Two PhD Positions in Auditory Neuroscience-Hannover
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.
For questions or informal enquiries about these posts please contact Dr. Matthias Wittfoth: (wittfoth.matthias@ mh-hannover. de) +49 (0) 511-532-3578.
Please include the following documents in your application (preferably in one PDF-file): Curriculum Vitae, names and contact details of two personal references, a description of your personal qualifications, future research interests and academic goals.
Applications should be sent to: wittfoth.matthias@ mh-hannover. de
