Subject: Postdoctoral position From: Mounya Elhilali <mounya@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2012 20:44:09 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Applicants are sought for a postdoctoral position (one year, renewable up to four years) on a project investigating cognitive processes including attention and prior knowledge in perception of complex acoustic scenes. The project aims to use EEG/ERP techniques to examine neural processes underlying the role of top-down schemas in biasing how listeners segregate and perceive sound objects in everyday listening environments. Experience in setting up and operating EEG equipment as well as state-of-the-art data analysis techniques are essential. Johns Hopkins is an outstanding intellectual environment for medical and engineering research. The laboratory is affiliated with the department of Electrical and computer engineering as well as the Center for Speech & language processing, an interdisciplinary research center. Applicants should have a doctoral-level degree in neuroscience, physics, engineering or relevant disciplines. Prior experience in setting-up and operating EEG equipment, ERP experimental design, data acquisition and analysis is necessary. Strong computational skills are desired. Applications will be considered until the position is filled. For further information or to submit an application (including a CV and two references), please contact Dr. Mounya Elhilali, email: mounya@xxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Mounya Elhilali Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Center for Speech and Language Processing Johns Hopkins University 3400 N.
