McGill University - 1 Postdoctoral Position in Modeling of Music and Speech Production


A 2-year postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Dr. Caroline Palmer at McGill
University, Montreal (http://www.mcgill.ca/spl/). The project, funded by the Natural Sciences
and Engineering Research Council (Canada), involves measurement and modeling of cognitive
processes in production of music and speech, based on behavioral, motion capture, and/or
electrophysiological data. The lab is part of Montreal's rich research community in auditory
neuroscience, including BRAMS (www.brams.org), an international lab for study of music neuroscience, and CRLMB (www.crlmb.ca), a research centre for speech science.

We encourage applicants with doctoral degrees in cognitive neuroscience, psychology,
computer science, or related fields. Some experience with time series analysis methods, and
MATLAB and/or programming skills is necessary.

Interested applicants are welcome to contact Caroline Palmer in advance. Applicants should
send a CV, statement of research interests, a few select reprints or preprints, and contact
information for three letters of  reference to spllab.mcgill@gmail.com .
Deadline for applications is July 1, 2011, with an anticipated start date of September, 2011.
