaviors

We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic postdoctoral scholar to join a project investigating social, cognitive and physiological bases of group dynamics, conducted with Prof. Caroline Palmer at the Psychology Department, McGill University (Montreal, Canada). The research addresses the nonlinear dynamics that arise among groups of interacting musicians or listeners. Our goal is to identify the sensory and physiological processes that interact with social and cognitive factors to lead to group formation and dissipation. Start date for the one-year position (option of a second-year renewal) is on or around September 2022.

Applicants whose training reflects cognitive, computational, social, or neuroscience techniques, are welcome to apply. The experiments conducted in the project will involve competencies such as computational modeling, physiological and behavioral measurement, and sound analysis. The research project is part of a large Auditory Skill Learning team grant among faculty at McGill University, University of Montreal, and Concordia University, and the postdoc will be integrated with the Montreal music and language community (BRAMSCRBLM). Applications are due by June 10 and should include a cover letter, CV, and statement of research interests, submitted to spllab.mcgill (at) gmail (.com). Two letters of reference should be submitted directly by referees to the same address by June 10. Informal questions can be addressed to Dr. Palmer.
