<div dir="ltr"><p>One postdoctoral position and two PhD graduate studentships in
auditory neuroscience are available from June 2016 in a new research
group set up by Prof. Jan Schnupp at the City University of Hong
Kong. Our lab will use electrophysiological and psychoacoustic
techniques to study neural mechanisms of auditory perception in
humans and rats. Experiments studying plastic changes in the central
auditory pathway following cochlear implant stimulation are also
planned.
</p><p>Hong Kong is an exceptionally vibrant and exciting place to live
and work.
</p><p>Key techniques in our research include the digital processing of
electrophysiological and acoustic signals, as well as automating the
behavioral psychoacoustic testing of experimental animals. We are
therefore particularly interested in candidates with a background, or
at least an interest, in computer programming, computational and or
statistical modelling, and perhaps a little electronics. Experience
in animal handling, small animal surgery and electrophysiological
recordings would also be desirable.
