This position is supported for up to 3 years by an NI= DCD/NIH R01 grant. Postdoctoral fellows will be encouraged and mentored to= develop their own research projects and funding.=20 Research topics can include but are not limited to: - Binaural pitch fusion, and how it relates to peripheral resolution and to= auditory scene analysis=20 - Dichotic speech fusion, and physiologically-based computational modeling= =20 - Objective measures of binaural fusion Qualified applicants will have a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Electrica= l Engineering, Neuroscience, Psychology, Communication Sciences and Disorde= rs, or related fields. The candidate should have strong oral and written E= nglish communication skills, and experience with psychophysical experiments= , computational modeling, signal processing, and programming in C++ and MAT= LAB. =20 We are part of one of the major auditory research centers in the U.S., with= over 15 laboratories at the Oregon Hearing Research Center (OHRC) and the = Portland VA National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR) in= Portland, Oregon, USA. Research spans the basic sciences to human behavio= r, and cochlea to auditory cortex. This is a rich environment for academic= interaction and collaboration. =20 Interested applicants should email a cover letter, curriculum vita, poster = or publication samples, and three references to Lina Reiss, Ph.D., at reiss= @xxxxxxxx
