Postdoc, PhD, and Lab manager positions available in the O-Lab at Duke University

Postdoc, PhD, and Lab manager positions available in the O-Lab at Duke University We are looking for highly motivated scientists to join theO-Lab, led by Prof. Tobias Overath, in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University. Work in our lab investigates how sounds, from simple sinusoids to complex speech signals, are processed in the human brain, using a combination of behavioral (psychoacoustics) and neuroimaging methods (fMRI, EEG, ECoG) to track the underlying neural processes. Current projects investigate the transformation from acoustic to linguistic analysis of temporal speech structure, online measures of statistical learning, as well as optimization of cochlear implant coding strategies.We have job openings at various levels:Postdocsshould have completed a graduate degree in auditory neuroscience (broadly construed) or a related field, ideally using neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, M/EEG, ECoG). Interested candidates should have established a track record of publications from their graduate studies and demonstrated the motivation to pursue a career in science.Graduate studentsshould have received an undergraduate degree in psychology, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, or a related field; familiarity with signal processing, fMRI, M/EEG, and or related experimental techniques is a plus, as is advanced knowledge of at least one programming language (preferably Matlab). Admission is possible via thePsychology and Neuroscience graduate program, o...
