Please find attached information on a post-doctoral position in auditory cognitive neuroscience and autism that is being offered in my laboratory in Montreal Canada. Best wishes Krista Hyde. ______________________________________ Krista L. HYDE, PhD Assistant Professor, Faculty of Medicine, McGill University Medical Scientist, Montreal Children's Hospital Research Institute Faculty Member, International Laboratory for Brain Music and Sound (brams.org) E-mail: krista.hyde@xxxxxxxx<mailto:krista.hyde@xxxxxxxx> website: http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~hydek/ ________________________________________ Please consider the environment before printing this email :) Post Doctoral Fellow Position Auditory, Brain and Cognitive Development Laboratory Affiliated institutes: International Laboratory for Brain Music and Sound (brams.org) Montreal Children's Hospital Research Institute Montreal Neurological Institute A full-time post doctoral position is available in Dr. Krista Hyde’s Auditory, Brain and Cognitive Development Laboratory. The post-doctoral fellow will participate in ongoing lab studies focused on the brain and behavioral correlates of auditory processing in both typical development and in autism, in both children and adults. In the Auditory, Brain and Cognitive Development Laboratory we conduct both behavioral and brain imaging studies using MRI of brain structure (i.e., Voxel-based Morphometry, Cortical thickness, Diffusion Tensor Imaging) and brain function (i.e., fMRI). The lab mission is to conduct translational research that bridges fundamental cognitive neuroscience and clinical applications in developmental disorders (for example in autism). Candidates must possess a PhD, previous publication record, and strong communication and organization skills. Candidates must have a strong background in one or more of the following: auditory cognitive neuroscience, brain imaging (structure, functional MRI) and working with children (and in particular with autism or other developmental disability). The post-doctoral fellow will participate in all phases of the research project, including recruitment, data collection, data analysis (behavioral and brain imaging), and manuscript preparation. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, writing ethics protocols, providing instruction and supervision to graduate research assistants on experimental procedures assisting with recruitment and scheduling participants, testing participants (children and adults), and maintaining rigorous scientific and ethical standards. The PI is committed to the promotion of the postdoctoral fellow’s career development by creating an exciting and dynamic research environment, and by encouraging the preparation of research papers. The post-doc position is initially for one year, with possible renewal for a second year. Salary will be in line with University post-doctoral stipend levels. The applicant is expected to apply for external post doctoral funding. Please send a cover letter describing previous training and your career goals, CV, and publications directly to Dr. Krista Hyde krista.hyde@xxxxxxxx Applicants should also provide names of three recommenders and arrange for letters of recommendation to be sent separately. The appointment start date is as early as September 1, 2011 (preferred) but applications will be considered until the position is filled. Poste de stagiaire postdoctoral Auditory, Brain and Cognitive Development Laboratory Instituts affiliés: International Laboratory for Brain Music and Sound (brams.org) Montreal Children's Hospital Research Institute Montreal Neurological Institute Un poste de stagiaire postdoctoral à temps plein est disponible dans le laboratoire Auditory, Brain and Cognitive Development Laboratory dirigé par le Dr Krista Hyde. Le candidat sélectionné sera impliqué dans des études sur le traitement auditif chez le sujet sain (enfants et adultes) et dans le cas de l’autisme. Des méthodes d'imagerie cérébrale par IRM (y compris des études sur la neuroanatomie- Voxel based morphometry, l'épaisseur corticale, Diffusion Tensor Imaging) ainsi que des méthodes d’imagerie fonctionnelle (IRMf) sont utilisées au laboratoire. Notre approche vise à effectuer des recherches rejoignant les neurosciences cognitives fondamentales et les applications cliniques dans les troubles du développement (par exemple dans l'autisme). Le candidat doit avoir complété un doctorat, doit posséder un dossier de publications important et avoir d’excellentes capacités de communication et d'organisation. Le candidat doit avoir une bonne expérience dans un ou plusieurs des domaines suivantes: neurosciences cognitives auditives, l’imagerie cérébrale (anatomie, l'IRM fonctionnelle), l’expérience de travail en recherche ou en clinique avec les enfants (et en particulier avec l'autisme serait un atout). Le candidat sélectionné sera impliqué dans toutes les phases du projet de recherche, y compris le recrutement, la collecte et l’analyse des données, ainsi que l’écriture d’articles de haut niveau. Le poste de stagiaire postdoctoral est initialement offert pour un an, avec possibilité de renouvellement pour une deuxième année. Le salaire sera établi en fonction des normes universitaires. Le candidat doit aussi faire des demandes de financement aux organismes externes (FRSQ, IRSC, CRSNG etc.). Les candidats intéressés devront envoyer une lettre de motivation décrivant leur formation et leurs objectifs de carrière, leurs CV et liste de publications directement à Dr Hyde (krista.hyde@xxxxxxxx). Les candidats doivent également joindre trois lettres de références à leur dossier d’application. La date d’entrée en fonction est le 1 septembre (ou dès que possible), mais les demandes seront examinées jusqu'à ce que le poste soit comblé.
