PhD position, neurcognitive imaging lab Carleton U Ottawa
Short-notice, fast-track turn around/response applications are invited for a 4-year funded ($30,000 CDN/yr) special PhD position in the Neurocognitive Imaging lab at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada (http://www.carleton.ca/nci/Home.html) starting in September 2010. The candidate is expected to contribute to a multi-method research program focusing on converging EEG/ERP, behavioral and subjective judgment/decision correlates of imagery-based spatial reasoning as applied to real-life decision procedures (i.e., medical/health). A component of this research includes building simple explanatory computational and/or simulation models; thus, expertise in one or both of the latter research approaches is an asset.
Eligibility requirements
Candidates for this PhD student position should have a Master’s degree in cognitive science, computer science, engineering, experimental/cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, or any related cognitive neuroscience fields (including MD or Epidemiology degrees). Candidates are expected to have an undergraduate GPA equivalent to A or A+ and a graduate GPA equivalent to A+. In addition, they are expected to have advanced research competencies in one or more of the following areas: 1) strong computer and programming skills (e.g., E-Prime; Matlab); 2) experience with EEG data collection and analysis (past experience with Neuroscan systems is a plus); 3) strong, documented (via courses or research products) applied mathematical skills; 4) able to work in a team. Outstanding students already graduated with an undergraduate honours degree may also be considered especially if “mature” students with past relevant work experience in research institutions that may be deemed as an “equivalent” to advanced research competencies as specified above, however their admission is conditional on institutional and departmental approval (if one such student was selected, will be required to take 2-3 integrative methods/stats advanced courses at MA or Msc level).
Process
The candidate will be appointed as a PhD student (1.0 FTE) for a period of four years. The candidate’s performance will be evaluated after 18 months. By that time, students are expected to have applied for external funding to major granting agencies. If the evaluation is positive, the contract will be extended by 2½ years. R.A. salary top-ups are planned pending other incoming extramural funding to the lab or directly to the student.
Although the position is open to Canadian and international students of any nationality, only individuals with demonstrated written and verbal proficiency in English will be considered. (For details on the required proficiency level please see Carleton’s PhD general requirements: http://www.carleton.ca/psychology/graduate/phd/admission_requirements.html).
How to apply: Candidates should submit a detailed up to date CV, a list of university courses and grades obtained (via official electronic transcripts), as well as the names, full contact coordinates, and e-mail addresses of two scientists who may be contacted for confidential references. (International students must submit copies of English proficiency exams or equivalent documentation). Submission of copies of GRE scores (general and/or discipline, e.g., psychology) are very welcome but optional.
Please send the above materials by February 18, 2010 to: amedeo@connect.carleton.ca
Although all applications will be given serious consideration, only selected individuals will be invited for a Skype interview by February 20, 2010
