Connectionists: Postdoctoral position in natural language processing and neuroscience, University of Geneva, Switzerland

[Timothée Proix]

Dear all,

a postdoctoral position is available under the supervision of Prof. Pierre Mégevand (https://www.unige.ch/medecine/neucli/en/groupes-de-recherche/1034megevand/) and Timothée Proix (https://ndlab.ch/) at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. 

The project lies at the interface between natural language processing and intracranial EEG data analysis. The goal of the project is to understand the neural representations of speech production and perception in conversations. The candidate will contribute to acquisition and analysis of intracranial EEG data and speech recordings. 

Applicants should have prior experience with machine learning methods for natural language processing, as well as in advanced data analysis techniques. Experience in electrophysiological recordings and knowledge in neuroscience is a significant advantage.

The research will be performed at the campus Biotech in the university of Geneva, in collaboration with the Geneva University Hospital. The positions are funded by the private foundation of the Geneva University Hospital, and salaries are in compliance with guidelines of the University of Geneva.

The ideal start is May 2022, with some flexibility. To apply, send a motivation letter, CV, and contact information for 2-3 references, as well as any other relevant documents to the Prof.  Pierre Mégevand (pierre.megevand (at) unige.ch) as well as Timothée Proix (timothee.proix (at) unige.ch).

Screening of applications will start by March 2022 and will continue until the position is filled.
