A new postdoctoral position is available to work on in utero precursors of human vocal learning at the University of Zurich.
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to carry out investigations into fetal brain responses to speech and non-speech sounds, in order to understand how in utero exposure to sound can affect post-natal vocal behaviour. The ideal candidate has a passion for elucidating the neural basis of language and proven experience in dealing with the challenges of neuroimaging. The successful applicant will carry out analyses of existing functional and structural in utero MRI data and will have the lead in the design and execution of a fetal auditory fMRI experiment. In addition to analytical and experimental work, 20% (flexible) can be given over to methods development, such as using machine-learning for the analysis of fetal MRI data.
The primary supervisor is Alexis Hervais-Adelman, in close collaboration with PD Dr. Andras Jakab of the Fetal and Neonatal Imaging Team, Center for MR-Research at the University Children's Hospital Zürich. In addition to affiliation in the Department of Psychology and the University Children's Hospital, the successful embedded in an inspiring multidisciplinary research environment, thanks to close contact with the NCCR “Evolving Language”, the Zurich Centre for Linguistics and the Zurich Centre for Neuroscience.
