Post Doctoral Associate position, Boston University -- great opportunity with Jason Bohland

The Quantitative Neuroscience Laboratory at Boston University (http://neurospeech.org; PI Jason Bohland) is seeking applications for a postdoctoral associate to carry out psychophysical, physiological, and computational studies, which aim to determine how speakers use auditory feedback to guide the sequential production of speech.  Full-time funding is currently available for a period of at least two years. There is a possibility of engaging in additional independent or collaborative research including computational and/or brain imaging studies.
Requirements:
·       PhD in neuroscience, speech science, biomedical or electrical engineering, or a related field
·       Strong technical, mathematical, and computational skills
·       Strong written and oral communication skills
·       Programming experience using MATLAB, Python, or R
·       Ability to investigate and solve problems relatively independently
Ideal candidate would have:
·       Experience conducting human subjects research
·       Experience analyzing speech acoustics
·       Experience with multivariate statistical approaches and/or machine learning
·       Experience with Northern Digital Wave or other articulatory monitoring systems
·       Experience with computational and/or neural network modeling
·       Working knowledge of human brain functional anatomy including speech and language systems

Interested individuals should contact Dr. Bohland directly at jbohland@bu.edu and include a CV and a brief statement of interest and availability.
