*** Postdoctoral Position in Neuroscience of Language : Aarhus, Denmark***
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scientist post to support
research into neurobiological foundations of language at the Center of
Functionally Integrative Neuroscience (CFIN), Department of Clinical
Medicine at Aarhus University.
The successful applicant will work on a research project funded by the
Lundbeck Foundation, exploring the neurophysiological mechanisms of
language learning (word acquisition in particular) using various
neuroimaging techniques, and carrying out specific scientific research
in collaboration with line manager and other team members. The
postholder’s research will be centred on exploring structural and
functional neural plasticity 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 one
or more of state-of-the-art neuroimaging modalities
(structural/functional MRI, DTI, MEG , EEG, TMS. etc) 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 1.5 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 TIMTrio 3T, Magnetom Skyra 3T), PET,
navigated TMS, EEG, eye-tracking equipment, Two-Photon Microscopy, etc.,
and have well-established clinical and other collaborations. Aarhus
University provides an inspiring international research environment with
top neuroscience facilities. 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.
