Dear colleagues,



I would be grateful if you could please forward the below job advertisement
to anyone who might be interested.



Thanks and best wishes,

Narly.



*****************************************************************


*PhD & Postdoc positions – computational modeling and real-time fMRI
neurofeedback of language, bilingualism and dyslexia *


PhD and Postdoc positions are available at the Brain and Language Lab (
www.brainandlanguagelab.org) at the University of Geneva. The PhD position
is for 3-4 years, and the postdoc position is for up to 4 years, and salary
will be commensurate with experience.  Several projects will be done in
collaborations with Maastricht University and with the University of Vienna.



Applicants should have a strong interest in human brain imaging, and in
language function and dysfunction, and should have one of (or a combination
of) the following profiles:


1. Candidates with a degree in Biomedical Engineering, Computational
Neuroscience, or a related field, and with solid experience in
computational modelling (i.e. encoding / decoding) of fMRI data, machine
learning, statistics and programming. Projects will include extensions of
our recent work on the neural encoding of acoustic information in speech
sounds (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31285622) to higher levels of
language processing.


2. Candidates with a degree in Cognitive Neuroscience, Biomedical
Engineering and/or Psychology, with solid experience in the acquisition and
analysis of brain functional (and structural) imaging data. Projects will
include real-time fMRI neurofeedback training studies, focusing on
different levels/aspects of language learning.

Candidates for either position (depending on experience) will also have the
opportunity to become involved in the analysis of data from a 7T myelin
mapping (R1) study.


The positions are available immediately, and applications will be
considered until the position is filled. Applicants should send me their
CV, a statement of research interests, and the names and contact
information for 2-3 references.


Please feel free to contact me with any questions (Narly.Golestani at unige.ch).



Best wishes,

Narly.
