• Posted April 1: Post-Doc in Auditory Predictive Coding (Translational and Clinical Research Institute, Newcastle University, Newscastle Upon Tyne, UK)

"We are seeking a full-time research associate in Newcastle University’s Translational and Clinical Research Institute. The appointee will join a new research group, led by Dr William Sedley, also including two PhD students. The group forms part of Newcastle University’s larger Auditory Cognition Group (www.auditorycognition.org), with PIs including Tim Griffiths, Adrian Rees, Chris Petkov, Yukiko Kikuchi and Kai Alter.

The appointee will join a Wellcome Trust funded programme of research for 5 years, focusing on the fundamental question of how the intensity and loudness of stimuli are processed and represented in contemporary accounts of brain function such as predictive coding. This question is highly important and widely relevant in both basic science and a range of clinical disorders from tinnitus to chronic pain, yet has received little dedicated attention.

The programme of research focuses on human studies with both healthy controls and clinical populations (mainly tinnitus and hyperacusis). These are conducted in a dedicated EEG, physiology and psychophysics laboratory in Newcastle, at the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging in London (for MEG and fMRI), and in the Human Brain Research Laboratory in Iowa (for invasive neurosurgical recordings from epilepsy patients). The appointee will be expected to spend time working in all of these centres (travel and accommodation expenses covered). National and international collaborators on the programme include Karl Friston (London), Maria Chait (London), Tim Griffiths (Newcastle) and Matthew Howard (Iowa).

Start date: 1^st of July 2021, or as soon after as possible

• Due April 1: Post-doc (Skoe & Myers Lab, Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, USA) - examining the neural basis of categorical perception of speech.

"Qualified individuals are invited to apply for a full-time postdoctoral position under the supervision of Drs. Erika Skoe and Emily Myers in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Connecticut. The postdoc will work as part of a collaborative team on an NSF-funded project examining the neural basis of categorical perception of speech. The project willcombine EEG-based and MRI-based methods to study individual differences at multiple levels of the neural processing stream in a diverse population of young adults. The candidate will be involved in all aspects of the project including data collection, statistical analysis, and manuscript preparation.  The position has a flexible start date.  The initial appointment is one year and renewable for up to three years total, with preference given to those who can commit to at least two years in the position.

Minimum qualifications: Ph.D. in communication sciences and disorders, psychology, neuroscience, or related fields; expertise in MRI and/or EEG data collecting and processing; strong evidence of research in speech, language, or hearing sciences; excellent verbal and written communication skills; excellent interpersonal skills.

Preferred qualifications: Programming experience in R or MatLab, multivariate imaging analysis techniques, strong computational skills, experience with clinical audiological methods.

The position includes opportunities for professional development and interdisciplinary training, as well as the opportunity to be part of the large and vibrant community of language researchers at the University of Connecticut.

If you are interested in the position, please email Erika Skoe(erika.skoe@uconn.edu) and Emily Myers (emily.myers@uconn.edu) a recent CV, a brief statement of research interests (1 page), and the contact information for 2 references. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Applications received prior to April 1st, 2021 will be given full consideration."

Industry and Other Non-Academic Jobs

• Posted Oct 31: Musicologist & Metadata Manager (Naxos of America, Franklin, TN, USA). Spanish/English Bilingual.

• Posted March 2: Research Audiologist (Bose, Boston, USA).

• Posted March 9 (Start Date: April 2021): Researcher/Developer (MTG-UPF & BMAT, Barcelona, Spain).

The MTG-UPF, in collaboration with BMAT, starts a project funded by the Generalitat de Catalunya that will foster research and development on psychoacoustics and computational modelling. In the project we will address perceptual thresholds of music in different audiovisual contexts. The project opens the possibility to work for 2 years into the design and execution of: a) experiments with human listeners; b) annotation campaigns to improve predictive algorithms of human listeners perception of music in audiovisual contexts; and c) predictive modelling of listening thresholds, under different conditions, using deep learning. The overall required dedication is 75% of a full-time schedule, but this amount of dedication can be partially modulated according to the project and the candidate requirements. We can also be flexible about the requirements of physical presence although, ideally, the candidate should be able to work in Barcelona, at the MTG. The MTG contribution will be supervised by Perfecto Herrera with the collaboration of BMAT researchers and developers.

Required skills/qualifications: We seek candidates with a background allowing them to carry on research on perceptual processes in applied contexts and, additionally, their computational modelling. Suitable degrees, among others, could be Computer Science, Electrical, Audiovisual or Multimedia Engineering, Psychology, Audiology, etc.
- Experience with Python and Git (or similar tools)
- Ability to work and deliver autonomously while being a part of a team

Valuable skills/experience:
- Master degree in Sound and Music Computing, Music Technology, Psychoacoustics, or related field
- Experience designing and carrying out experiments involving human subjects, online or on-site, and analysing their data
- Experience developing audio signal processing algorithms and deep learning applications
