Post-doctoral position: Sensory-motor interactions in typical speech production and stuttering
TheLaboratory for Speech Physiology and Motor Control(PI Ludo Max, Ph.D.) at the University of Washington (Seattle) announces an open post-doctoral position in the area ofsensorimotor interactions in the control of speech movements by typical children and adults as well as individuals who stutter. The lab is located in the University of Washington's Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences and has additional affiliations with the Graduate Program in Neuroscience and the Department of Bioengineering. Seehttp://faculty.washington.edu/ludomax/lab/for more information.The successful candidate will use electroencephalography (EEG) to investigate predictive aspects of speech movement planning and motor-to-sensory priming prior to speech initiation. Additional opportunities are available to conduct studies of sensorimotor learning in the same populations of participants.The position is initially for one year (a second-year extension is possible contingent upon satisfactory performance and productivity) with a preferred starting date in the winter or spring of 2019. Applicants should have the Ph.D. degree by the start of the appointment. Review of applications will begin immediately. Candidates with a Ph.D. degree in neuroscience, cognitive/behavioral neuroscience, motor control/kinesiology, biomedical engineering, communication disorders/speech science, and related fields, are encouraged to apply.We seek a candidate with excellent verbal and written communication skills who i...
