*POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW POSITION*
* *
Applications are invited for a 12-month full-time Postdoctoral Position
in cognitive neuroscience in Lyon, France, to analyze MEG data on speech
perception. The post-doc is part of an exciting new project called
“ODYSSEE” (funded by the French National Research Agency), which is a
collaboration between Dr Véronique Boulenger from the Laboratory
Dynamics of Language (CNRS) and Dr Karim Jerbi from the Lyon
Neuroscience Research Centre (INSERM).
The project aims at uncovering the functional role of the motor system
in speech perception, by examining the dynamics of neural oscillations
in auditory and premotor regions during the perception of natural speech
at various rates using MEG (magnetoencephalography).
Project website:
http://www.ddl.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/projets/odyssee
The project will be conducted in Lyon, a vibrant and stimulating
neuroscience environment and a culturally rich city life, ideally
located just an hour away from the Alpes, 2 hours from Paris and an hour
and a half from Marseille and the Mediterranean sea.
*Key requirements for the candidates:*
The ideal candidate will have a PhD in neuroscience, cognitive sciences
or a related field and will have substantial experience in MEG imaging
analyses (e.g. time-frequency analysis, source estimation techniques and
connectivity analysis) and good programming skills (MATLAB). A
background in speech and language would be beneficial.
Applications in the form of a cover letter with statement of research
interests and a CV with full publication list should be sent by email to
veronique.boulenger(a)ish-lyon.cnrs.fr
<mailto:veronique.boulenger@ish-lyon.cnrs.fr>, with cc to
karim.jerbi(a)inserm.fr <mailto:karim.jerbi@inserm.fr>.
Applicants from outside the European Union are welcome but they must
qualify for a valid visa. French speaking is not a requirement (although
it is an asset) as long as the English language is mastered.
Starting date: 7^th January 2013
Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
Please feel free to forward this announcement to colleagues and students
who could be interested in this position.
