The cluster of
excellence Hearing4all: Models, Technology and Solutions for
Diagnostics,
Restoration and Support of Hearing at the Carl
von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg (in collaboration with
Medizinische
Hochschule Hannover and Leibniz Universität Hannover) is seeking to
fill the
position of a
<p class="Default"><b>Postdoctoral
Research Associate in the Field of Auditory Psychophysiology </b>
</p>
<p class="Default">in the Department of Psychology, Faculty of
Medicine and Health Sciences. </p>
<p class="Default">The position is available from 1 September
2013, for initially 2 years, with prospect for continuation for up
to 2.5 more
years. Payment is depending on previous experience (German TV-L
E13, full
time). </p>
<p class="Default">A paramount goal of the cluster of excellence
Hearing4all (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.hearing4all.de">www.hearing4all.de</a>) is to transform audiology into an
“exact” science based on the
interplay between experiment and theory as well as between basic
science and
clinical research. In the framework provided by the cluster the
successful
candidate is expected to contribute to the research goals of task
group 2
“Audioneurotechnology and theragnostics” or task group 7
“Brain-computer
interface for hearing devices”, e.g., by:

<p class="Default">Candidates are expected to have an academic
university degree in the field of psychology, biology,
neuroscience, or a
related discipline and have shown their ability to perform
excellent scientific
work, usually demonstrated by the outstanding quality of their
Doctorate/PhD
research and a good publication record. We are seeking candidates
with
extensive knowledge in at least one of the following methods:
advanced EEG
recording and analysis; near-infrared spectroscopy. Excellent
Matlab skills are
mandatory and good knowledge of EEG analysis software suites
(e.g., EEGLAB,
Fieldtrip, BESA, LORETA) will be an asset. It is also necessary to
have a
background in experimental psychology, and knowledge of the German
language is required. The Department of Psychology will offer an
attractive
scientific environment with access to research dedicated
state-of-the-art
approaches to human neurophysiological techniques (fMRI, NIRS,
EEG, MEG,
mobile EEG and mobile eye-tracking).
