A= copy of the ad is pasted below. For further particulars please visit http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/16501/ Cheers Bob A position is available for a postdoctoral scientist to work on a project e= ntitled "A multi-disciplinary approach to understanding and improving heari= ng by cochlear implant users", led by Dr R. Carlyon, Prof J. Middlebrooks, = and Dr. J. Wouters. The position is funded by a Collaborative Award in Scie= nce from the Wellcome Trust and will be based at the MRC Cognition and Brai= n Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge. The project involves a combination of direct-stimulation psychophysical mea= surements, electrophysiological recordings, and computational analysis of r= esults. Computer programming skills are essential. The job will involve pro= gramming in Matlab, calibrating cochlear-implant (CI) stimuli, and performi= ng direct stimulation experiments with CIs. Experience in these roles is th= erefore desirable. The post-holder will have a degree (or equivalent) in a = numerate or auditory discipline, and will hold or be about to obtain a Ph.D= . (or equivalent) in a relevant field. The role involves liaising with clin= ical staff at Addenbrooke's hospital and with patients, and so the post-hol= der will need good interpersonal skills. The role also involves collaborati= ng with the teams led by Prof. Middlebrooks (Univ. California, U.S.A.) and = Prof. Wouters (Univ. Leuven, Belgium); this will include regular meetings a= nd short exchange visits to California and Leuven. There is plenty of scope= for the post-holder to contribute their own ideas and development. Informa= l enquiries can be made to Dr. Carlyon (bob.carlyon@xxxxxxxx<mailt= o:bob.carlyon@xxxxxxxx>). Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 5 years in the first = instance. --_000_9A9432BC31857848B97F53CEAE8386C401C1509775wsrex101mrccb_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-micr= osoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns=3D"http:= //www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Dus-ascii"= > <meta name=3D"Generator" content=3D"Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"> <style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @xxxxxxxx {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} @xxxxxxxx {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {mso-style-priority:99; color:#0563C1; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {mso-style-priority:99; color:#954F72; text-decoration:underline;} p {mso-style-priority:99; mso-margin-top-alt:auto; margin-right:0cm; mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:0cm; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;} span.EmailStyle17 {mso-style-type:personal; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:windowtext;} span.EmailStyle18 {mso-style-type:personal-reply; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; font-size:10.0pt;} @xxxxxxxx WordSection1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --></style><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapedefaults v:ext=3D"edit" spidmax=3D"1026" /> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapelayout v:ext=3D"edit"> <o:idmap v:ext=3D"edit" data=3D"1" /> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--> </head> <body lang=3D"EN-GB" link=3D"#0563C1" vlink=3D"#954F72"> <div class=3D"WordSection1"> <p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span style=3D"color:#1F497D">Dear list,<o:p></o:p><= /span></p> <p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span style=3D"color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></spa= n></p> <p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span style=3D"color:#1F497D">I’m pleased to a= nnounce the availability of a postdoc position in my lab.
