PhD Position: Perceptual and Cerebral Mechanisms of Voice Processing in
Macaques

A new European Research Council (ERC) advanced grant starts at
Aix-Marseille University, France, for 5 years. Project “COVOPRIM–A
Comparative Study of Voice Processing in Primates” (
www.neuralbasesofcommunication.eu/projects/covoprim), awarded to prof.
Pascal Belin at the La Timone Neuroscience Institute, aims to compare the
perceptual and cerebral mechanisms of voice perception in humans, baboons,
macaques and marmosets.  For this a broad range of methods will be used
including ad-lib automated behavioural testing in social groups, anatomical
and functional MRI at 3T and 7T, neurophysiological recordings as well as
micro-stimulation and TMS.

A full-time PhD Student post is offered for at least 3 years specifically
focused on behavioural testing and awake fMRI scanning in rhesus macaques.
Applications of highly motivated candidates with interests in systems
neuroscience, auditory sciences and neuroimaging are welcomed. The
successful candidate will have a degree in Neuroscience, Computational
Neuroscience, Experimental Psychology, Neurobiology, Biomedical
Engineering, Biophysics or equivalent fields. He/she will have a keen
interest in investigating the auditory system of non-human primates in a
comparative framework. Methodological skills and previous experience in:
behavioural experiments involving training of non-human primates, fMRI
recordings and data analysis, knowledge in scripting and scientific
programming, such as Matlab/Python, computational modelling are
particularly valued.

Evaluation of candidates begins immediately. Candidates should contact
pascal.belin at univ-amu.fr and provide a detailed CV, a motivation letter and
the name of two potential referees before the closing date of September
1st, 2019. The appointment is expected to begin on October 1st, 2019 with a
net salary between 1650-2000 euros per month depending on level of
experience and applicable taxes.
