Postdoctoral position in Music Cognition

For the Research Priority Area Brain & Cognition the ILLC invites applications for a
Postdoc in Music Cognition
1 fte (38 hours/week) for two years.

The postdoctoral researcher will take part in the UvA research priority program Brain & Cognition and will contribute to the subtheme investigating the role of consciousness and attention in rhythm perception (see here for more information). The research is concerned with the computational modeling of the temporal aspects of music (especially beat/meter induction) and the role of perception, attention, expectation and memory in music cognition. Next to computational modeling, brain imaging techniques will be used to identify and underpin the neural correlates of rhythm perception.

Deadline for applications: 23 June 2011. For more information, see http://www.hum.uva.nl/mmm/vacancies/postdoc.html or contact prof. dr. Henkjan Honing at honing at uva.nl.
