Postdoctoral Fellow in Prodrome/Early Psychosis
The Northwestern University Adolescent Development and Preventive Treatment (ADAPT) program is seeking applications for a postdoctoral fellow.   · We are looking for someone with interests in adolescent development and risk for psychopathology.   · Prior psychosis research and assessment experience is welcomed but not required- roots in clinical science and interests in human development are the priority. Currently we are running a number of protocols with typically developing, prodromal syndrome and early psychosis populations focusing on biomarker, treatment, and scale development. Join our team and be involved with collecting and writing up data from any and all of these great and innovative multimodal studies.  Please see our website for more details:  http://www.adaptprogram.com . The successful applicant will join Vijay Mittal and an active research team and will be responsible for designing experiments, analyzing and processing data, and publishing/presenting findings. There will also be ample opportunities for advanced training (Northwestern has a number of in-depth training opportunities, covering a range of methodological and quantitative methods), collaborations (benefit from a number of active ADAPT lab collaborations), building mentorship experience (learning to direct and supervise research and career development for graduate students), and developing an independent research program.  Significant attention will be placed on career development (e.g., regular conference attendance/participation, training in grant writing, peer review, mentorship, teaching, presentations/job-talks etc.)  This is an ideal position for someone interested in preparing for a tenure-track job.  For questions or to submit and application, please contact Vijay Mittal ( vijay.mittal@northwestern.edu ).  Applicants should send a C.V., brief letter describing interests and prior experience (note preference for which position you are applying for), and two publications (that best reflect contributions of the candidate).  Salary is based on the NIMH Post-doctoral scale, and funding is available for up to two-years (appointments are for one year, but renewable for two years, based on progress/merit).  There is a flexible start date (from June 15- Fall 2019) and review of applications will begin immediately!

Postdoctoral position in binaural integration/modeling
A postdoctoral position is available to investigate binaural spectral integration: how sounds are fused and integrated spectrally between the ears.  Experiments examine how binaural pitch fusion relates to peripheral resolution and auditory object analysis (streaming and segregation), and how abnormal binaural fusion affects speech perception, especially in noisy environments.  We study both normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners with hearing aids and/or cochlear implants. Techniques include psychophysical experimentation, programming of the cochlear implant interface, objective measurements including recording from the cochlear implant, and computational modeling of speech fusion.  Strong programming skills in MATLAB and C++ and experience with signal processing and computational modeling are preferred. This position is supported for up to 3 years by an NIDCD/NIH R01 grant.  Teaching and grant writing are encouraged as part of training. We are part of one of the major auditory research centers in the U.S., with over 15 laboratories at the Oregon Hearing Research Center (OHRC) and the Portland VA National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR).  Research spans the basic sciences to human behavior, and cochlea to auditory cortex.  This is a rich environment for academic interaction and collaboration.    Qualified applicants will have: - a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Neuroscience, Psychology, Communication Sciences and Disorders, or related fields - strong foundation in auditory neuroscience - strong oral and written English communication skills - experience with psychophysical experiments and working with human subjects - experience with computational modeling, signal processing, and programming in C++ and MATLAB.
