Postdoctoral Associate Neuroscience of SPACE Lab / Dr. Jennifer Groh (Depts. Of: Psychology and Neuroscience, Neurobiology, Computer Science, and Biomedical Engineering) Duke University Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Research in the Neuroscience of SPACE lab at Duke University (PI: Jennifer Groh, www.duke.edu/~jmgroh) involves visual, auditory, and multisensory processing in the brain using neurophysiological and computational/statistical techniques. We are recruiting a Postdoctoral Associate to engage in research involving the properties and functional role of eye movement-related eardrum oscillations, or EMREOs. EMREOs are small sounds made by the brain via the ears motor actuators (middle ear muscles, outer hair cells) and were discovered by our group in 2018 (Gruters, Murphy PNAS; press coverage here ). We hypothesize that this signal plays a role in coordinating hearing with vision. Current work focuses on the mechanisms and functional significance of this phenomenon and involves testing in normal humans, human clinical populations, and monkeys. Recent findings can be found here, here, and here. We are especially interested in hearing from candidates who see themselves as eventually launching an independent research program for which this training would provide a strong boost. A completed PhD in neuroscience or a related field is required prior to the start date (target: spring-summer-fall 2023). Previous experience working with a non-human species is a plus. This is a full time, grant funded position, eligible for all Duke benefits (https://hr.duke.edu/benefits) with an initial appointment of one year with the possibility of renewal, dependent on funding and performance. Interested individuals should apply through Academic Jobs Online and include their resume, a cover letter and contact information for at least 2 references. Only applicants that have applied through Academic Jobs Online will be reviewed. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. If you are not able to upload your application materials or if letter writers would prefer to upload their letters directly, please complete your application and email those materials to Meghann Koffi at meghann.koffi@duke.edu to be uploaded manually. For questions about the lab or position, please contact Dr. Jennifer Groh (Depts of Psychology and Neuroscience, Neurobiology, Computer Science, and Biomedical Engineering) at jmgroh@duke.edu.
