Postdoc position in Cognitive Neuroscience at Leiden University

Postdoc position in Cognitive Neuroscience at Leiden University - Research project "The role of noradrenergic arousal in reward-based learning and decision-making" In this postdoc project, we will examine the role of the noradrenergic brainstem arousal system in reward-based learning and decision-making. 

Recent theoretical and empirical work on reward-based decision-making in volatile environments has suggested that behavioral variability does not only reflect random variability during the choice process (i.e., exploration) but also random variability during the updating (learning) of action values. The goal of the proposed project is to examine the degree to which these two (often adaptive) sources of variability in human decision-making are regulated by the activity of the noradrenergic system. 

We will use a recently developed computational (reinforcement-learning) model to decompose human behavior into distinct learning and choice processes.. We will test how a pharmacological manipulation of the noradrenergic system alters random choice and learning variability, pupil-linked arousal, and neural (EEG/fMRI) activity in decision-making areas of the brain. We will also examine the link between inter-individual differences in locus coeruleus integrity (using structural MRI) and sources of behavioral variability.

Post-Doctoral Position, Uni Oldenburg: analysis of speech coding in the human brain

The Department of Applied Neurocognitive Psychology at Oldenburg University, Germany, offers a Post-doctoral position (salary level E13 TVL, 3 years) with a focus on signal processing / statistical learning for analysis of speech coding in the human brain. The position is linked to the collaborative research center "The Active Auditory System" SFB-TR 31. 

The research center aims to characterize and model mechanism of auditory object formation and scene analysis by combining psychophysical, neurophysiological, and quantitative modelling. It complements the Excellence Cluster "Hearing 4 All" which was recently awarded to the University of Oldenburg. 

The combined effort of these centers will establish a strong link between neurophysiological models of auditory object representation and subjective perception. The post-doctoral position is situated in a project that applies statistical learning methods to human intracranial recordings (ECoG) and fMRI to derive and test quantitative statistical models of speech coding in the human brain.

The experiments are performed in a highly interdisciplinary lab environment and in close collaboration with the University of California Berkeley and Stanford University. The quantitative nature of the research project will require highly motivated candidates with strong quantitative and experimental skills.

PhD Position available at Signal Processing Group

PhD position available at Signal Processing Group at the Department of Medical Physics and Acoustics, University of Oldenburg, Germany is seeking to fill the position of a PhD student in the PhD Program "Signals and Cognition". This full-time position is available for initially 3 years, with a monthly stipend amounting to min. 1500 € (net).

The title of the envisaged research project is "Multi-microphone speech enhancement using brain computer interfaces" (SigCog 05). In many speech communication applications, such as hearing aids and teleconferencing systems, the recorded signals consist of a mixture of different speakers and background noise. 

Although in the last decades several multi-microphone speech enhancement techniques (e.g. fixed and adaptive beamforming, Multi-Channel Wiener Filter, blind source separation) have been developed, they all rely on pre-defined assumptions about the target speaker. E.g. in hearing aids the target speaker is typically assumed to be in front of the user, whereas in teleconferencing systems it is assumed to be the loudest speaker. 

Doctoral Grant in Biostatistics

Doctoral Grant from The Unit of Biostatistics fosters collaboration with researchers in epidemiology, clinical research, and biological, social, and basic sciences. The research interests span a wide range that includes quantile inference, computational statistics, meta-analysis, survival data analysis, genetic statistics, longitudinal data analysis, causal inference, and asymptotic inference. The unit is actively involved in the development and application of statistical methods that may help improve each and every step and thus contribute toward solving health problems. 

The unit also strives to disseminate knowledge and culture of biostatistics domestically and internationally. Post-graduate research supervision, teaching, and presentations to statistical and non-statistical audiences are an essential part of its mission.
