Phd position in Brain research, At Aalto university, Finland
We are looking for a doctoral student to work in a project which involves the study of human brain function using non-invasive neuroimaging at Aalto University. The specific focus area is the neural basis of hearing and the processing of speech in the brain. The doctoral student will be based at the Brain and Mind Laboratory (BML) which is part of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Computational Science (BECS), Aalto University School of Science. The research methods include magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and behavioural measurements. The project, combining psychology, neurosciences, and computational methods, aims to reveal how the human auditory system and its memory mechanisms have evolved to become specialized in processing speech signals. The project is funded by the Academy of Finland and Aalto University.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for an applicant who has recently completed, or is nearing completion, of a master’s degree in psychology, cognitive science, physics, or engineering. We are especially seeking applicants with an interest in developing their skills in cognitive neuroscience and computational methods. Programming skills are desirable. The applicant is expected to have both good teamwork skills and an ability to work independently. A good command of English is required.
How can I apply?
Applications should be sent by e-mail, no later than October 31, 2013, to the Aalto University Registry (kirjaamo@aalto.fi) as well as to Dr. Tiitinen (hannu.tiitinen@aalto.fi) and Dr. May (patrick.may@aalto.fi), with “Doctoral student position/BECS” as well as the applicant’s name written on the subject line. The application should include the following documents in PDF format:
Dr. Hannu Tiitinen (hannu.tiitinen@aalto.fi) and Dr. Patrick May (patrick.may@aalto.fi); Department of Biomedical Engineering and Computational Science (BECS), Aalto University, PO Box 12200, FI-00076 AALTO, Finland
