POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS: BRAIN-BASED DIAGNOSIS OF HEARING DYSFUNCTION
<br>
<br>
The Miller Lab at the UC Davis Center for Mind & Brain invites
applications for two postdoc positions on a multi-year,
translational project bridging auditory cognitive neuroscience and
hearing loss. The research addresses speech perception in dynamic,
cluttered scenes using a novel EEG-based approach that characterizes
listening across multiple auditory, linguistic, and cognitive levels
of processing. By studying a large, age-diverse cohort of Veterans
in the lab and the clinic, the research has great potential to
inform both the basic neuroscience and the practical treatment of
common noise- and age-related hearing dysfunctions. <br>
<br>
Necessary background and skills include:<br>
* substantial EEG experience<br>
* strong programming skills in Matlab (e.g. Fieldtrip, EEGLAB)<br>
* general aptitude with time series analyses<br>
* good quantitative skills including statistics<br>
* strong scientific writing, and a record of first-authored
publications<br>
* enthusiasm and ability to work closely on an interdisciplinary
team<br>
<br>
Desirable skills include:<br>
* an understanding of speech perception and attention in a
quasi-naturalistic setting <br>
* experience with pupillometry<br>
* experience with machine learning / classification<br>
* some familiarity with clinical audiology<br>
<br>
The UC Davis Center for Mind & Brain is a premier research
institute with a lively and supportive community of appx. 200
students, staff, and faculty. It provides outstanding opportunities
for training and collaboration among world experts in language,
attention, and EEG methods.<br>
<br>
Salary is consonant with postdoctoral experience and substantially
exceeds the NIH scale, as per UC Davis policy. <br>
<br>
Position will remain open until filled, but to ensure consideration
please apply by APRIL 1, 2021. Application materials should include
a brief cover letter, CV, and contact details for at least two
referees. These should be sent as a single PDF file to Prof. Lee M.
