The Language and Comparative Cognition group at the Center for Brain and Cognition (Universitat Pompeu Fabra; Barcelona) is offering one PhD position to work on a project financed by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (PI: Juan Manuel Toro; https://www.upf.edu/web/lcc).
The project explores the processing advantages of natural prosodic cues in the context of language acquisition and their generalization across domains (including music). It involves work with adult participants using EEG recordings. Optionally, the student might also be involved in experiments using non-invasive techniques with non-human animals. The position is for three years.
Requirements: Successful candidates should have a background and a master’s degree in relevant disciplines (including Psychology, Biology, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Music). Previous experience with experimental work is highly desirable. Knowledge of music theory and/or phonology is also a plus. If the candidate is interested in working with the animals, she/he should be in possession of the Spanish or Catalan certificate to work with laboratory animals, or willing to obtain it during the first year of the position.
The Center for Brain and Cognition (https://www.upf.edu/web/cbc) is a research center offering a rich interdisciplinary study environment. It consists of several research groups that include Principal Investigators, Postdocs and PhD students working on a wide array of issues in current Cognitive Neurosciences.
Interested candidates should send a letter of motivation and a CV to Juan Manuel Toro at juanmanuel.toro@upf.edu.
