Description:

A Postdoctoral Research Associate position is available in the lab of E. 
Fiona Bailey Ph.D., within the Physiology Department at the University of 
Arizona, Tucson, AZ. The successful candidate will work on NIDCD-NIH 
funded research projects that investigate the neuromuscular control of 
human tongue in speech production. The research involves the study of 
skilled tongue motion as a human motor output entailing precise neural 
control to achieve a desired acoustic output/target. Using tungsten 
microelectrodes the candidate will identify and characterize single motor 
unit and whole muscle EMG activities as a function of volitional (motor 
cortex) driven behaviors. The candidate will be responsible for 
developing appropriate speech and quasi-speech stimuli and for 
conducting acoustic measures and associated analysis. Salary is 
commensurate with experience and qualifications.

Minimum Qualifications:
-  Doctoral degree in linguistics, neuroscience, biomedical or 
engineering related field
-  Demonstrated excellence in written and spoken English  

Preferred Qualifications:
-  Background in digital signal processing and computational skills 
-  Understanding of motor systems neurophysiology and/or 
electrophysiology 
-  Experience with human subjects
-  Ability to work independently, be highly motivated, and conduct the 
project with minimal supervision
-  Ability to attend to detail
