Subject: POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN AUDITORY NEUROETHOLOGY From: Mark Bee <mbee@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 11:58:56 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN AUDITORY NEUROETHOLOGY Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior University of Minnesota - Twin Cities A postdoctoral position is available to investigate acoustic communication in a lower vertebrate model. Our research uses behavioral and neurophysiological methods to study the auditory systems and communication systems of treefrogs (http://umn.edu/home/mbee). The position involves the use of behavioral experiments to examine the mechanisms of sound source segregation in noisy social environments and it will also provide excellent opportunities to develop and implement methods for further investigating the neural mechanisms of hearing in these organisms. The position also provides an opportunity to interact with a large community of behavioral biologists, ecologists, evolutionary biologists, auditory neurophysiologists, audiologists, and hearing psychologists. The successful applicant will have a PhD in animal behavior, psychology, neuroscience, or a related discipline. A background in animal acoustic communication, neuroethology, psychoacoustics, electrophysiology or auditory neurophysiology is preferred, and the candidate should have demonstrated competence in conducting experiments in one or more of these disciplines. Desirable applicants will also have the ability to perform digital signal processing using Matlab and/or other programming languages. Salary will be commensurate with experience. Interested applicants must apply online at http://employment.umn.edu. Search for requisition number 160547. Applications should include (1) a cover letter, (2) a curriculum vitae, and (3) a statement of research interests and experience (attach as Additional Document 1). PDF attachments of published or in press papers are encouraged but not required. In addition to applying online, please have two letters of recommendation sent via email (preferable as PDF files) to Dr. Mark Bee at mbee@xxxxxxxx Review of applications will begin after June 1, 2009, with an anticipated start date of September 2009.
