Dear all,
Applications are invited for a PhD in the newly established ‘Brain and Language Lab’ at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, under the supervision of Narly Golestani. Projects will include using functional MRI (fMRI), structural MRI (sMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and electroencephalography (EEG) to better understand brain functional and structural plasticity arising from auditory training.
The laboratory is affiliated with the Department of Clinical Neuroscience of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Geneva, and is a member of the Geneva University Neuroscience Center (http://neurocenter.unige.ch/).
Geneva offers a thriving international environment, with extensive cultural and outdoor activities, and a high quality of living.
Applicants should have strong interest and a background in neuroscience and ideally also in language and/or auditory research. Prior experience with fMRI, sMRI, DTI and/or EEG is required.
Salary will start at 45,540 CHF per year and will increase by about 2,200 CHF annually.
Applications will be considered until the position is filled. Informal inquiries can be addressed to Narly Golestani (Narly.Golestani@unige.ch). Applications including a CV including list of publications, a statement of research interests, and the names and full contact details of two referees should be sent to: Narly.Golestani@unige.ch.
