cell 溅出的水花儿: POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN SPEECH PERCEPTION AND THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF HUMAN AUDITORY CORTEX
A postdoctoral fellowship is available in Martinez, CA (in the San Francisco Bay Area) to study the relationship between age-related changes in speech perception and anatomical and functional changes in human auditory cortex. Speech processing will be tested with nonsense syllables and sentences and correlated with tests of basic auditory discrimination abilities and auditory short-term verbal memory. Subject with impaired speech processing will then undergo PC-based adaptive training designed to improve speech processing in noise and force beneficial neuroplastic changes in auditory cortex. Brain structure will be imaged using multimodal structural brain imaging (including high-resolution T1, diffusion tensor, and magnetization transfer imaging) and analyzed using advanced cortical surface mapping as well as automated techniques to analyze subcortical structures and white matter tracts. In selected subjects, functional activations to speech and non-speech stimuli will be studied using fMRI. The job involves close collaboration with international scientists, graduate students, and post-docs. Job Availability: Immediate. Job duration: 2-4 years. Salary: $40,000-$65,000 depending on experience.
QUALIFICATIONS. Successful candidates should have a strong background in auditory perception, physiology and/or anatomy (PhD or MD required), a good publication record, familiarity with Windows and Linux operating systems, and some programming experience. Knowledge of psychophysics, neuropsychology, and neuroimaging methods including ERPs, fMRI, or TMS is desirable. US citizenship preferred. Interested candidates should email a C.V., letter of intent, and the names of three references to: Professor David L. Woods, Dept. of Neurology, UC Davis and VANCHCS (127E), 150 Muir Rd., Martinez CA 94553. Email: dlwoods@ucdavis.edu[/url].
