Subject: Positions in Cognitive Hearing Science at Linnaeus Centre HEAD, Sweden From: Thomas Lunner <TLU@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 21:01:40 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C96082.47FF7F38 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Colleagues, Excuse for multiple postings. Link=F6ping University recently received a major 10-year grant from the = Swedish Research Council to create Linnaeus Centre HEAD.=20 At the moment eleven new positions are announced at the post doc and PhD = levels. For more information visit: www.headcentre.se Cognitive Hearing Science is an emerging field of investigation that = encompasses technical and medical audiology as well as clinical and = cognitive psychology, linguistics and sociology. HEAD stands for HEaring And Deafness and thus indicates the field of = research. Linnaeus Centre HEAD forms part of the Swedish Institute for = Disability Research which builds on collaboration between the Swedish = universities of Link=F6ping and =D6rebro. The backbone of Linnaeus = Centre HEAD is a multidisciplinary research team, comprising a core = group of senior scientists, postdoctoral research fellows and close = collaborators. This grant is supplemented by funding for the HEAD = Graduate School on HEaring And Deafness. Within the HEAD area, Cognitive Hearing Science represents a new, = interdisciplinary field that focuses on how hearing-impaired and deaf = people deploy cognitive resources to communicate in realistic, everyday = situations. One central theme at Link=F6ping University is modelling the = dynamic interplay in the nervous system between human cognition and the = auditory signal processing characteristics of hearing enhancement = devices.=20 Investigation of how the brain constructs meaning from degraded and = distorted input signals, and how brain plasticity varies in relation to = the developmental trajectories of cognition and language across the = lifespan are also important parts of this emerging field.=20 For more information: Linnaeus Centre Director and Research Manager - Jerker R=F6nnberg, +46 = 13 282107, jerker.ronnberg@xxxxxxxx Please forward to anyone you think might be interested.
