Description:

Postdoctoral Position in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Speech

The Department of Neurosurgery and the Department of Psychology at the
University of Iowa have an opening for one post-doctoral trainee beginning
after June 1, 2011 working on the cognitive neuroscience of speech
perception. The appointment will be for up to three years. We encourage
applicants with doctoral degrees in neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive
science, as well as linguistics and computer science and related fields.
The applicant will be jointly mentored by Dr. Bob McMurray of the
Department of Psychology and Dr. Hiroyuki Oya of the Department of
Neurosurgery and will spearhead a collaborative research project using
intracranial recording on awake, behaving humans to test theoretical models
of the sensory processes involved in speech perception. The trainee will
also have opportunities to pursue research on speech perception using ERP,
fMRI and/or eye-tracking. The ideal applicant will have a background in
theoretical models of speech perception, comfort using sophisticated
computational techniques for data analysis and/or modeling, and a
background in neuroscience. Applicant must be highly motivated and should
have skills in topics relevant to this field, skills like statistical
modeling of high-dimensional data, time series analysis, knowledge about
psycho- and physical acoustics, computational modeling, and
electrophysiological recording. However, strong applicants from other
backgrounds are also encouraged to apply. The applicant will be embedded in
a rich community studying language and speech perception at multiple
levels, with multiple scholars in Psychology, Neurosurgery and
Communication Sciences and Disorders. Please send a statement of interest,
a CV, and three letters of reference to the application email address
below. Applications will be considered immediately and will be reviewed
until the position is filled.

Application Deadline: 01-May-2011 (Open until filled)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
