Description:

The LABEX-EFL recruits a doctoral candidate for a 3-year PhD.

This PhD project, which belongs to the Axe « Representation and language
processing in a Lifespan perspective”, aims to explore the auditory mechanisms
involved in speech perception during early development (during the first year
of life). We are particularly interested in the neural basis of the processing
of speech acoustic cues during phonetic discrimination and in the emergence of
an asymmetrical processing of consonants and vowels.

This project will be co-supervised by Dr. Laurianne Cabrera & Dr. Thierry
Nazzi from the Babylab of the Integrative Neuroscience and Cognition Center
(INCC), Université de Paris-CNRS:
https://baby.biomedicale.parisdescartes.fr/en

This project will use the electroencephalography technique (EEG) and
behavioural techniques (such as the Head-Turn Preference Procedure, HPP) to
measure infants’ responses during the perception of speech sounds presented in
acoustically manipulated conditions.

We are encouraging candidates with a Master degree in Cognitive Sciences,
Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Linguistics or related fields.
The candidate must be fluent in French (to communicate with the participants
of the experiments) and also in English (common language of the research
team). Solid knowledge in psycholinguistics and/or psychoacoustics and also in
cognitive development is warranted. Moreover, practical expertise with young
infants and EEG is necessary. Some programming and statistical skills (Matlab,
R, Python) will be appreciated.

The salary would be approximately 1700€ net / month and the contract will
start on October 1 2020.

The applications are to be sent to Laurianne Cabrera
(laurianne.cabrera at parisdescartes.fr) before April 5 2020. 
The interviews will be held in Paris between April 20-24 for a final decision
on April 30 2020.

Please send a: CV, motivation letter, 2 letters of recommendation, the list of
the Master courses with their evaluation, as well as a copy of the diploma.

For further information, you could contact Laurianne Cabrera
 

Application Deadline: 05-Apr-2020
