DETAILS OF THE OFFER

Working place: CEA Saclay

Missions:

The postdoctoral researcher will develop Workpackage 2, aiming to understand how temporal orienting of attention derived from temporal predictions interacts with the auditory sensory analysis by addressing the functional consequences of probabilistic temporal predictions for audition, in an extensive psychophysical approach. To gain insights on the underlying neural dynamics, dedicated EEG or MEG experiments will be implemented.

Qualifications:

The ideal candidate will have a background in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or audiology, and demonstrated experience with (auditory) psychophysics and/or behavioural timing paradigms. Prior experience with magneto- or electroencephalography is a plus, but not mandatory. They will be responsible for the development of a concise research plan and management of the scientific project including data acquisition, supervision of master students, publication, and knowledge transfer.

• PhD in cognitive neurosciences, psychology, audiology, or related fields
• solid record of internationally peer-reviewed scientific work
• expertise or strong interest in temporal cognition and auditory perception
• capacity to develop and take responsibility of the scientific approach of the dedicated work package
• collegial attitude and willingness to work and collaborate in a international research team
• fluid mastery of oral and written English (French is not a requirement)
