Fwd: MEG of language learning - 3-year postdoc

Dear colleagues, Apologies for multiple (and possible cross-) postings - but this is actually another MEG/neuroscience of language job in Denmark. Could you please circulate this to your departmental lists or anyone who could be interested? Thanks, /yury/ Yury Shtyrov, DPhil Professor - Head of MEG Group MINDLab - Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN) Institute for Clinical Medicine Aarhus University, Denmark ------------------ Post-doctoral Position in Neuroscience of Language Aarhus University Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scientist to support research into neurobiological foundations of language at the Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN), Aarhus University. The successful Applicant will work on a 3-year research project funded by the Lundbeck Foundation, exploring the brain foundations of language (word learning in particular) using MEG, and carrying out specific scientific research in collaboration with line manager and other team members. The postholder’s research will be centred on using MEG and on the spatio-temporal dynamics of the neural activity underlying speech and language processing in the human brain. Ideal candidates will therefore have experience in neuroimaging and in language research. Previous experience in using EEG or/and MEG is essential. Eligible candidates should hold a PhD or similar degree in a relevant discipline, including (but not limited to) psychology, neuroinformatics or neuroscience. The position is to be filled as soon as possible and is open for up to 3 years within the funding period allowed. CFIN is an international multidisciplinary research centre based at Aarhus University’s Institute for Clinical Medicine, Denmark. Our research groups are supported by state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience facilities including research-only 306-channel TRIUX MEG system (Elekta Neuromag), fMRI systems (Siemens TIM Trio 3T, Magnetom Skyra 3T), PET, navigated TMS, EEG and eye-tracking equipment, Two-Photon Microscopy, etc., and have well-established clinical and other collaborations. See cfin.au.dk for more information. Aarhus University provides an inspiring international research environment with top neuroscience facilities, and is consistently listed among the world's best 100 universities. Aarhus is a dynamic university city located on the Baltic coast in continental Denmark and surrounded by nature; it offers very high living standards, rich cultural and intellectual life, outdoor activities, excellent restaurant/nightlife scene etc. To apply, please go to http://www.au.dk/en/about/job/sun/academicpositions/ Additional information regarding this position can be obtained by contacting Professor Yury Shtyrov, head of MEG, CFIN: Yury.Shtyrov(a)cfin.au.dk
