[Eeglablist] Two PhD Positions in Auditory Neuroscience

[Matthias Wittfoth]

*Two PhD Positions in Auditory Neuroscience*


We are seeking highly motivated PhD Students to work in the program 
"Function and pathophysiology of the auditory system" at the Hannover 
Medical School, in Hannover, Germany.
The goal of our group is to investigate neural mechanisms of human 
auditory system by using event-related potentials (32-channel system, 
Brain Products). Experiments will involve healthy controls, as well as 
subjects with cochlear implants (CI). An emphasis will be placed on the 
processing of language-related irregularities as well as music 
perception. All studies are conducted in collaboration with the Clinic 
for Laryngology, Rhinology and Otology.

The research will be conducted at the Hannover Medical School 
(http://mh-hannover.de) in Hannover, Germany, which is one of the 
world's leading university medical centers. Our research and patient 
care set national and international standards. We are also part of an 
excellent regional medical network. Our outstanding success in 
interdisciplinary collaboration both within the MHH and with extramural 
scientific institutions is reflected in the fact that the MHH is the 
German medical university with the greatest volume of grant funding.

*PhD positions:*
The candidates must have a master degree (or equivalent) in 
neuroscience, medicine, psychology, or a related field. Proficiency in 
oral and written English is necessary. PhD students will have the 
opportunity to participate in the Center of Systems Neuroscience.

Starting date for all positions is flexible (official teaching classes 
start date: October, 1st, 2009), but an earlier start will be supported. 
Scholarship will be 1500 €/months.

We seek to increase the number of women in those areas where they are 
under-represented and therefore explicitly encourage women to apply. We 
are committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially 
encourage them to apply.

The *closing date for applications is 15th May 2009* but interested 
candidates are encouraged to get in touch at their earliest convenience.
