[Netherlands] PhD position in Music Cognition at University of Amsterdam

PhD position in Music Cognition at University of Amsterdam

Overview
The PhD student will take part in the CSCA research programme: The role of neural plasticity in conscious perception and will be supervised by the principal investigator Prof. Henkjan Honing and a postdoctoral researcher. This programme consists of three intertwined projects addressing the following three questions:

Does consciousness require synaptic plasticity?
Does perceptual learning depend on consciousness and not on attention?
Does conscious perception depend on previous learning of image statistics?

The PhD project will mainly contribute to the second question by studying hierarchical time perception in adults. In addition, the project will be concerned with the computational modeling of the temporal aspects of music (such as rhythm, timing, and tempo) and the role of perception, attention, expectation and memory in music cognition. Next to computational modeling, we will use brain imaging techniques to identify global neural correlates of rhythm perception.

PhD position at Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR)

Overview
ASCoR currently has one vacancy for a PhD candidate for the project `Health campaign effects: The role of interpersonal communication and exposure to news media messages as competing sources of information`.

Most health campaigns only have small or even no effects. A partial explanation is that people are exposed to competing sources of information that interfere with health campaign information. This project examines two alternative sources of interference that have largely been ignored so far: 1) Interpersonal communication, and 2) exposure to news media messages about the campaign and the targeted health behaviour.

Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships at Cornell University

Overview
The Society for the Humanities will sponsor two postdoctoral teaching-research fellowships in the humanities, each awarded for the two-year period beginning July 2011. Each fellowship offers a stipend of $45,000/year. While in residence at Cornell, Mellon Fellows hold department affiliations and have limited teaching duties and the opportunity for scholarly work. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships are available in two areas of specialization.
