<p>The Department of Applied Neurocognitive Psychology at Oldenburg
University, Germany, offers a <o:p></o:p></p>
<h4>Post-doctoral position (salary level E13 TVL, 3 years)<o:p></o:p></h4>
<p>with a focus on signal processing / statistical learning for
analysis of speech coding in the human brain. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The position is linked to the collaborative research center "The
Active Auditory System" SFB-TR 31. The research center aims to
characterize and model mechanism of auditory object formation and
scene analysis by combining psychophysical, neurophysiological,
and quantitative modelling. It complements the Excellence Cluster
"Hearing 4 All" which was recently awarded to the University of
Oldenburg. The combined effort of these centers will establish a
strong link between neurophysiological models of auditory object
representation and subjective perception. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The post-doctoral position is situated in a project that applies
statistical learning methods to human intracranial recordings
(ECoG) and fMRI to derive and test quantitative statistical models
of speech coding in the human brain. The experiments are performed
in a highly interdisciplinary lab environment and in close
collaboration with the University of California Berkeley and
Stanford University. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The quantitative nature of the research project will require
highly motivated candidates with strong quantitative and
experimental skills. Successful candidates will perform cutting
edge research and should have a background in one or more of the
following fields: signal processing, statistical learning,
brain-machine-interfacing, non-invasive or invasive human
neurophysiology of the auditory system. Applicants must have an
academic university degree (Master or equivalent) and a PhD (or
equivalent). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Successful candidates will work in an interdisciplinary network
with opportunities for international exchange. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The post-doctoral position is initially limited to three years,
with an option for extension, and can be split. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Applications should include your CV, a list of most recent
publications, two recommendation letters, and a research statement
(max. 3 pages). The University of Oldenburg is an equal
opportunity employer. <span lang="EN-US">The University of
Oldenburg is dedicated to increasing the percentage of women in
science. Therefore, equally qualified female candidates will be
given preference. Applicants with disabilities will be
