The Basque Center on Cognition Brain and Language (BCBL; San Sebastián, Spain) offers a 2-year full-time post-doctoral position in cognitive neuroscience, with a possible renewal of 2 years. The research project will be on speech sound perception and reading acquisition. The post-doctoral fellow will have to implement phoneme perception behavioral tasks for young children and adults, and to perform mainly acoustic analyses. Applicants should have strong theoretical knowledge on phonetics and phonology and experience with acoustic measures. Additional expertise on language development and reading acquisition would be a plus.

It provides access to the most advanced behavioral and neuroimaging techniques, including 3 Tesla Siemens Prisma scanner, a whole-head MEG system, four ERP labs, a NIRS lab, a baby lab including an eye-tracker, two eye-tracking labs, and several well-equipped behavioral labs. The BCBL hosts excellent support staff and research personnel. Details of BCBL faculty research interests and research facilities can be found at http://ift.tt/21UUyx0.
