Apologies for any cross-posting. Researchers at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit<http://www.mrc-cbu= .cam.ac.uk/>, University of Cambridge<https://www.cam.ac.uk/>, are currentl= y inviting applications for PhD studentships<http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/s= tudentships/> in cognitive neuroscience, for intake in October 2021. Variou= s funding streams are available for 3- or 4-year positions. We are seeking applicants interested in the broad area of research into hum= an hearing. Potential research topics include, but are not limited to: neur= oplasticity in normal and hearing-impaired listeners; effects of hearing lo= ss throughout the lifespan; computational modelling of auditory perception;= neuroimaging of auditory and speech perception; and improving hearing by u= sers of cochlear implants and hearing aids. Interested candidates should contact Lorna Halliday<https://www.neuroscienc= e.cam.ac.uk/directory/profile.php?lfh29>, Bob Carlyon<https://www.mrc-cbu.c= am.ac.uk/people/bob.carlyon/>, Matt Davis<http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/peop= le/matt.davis/home/>, or Tobias Goehring<https://www.neuroscience.cam.ac.uk= /directory/profile.php?TobiasGoehring>, in the first instance. The deadline= for applications is 3 December 2020. Many thanks. Lorna Halliday, Bob Carlyon, Matt Davis, & Tobias Goehring MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit University of Cambridge __________________________________ PhD programme The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit typically hosts 20-30 graduate st= udents at any time and applications are invited from prospective PhD studen= ts wishing to pursue research in areas covered by any of our research progr= ammes. Our approaches include experimental cognitive psychology, neuropsych= ology, computational modelling, and neuroimaging using MRI, MEG, and EEG. Deadline: 3 December 2020 Applications are made via the University of Cambridge postgraduate study po= rtal<https://www.postgraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/directory/cvbspdbsc>. Please see our poster<https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020= /08/2020-poster-1.1.pdf> and website<http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/studentsh= ips/> for more details. The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit<http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/> is= one of the largest and most enduring contributors to the understanding of = human cognition and its disorders. Our research investigates fundamental hu= man cognitive processes such as attention, language, memory, and emotion. W= e do this using a combination of behavioural experiments, neuroimaging, and= computer modelling. Behavioural experiments help us understand how these p= rocesses work at all ages and how they become disrupted in disease and diso= rder. Neuroimaging helps us study the brain mechanisms underlying human cog= nition. Where possible, we use our discoveries to improve human health and = well-being from childhood through to older age, for example by developing n= ew treatments for clinical disorders of cognition and mental health. The Un= it provides a lively intellectual environment for scientific research, with= regular lecture and seminar series and research meetings. At any one time,= we have about 15 core research programmes, each run by a senior scientist. The Cambridge Hearing Group Auditory researchers at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit form part= of the Cambridge Hearing Group<https://www.hearing-research.group.cam.ac.u= k/>, a group of over 30 hearing researchers across two Universities and a m= ajor teaching hospital in Cambridge. Our collaborations within Cambridge en= able us to have a clear pipeline for research activities to flow between th= e lab and the clinic. There are unusually strong links between academic res= earchers and clinical partners at Addenbrooke's Hospital<https://www.cuh.nh= s.uk/addenbrookes-hospital> and in the private hearing sector. We have a st= rong network of collaborators in the UK, Europe, North America, Canada and = Australia. Current major research themes include cochlear-implant research,= from front-end signal processing to objective measures of neural health, n= europlasticity in normal and hearing-impaired listeners, binaural processin= g, the effects of hearing loss throughout the lifespan, and both physical a= nd computational models of hearing. The group benefits from a wealth of wor= ld-class expertise in psychology, neuroscience, engineering, surgery, speec= h science, audiology, auditory physiology, electrophysiology, material scie= nce, and computer science. We use a wide variety of research tools to produ= ce cutting-edge research. These include psychoacoustics, virtual reality, s= peech perception, web-based data collection, objective measures such as EEG= , biophysical and computational models of the inner ear, cadaveric studies,= clinical models, and paediatric studies. University of Cambridge Founded in 1209, the University of Cambridge's<https://www.cam.ac.uk/> miss= ion is to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning = and research at the highest international levels of excellence. To date, mo= re than 100 affiliates of the University have won the Nobel Prize. The Univ= ersity comprises 31 autonomous Colleges<https://map.cam.ac.uk/colleges>, an= d 150 Departments, Faculties and institutions<https://www.cam.ac.uk/college= s-and-departments/department-a-z>. It is a global university: its 19,000 st= udent body includes 3,700 international students from 120 countries. Cambri= dge researchers collaborate with colleagues worldwide, and the University h= as established partnerships in Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe. --_000_7d8edaca92394a0eaff37f51e52f0a69mrccbucamacuk_ 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></style> </head> <body lang=3D"EN-GB" link=3D"#0563C1" vlink=3D"#954F72"> <div class=3D"WordSection1"> Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> We would be grateful if you could please circulate t= he following advert as appropriate.
