Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Neuroimaging and Brain Injury is available

The Human Brain and Behavior Laboratory ( HBBL ) at Florida Atlantic University ( FAU ) seeks to hire a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the area of neuroimaging and brain injury. The successful candidate will work on an NINDS funded project using functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neurophysiological basis of cognitive deficits resulting from mild brain injury and associated mechanisms underlying recovery of function. The research will be carried out using a GE 3.0T MRI located on the FAU campus. A 128 channel Neuroscan EEG system is also available on site and possibilities for extending the work to include MEG and PET tracer studies are in place. Read more...

Postdoctoral Position in Nonlinear Dynamics of Music and Auditory Perception

Our music and auditory dynamics laboratory seeks a postdoctoral research associate to work on dynamical systems modeling of auditory perceptual processes. We use the most advanced mathematical techniques to model auditory and music perception. The postdoc will coordinate all aspects of this project, including:

• analysis and development of nonlinear dynamical models of perception
  
• development of MATLAB toolbox for auditory modeling
  
• evaluation of model predictions; comparison with perceptual and neural data
  
• preparation of journal articles, grants, and presentations
  
• collaboration with industrial research partners
  

Qualifications:

• Knowledge of nonlinear dynamical systems required
• Advanced degree in Physics or Mathematics strongly preferred
• Knowledge of auditory perception and/or neuroscience preferred
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written
• Computer programming experience required
• MATLAB expertise preferred
• Recent PhD graduate

Postdoctoral position pays NIH scale, starting at $36,996. Open immediately, with preferred start date 15 Oct 2007 or earlier. Minimum one year commitment preferred. Please send a curriculum vitae with the contact details of three references to Dr. Edward W. Large: large@ccs.fau.edu
