Fwd: PhD position (3 years) on speech perception and production - Leipzig/Germany
by Gary Green 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

The Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI-CBS) in Leipzig/Germany is now offering a PhD position for 3 years in a research project on speech perception and production using TMS and fMRI or MEG. During every-day conversations, we produce well-articulated speech and comprehend the meaning of words and the speaker’s emotions and intentions without any effort. What seems so easy is based on highly complex neural processes that afford the reciprocal integration of auditory and motor signals that are still poorly understood. Does speech production rely on a hemispheric specialization at the level of the motor cortex? How does the motor cortex support speech perception? The PhD project will address these questions with a combination of neuroscientific methods (TMS, fMRI, MEG) and acoustic analyses. Applicants must have a master degree (or equivalent) in speech science, psychology, cognitive sciences, neuroscience, medicine, phonetics or a related field. Proficiency in oral and written English is necessary. A solid methods background (statistics and programming) as well as prior experience with either functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are highly desirable. Most importantly, the successful applicant will share our enthusiasm in research questions on speech and prosody in perception and production. Preferable starting date is June 2015. Salary is dependent on experience and based on the funding guidelines of the Max Planck Society. The research is conducted at the MPI-CBS in Leipzig, Germany, an internationally leading center for cognitive and imaging neuroscience equipped with a 7T MRI scanner, three 3T MRI scanners, a 306 channels MEG system, a TMS system and several EEG systems. All facilities are supported by experienced IT and physicist staff. Our institute offers a very international environment, with English and German being the languages spoken in the laboratory. It offers a friendly and generous environment of researchers with diverse backgrounds and with an excellent infrastructure. In order to increase the proportion of female staff members, applications from female scientists are particularly encouraged. Preference will be given to disabled persons with the same qualification. Applications should be sent to the email below as a single, appropriately named pdf email attachment. It should enclose a cover letter (max. 2 pages) that also specifies your future research interests; a CV; up to three representative reprints; and contact details of two personal references. This call closes on April 30, 2015. Interviews will be held in the first week of May 2015. The application should be sent directly to personal(a)cbs.mpg.de using the code “PhD 3/15” in the subject. For further details please contact Dr Daniela Sammler or Dr Nicole Neef, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany, sammler(a)cbs.mpg.de / neef(a)cbs.mpg.de -- Dr. Daniela SAMMLER Research Group Leader Otto Hahn Group "Neural Bases of Intonation in Speech" Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences Stephanstr. 1a, 04103 Leipzig phone: +49 341 9940 2679 fax: +49 341 9940 2204

The PhD Research Fellow will be part of Traumatic Brain Injury group - Trondheim TBI group, which is a multidisciplinary group including clinicians and researchers from many different departments at the Faculty of Medicine (NTNU) and at St. Olavs Hospital, Trondheim University Hospital. The candidate will also collaborate with Trondheim fMRI group. For more information about the Department and the different research groups, see the following pages: http://www.ntnu.edu/isb, http://www.ntnu.edu/inm/tbi, http://www.ntnu.edu/isb/fmri. The period of employment for the position is three years. The main goal of the project “Mild and moderate TBI” is to increase our understanding of the pathophysiological processes of traumatic brain injuries and of the complex aetiology of the long-term morbidity commonly seen after moderate and even mild injuries. The PhD project will focus on analyses of the longitudinal evolution of diffusion tensor imaging and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DTI/DKI) metrics and more in-depth studies of susceptibility to injury in different regions within the brain. This will provide new knowledge about the relative strength and spatial distribution of on-going biological processes in the brain as a response to injury; plasticity and chronic degeneration. *More information about the position and application details here:* ** *http://www.jobbnorge.no/ledige-stillinger/stilling/110709* ** *The application deadline is on 16 March 2015.* For further information about the positions, please contact: Researcher Live Eikenes, email: live.eikenes(a)ntnu.no, phone: +47 73551534.
