Dear Colleagues,


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


Many thanks in advance and best wishes,

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


With the launch of a new ‘NCCR Evolving Language’ (
http://www.snf.ch/SiteCollectionDocuments/nfs/Faktenblatt_NCCR_evolvinglanguage_en.pdf),
which involves nearly 40 different research groups from a large variety of
disciplines across Switzerland, we seek to fill a *Postdoc position for a
four-year project* starting in September 2020, or at the selected
candidate’s earliest convenience.

Our goal is to make progress in understanding *the importance of prosody in
language processing*. To this end, we plan to carry out a set of studies
involving both *computational modeling of fMRI *and/or of* MEG data *and*
real-time fMRI neurofeedback *to understand the *mechanisms whereby prosody
and rhythm support linguistic processing per se*. The computational
modeling work will be an extension of our recent work on the neural
encoding of acoustic information in speech sounds (
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31285622). The research will be done in
the group of Narly *Golestani* in Geneva (www.brainandlanguagelab.org), in
collaboration with researchers in Switzerland and abroad (Elia *Formisano*
in Maastricht, and Frank *Scharnowski* in Vienna).

Applicants should hold a degree in *Cognitive Neuroscience*, *Biomedical
Engineering, Computational Neuroscience, or a related field*, and should
have solid experience in *human brain imaging *and* programming*, and
ideally also *in computational modelling (i.e. encoding / decoding) of fMRI
*and/or of* MEG data, real-time fMRI based neurofeedback, machine learning
and statistics*. Knowledge of French would be an asset.

The NCCR places great emphasis on gender diversity and we particularly
encourage women to apply.

To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, names and contact information of
2-3 references as well as any other relevant documents to
Narly.Golestani at unige.ch. Feel free to contact me should you have any
questions.


*Deadline for application: June 30th 2020.*
