Subject: Postdoc in combined human fMRI and depth electrode programme From: teki <radiotek@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2011 21:52:05 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--00248c0ef15e2b8998049dc347bd Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Dear list members, Please see the advert below for a postdoctoral position with Prof. Tim Griffiths and Dr. Matt Howard - We seek to appoint a postdoctoral worker who would be based in Iowa and carry out studies of neurosurgical patients under the care of Dr Matt Howard. The post is related to a programme of work in collaboration with Dr Tim Griffiths in the UK funded by the Wellcome Trust (UK) for five years. The work involves recording of electrical responses to sound stimuli from the auditory cortex of patients undergoing presurgical evaluation for epilepsy and carrying out auditory fMRI on the same patients. Unique custom facilities for both are available in Iowa. A series of experiments is underway to examine pitch and object perception (refs). We require a flexible scientist able to work with a multidisciplinary team. We expect work of this nature to attract applicants with a variety of backgrounds that might include animal neurophysiology or human imaging. Tim Griffiths (t.d.griffiths@xxxxxxxx) and Matt Howard (<matthew-howard@xxxxxxxx> matthew-howard@xxxxxxxx) would be pleased to answer any further questions.
