A postdoctoral position in the Center for Auditory and Speech Sciences is available beginning July 1, 1993. The Postdoctoral Fellow will work on an NIH-funded project on haptic perception of multidimensional patterns including speech. Applicants are invited with background in speech perception, tactile or haptic perception, experimental psychology, acoustic phonetics or speech signal processing. Applicants should have a Ph.D. or expect to have obtained their degree by the July 1 start date.
Funding is currently available.
The position is funded on a yearly basis, but it is likely that a second year of support will be available. Predoctoral fellowship applicants must concurrently apply for admission to the MIT or Harvard degree program. Postdoctoral applicants will usually have at least one year and preferably three years of residency training prior to beginning of fellowship. The combined training program offers a wide range of opportunities for education, research, and collegial interaction among the training sites. A large variety of course offerings at Harvard, MIT, and Tufts, many seminars, journal clubs, and other opportuities for exchange of information provide all trainees with opportunities to learn about the variety of work occurring at the various laboratories and in the affiliated institutions, as well as in the larger field of medical informatics.
