offering a postdoctoral position focused on the neurobiological basis of predictive processing and statistical learning. <o:p class=""></o:p></font></span></b></p>
<p class="" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">The main project will focus on the oscillatory correlates of predictive processing in vision and audition with
a special focus on neural entrainment phenomena and top-down control. The project is part of a collaborative research effort of the BCBL with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem funded by the ERC with PIs: Ram Frost (Hebrew U), Craig Richter (BCBL), Nicola
Molinaro (BCBL). The expected time frame is one year with a possible extension to another year.<o:p class=""></o:p></font></span></p>
<p class="" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">The project is based on a set of EEG and MEG experiments that will be designed to uncover the neural mechanisms
supporting predictive processing – across sensory modalities and cognitive domains. The long-term goal is to evaluate the role that such predictive skills play in second language learning, and how these are implemented neurobiologically.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">We are interested in candidates with a high level of independence, familiarity with EEG or MEG, as well as computing tools (Python/Matlab).
Candidates should demonstrate a convincing publication record.<o:p class=""></o:p></font></span></p>
<p class="" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team of researchers studying the cognitive and neural
mechanisms underlying statistical learning, predictive processing and language learning, and research will be carried out primarily at the BCBL, with stays at the Hebrew U. <o:p class=""></o:p></font></span></p>
<p class="" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 14px;"><font face="Arial" class="">Deadline: April 15th, 2019.<o:p class=""></o:p></font></span></p>
