POSTDOC AND POSTGRAD POSITIONS IN NEURO-SIGNAL PROCESSING

[Sue Becker]

POST-DOCTORAL and POST-GRADUATE POSITIONS in NEURO-SIGNAL PROCESSING


Funding for two post-doctoral positions and at least two PhD students is
available to develop and test intelligent hearing aid
technology.  A group of researchers at McMaster University recently received
funding from NSERC, Canada for this exciting project which is being
conducted in collaboration with Gennum Corporation, one of the world's
largest hearing aid manufacturers.  The research team, headed by Prof.
Simon Haykin in Electrical Engeering, also includes Professors Sue Becker, 
Ron Racine, John Platt and Laurel Trainor in the Psychology Department. The
team's expertise spans neural modelling, signal processing,
neurophysiology, neural plasticity, and auditory processing.  
Preference will be given to applicants with expertise in neurobiological
modelling of the auditory system or adaptive filter design or a related
field. Excellent computer programming skills are essential.  
Students joining the team could obtain a graduate degree in either
Electrical Engineering or Psychology, and would enroll in September, 2000 
or as soon as possible thereafter. Postdocs could start immediately.
