Subject: [AUDITORY] Two new PDF positions @xxxxxxxx Western University Canada From: Blake Butler <blakeebutler@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2020 13:02:54 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--000000000000958d32059b7c78f2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Drs. Ryan Stevenson, Blake Butler, and Bobby Stojanoski of Western University=E2=80=99s Brain and Mind Institute are actively recruiting two postdoctoral associates. Our labs are in the Department of Psychology and the Brain and Mind Institute, and are part of highly-productive and interdisciplinary group of researchers spanning a wide breadth of topics in cognitive neuroscience. We strongly value the principles of open science, and collaboration across labs and departments is highly encouraged; the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with established collaborators, and to form new partnerships. Successful candidates for both positions will have a PhD in neuroscience, psychology, physiology, computer science, or a related discipline, with a strong record of publication and evidence of the ability to conduct independent research. Quantitative and programming skills in MATLAB, Python, or similar are expected. Successful candidates will also be expected to apply to the BrainsCAN PDF program, though there is the possibility of funding if the BrainsCAN application is not successful. Position 1) The Sensory Perception Research Lab (sensorylab.ca) and the Neuroplasticity in Sensory Systems Lab (NiSSL.ca) are seeking an ambitious postdoctoral associate interested in the study of multisensory integration, specifically audiovisual integration, using fMRI techniques. The successful applicant must have significant experience and demonstrated track record with fMRI procedures and analyses, and individuals with advanced fMRI analysis techniques will be given preference. They will also be encouraged to develop independent projects that build upon the laboratory=E2=80=99s on= going work, including the possibility to work with developmental populations, as well as clinical populations. Position 2) The Sensory Perception Research Lab (sensorylab.ca) and the Development and Disorders of Cognition and Consciousness lab (DDoCC) are seeking an ambitious postdoctoral associate interested in the study of structural changes (e.g. volumetric changes) in late childhood and adolescents in typical development and clinical populations (ASD, ADHD, OCD, etc.) with links to clinical issues, behavioural, and functional development. Applicants must be highly-proficient in structural MRI analysis and piplelines, have the ability to work efficiently with large data sets, and preferably have some experience with fMRI. They will also be encouraged to develop independent projects that build upon the laboratory= =E2=80=99s ongoing work. Western University and the BMI constitute communities that respect, accept, nurture and celebrate the diversity of their members. Our community is one where all members feel valued, respected and included. We strive to ensure our workplace is fully accessible and respectful for people=E2=80=99s diffe= rent needs and abilities. We supports a healthy work-life balance and commit to the right of every member of the community to study, work and conduct his or her activities in an environment free of harassment and discrimination. Each member of our community is accountable for ensuring and supporting positive diversity practices. BrainsCAN PDF salary and funding details are available here. Salaries outside of BrainsCAN is $50,000 per year, plus 13% towards benefits, and is available for two years, with contract renewal for the second year dependent upon satisfactory performance. Renewal beyond year two is possible, but is contingent upon funding. Applications will be accepted until January 15th or until the position is filled. Interested parties should contact Dr. Ryan Stevenson ( rsteve28@xxxxxxxx) and provide the following: 1. A cover letter describing your current research, and interest in our labs 2. Curriculum Vitae 3. Names and contact information for 3 references --=20 Blake E.
