[AUDITORY] Funded post-doctoral fellowship - CAANLab, Memorial University



Applications are invited for a funded Postdoctoral Fellowship in Auditory Neuroscience in the Cognitive Aging and Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory (CAANLab; http://www.caanlab.ca), under the supervision of Dr. Benjamin Zendel.  The CAANLab is located in the Faculty of Medicine at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Applicants must have a doctoral degree in psychology, neuroscience, biology, genetics, music, computer science, audiology, or another related field by the start date (or close to completion).  Experience with auditory research, cognitive psychology collecting and analyzing neuroimaging (particularly EEG) or genetic data, music theory, neuroscience, statistics, or machine learning will be considered assets.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on both existing projects based on their expertise and to develop their own research projects. Current lines of research in the lab include: exploring the impact of music training on auditory and cognitive abilities, music perception (particularly in older adults), genetics of musicality, machine learning analysis of EEG data, and age-related hearing loss. The CAANLab is well equipped to conduct auditory cognitive research.  The lab houses a 128-channel Biosemi EEG system with the ability to record FFR/ABRs in a double walled sound booth.  Additionally, we have an in-lab piano, virtual reality system, and clinical-grade audiometer.  The lab is part of the new Human Neuroscience Centre at Memorial University.

The position is funded, and the salary will be negotiated based on experience. The position is for an initial term of two years, and may be renewed.  Start-date is as soon as possible. Extended health benefits, and funds for conference travel will also be made available to the successful candidate. 

To apply please send a CV, a short letter summarizing your research interests, and contact information for two references to Dr. Benjamin Zendel (bzendel@xxxxxx)
