<p>Dear all,<br>
</p>
for our project Audiovisual speech entrainment in deafness funded by
the FWF (Austrian <br>
Science Fund) <b>we are</b> <b>seeking a motivated PhD student to
join our team</b>. <br>
<br>
We would be happy if you <b>forward this announcement to any
potentially interested candidate</b>.<br>
<br>
Building up on our recently published work (Hauswald et
al., Curr Biology, 2018; <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://">https://</a><br>
doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2018.03.044), the <b>goal of the project</b>
is <b>to advance our understanding </b><b><br>
</b><b>of visuo-phonological mapping processes in normal
hearing and postlingually deaf </b><b><br>
</b><b>individuals</b>. The latter includes individuals before and
after Cochlea Implantation, in order to <br>
investigate to what extent relevant processes predict and change
during rehabilitation. Next <br>
to <b>behavioural measure</b>s, neurophysiological data will be
collected using <b>MEG</b> and <b>EEG</b>. <br>
<br>
Ideally the <b>candidate</b> will have <b>completed a
research-oriented Master</b> and a <b>high</b> <br>
<b>motivation and interest in cognitive neuroscience</b>. Given the
international composition of our <br>
lab, <b>excellent English</b> in spoken and written form
is a must. While not being a knock-out <br>
criterium, <b>programming experience is a big advantage</b> (data
analysis carried out mostly in <br>
Matlab, with some occasional Python interspersed). <br>
<br>
The candidate will work on an everyday basis with another
PhD student and will be <br>
<b>supervised by experienced researchers</b> (Anne Hauswald; Anne
Keitel; Nathan Weisz). For <br>
the clinical part the group holds strong connections to
the ENT department of the <br>
Salzburger Landeskliniken (Sebastian Rösch). <br>
<br>
<b>Three years of funding are secured</b> with a potential
one year extension. Salary will be in <br>
agreement with the salary scheme provided by the FWF,
which is internationally quite <br>
competitive and covers health insurance and social security

<br>
<br>
<b>The ideal starting date is September 2018</b>, however some
flexibility is given. The <b>position </b><b><br>
</b><b>will be open until an ideal candidate is recruited</b>. <br>
