Subject: [AUDITORY] Postdoc position available in the O-Lab at Duke University From: Tobias Overath <otobias@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2019 12:19:52 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail=_234C24EC-2160-485A-AAC1-8C4B878E9C95 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Dear all, We are looking for a highly motivated early-career scientist to join the = O-Lab (http://people.duke.edu/~jto10/ <http://people.duke.edu/~jto10/>), = led by Prof. Tobias Overath, in the Department of Psychology & = Neuroscience at Duke University. Work in our lab investigates how = sounds, from simple sinusoids to complex speech signals, are processes = in the human brain, using a combination of behavioral (psychoacoustics) = and neuroimaging methods (fMRI, EEG, ECoG) to describe the underlying = neural processes. Current projects investigate the transformation from = acoustic to linguistic analysis of temporal speech structure, online = measures of statistical learning, and optimization of cochlear implant = coding strategies. Applicants should have recently completed a graduate degree in auditory = neuroscience (broadly construed) or a related field, ideally using = neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, M/EEG, ECoG). Strong computational skills = are essential (Matlab, Python), as are good interpersonal skills and the = ability to work in a research team. Interested candidates should have = established a track record of publications from their graduate studies = and demonstrated the motivation to pursue a successful career in science = and academia. Salary is dependent on years of experience and follows the = NIH salary scale for postdocs. Duke University provides a vibrant, highly connected scientific = environment, with many relevant departments and interdisciplinary = initiatives (e.g. Departments of Neurobiology, Biomedical Engineering, = Electrical and Computer Engineering; Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, = Duke Institute for Brain Sciences, Brain Imaging and Analysis Center). = In addition, the Research Triangle (Durham, Chapel Hill, Raleigh) boasts = a wealth of research initiatives. Applications will be reviewed until February 15, 2019, or until the = position is filled.
