Postdoctoral fellowship (full time)
with focus on memory, hearing, & fMRI
Updated: Nov 04, 2024
The Auditory Aging lab at the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest has an opportunity for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship, supervised by Dr. Björn Herrmann. The successful applicant will use behavioral/psychophysical methods and functional neuroimaging (fMRI) in younger and older adults to study the interaction of memory and hearing in the context of naturalistic speech listening. The fellow will further have the opportunity to develop other projects depending on their skills, interests, and interactions with other lab members.
​
The fellowship will start in the spring of 2024 (flexible) and offers ample opportunity for collaborations both within the institute and with other researchers in Toronto. The Rotman Research Institute (RRI) is a premier international centre for the study of human brain function. The RRI is committed to advancing knowledge of healthy aging and age-related brain disorders, such as dementia, stroke, and sensory loss, by building on its foundational strengths in cognitive neuroscience and its leadership in the innovative use of informatics, electrophysiology, and neuroimaging technologies.
