We use the most advanced mathematical techniques to model auditory and music perception (see http:// www.ccs.fau.edu). The postdoc will coordinate all aspects of this project, including: * analysis and development of nonlinear dynamical models of perception * development of MATLAB toolbox for auditory modeling * evaluation of model predictions; comparison with perceptual and neural data * preparation of journal articles, grants, and presentations * collaboration with industrial research partners Qualifications: * Knowledge of nonlinear dynamical systems required * Advanced degree in Physics or Mathematics strongly preferred * Knowledge of auditory perception and/or neuroscience preferred * Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written * Computer programming experience required * MATLAB expertise preferred * Recent PhD graduate Postdoctoral position pays NIH scale, starting at $36,996. Open immediately, with preferred start date 15 Oct 2007 or earlier. Minimum one year commitment preferred. Please send a curriculum vitae with the contact details of three references to Dr. Edward W.
