Subject: [AUDITORY] Two New Postdoctoral Positions at Carnegie Mellon University From: Lori Holt <lholt@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2020 16:24:10 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--0000000000000a294c059fe5d1d0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" We are pleased to announce two open postdoctoral research positions at Carnegie Mellon University. *(1) NIDCD-supported project on Dimension-based auditory attention* This position will be supported by a new NIH-supported research project, Dimension-based auditory attention.The project weds the joint expertise of Drs. Lori Holt and Barbara Shinn-Cunningham (Carnegie Mellon University) and Drs. Frederic Dick and Adam Tierney (Birkbeck College, University of London) to advance our understanding of how human adults selectively attend to specific dimensions of complex sound. This position will be based at CMU in Pittsburgh, with close connections to our UK collaborators at Birkbeck. For more information: https://www.cmu.edu/dietrich/psychology/holtlab/PDF/postdocadcmu.pdf *(2) Montgomery Research Foundation project on acquired salience in auditory attention* This position will be supported by the Jeff and Valerie Montgomery Research Foundation to wed the joint expertise of Drs. Barbara Shinn-Cunningham, Lori Holt and Richard Randall (Carnegie Mellon University) to advance our understanding of how specific dimensions of complex sound acquire salience in capturing attention. The long-term goal of this collaborative, inter-disciplinary research program is to arrive at an understanding of the behavioral and brain bases of auditory attention and how auditory attention may be dysregulated in listeners with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and to explore whether, and how, music may alleviate PTSD symptoms. This position will be based at CMU in Pittsburgh.
